Silverprint are moving - again!

15 February 2016 Silverprint have just issued a press release announcing their decision to close the London Road premises and relocate to Dorset. See the details below: “Today 85% of customers are purchasing either through the Website, via email or phone.  However, as a result of the growth in this area of the business, the current premises had proven to become unsuitable to operate from, especially when handling the increased order volumes. Following many months of review,  the decision has been made to relocate Silverprint to Warehouse Premises in Poole, Dorset. Unfortunately in relation to this, the London Store at 120 London Road will close this Thursday 18 February at Midday, for the final time.  Due to the amount of lines offered (currently over 3,500) and the space required, it was considered not possible to retain a smaller Retail Shop in London. During the relocation, Silverprint will make every effort to limit any disruption to customer orders. The main number 02076200169 and Website www.silverprint.co.uk will remain Live throughout the changes and every effort will be made to keep customers updated.  Customers are also welcome to visit the new Premises, as a Trade Counter will be in operation.”

Research into trauma experienced during the American Civil War

Hello,

My name is Erin Solomons, and I'm pursuing a PhD (practice-based) in Photography at UCA. My project is about how trauma is experienced and remembered in the present. One of my case studies is from the American Civil War period. By using the wet collodion process, which documented the War, I'm experimenting with opening up a discussion about trauma, the body, and landscape. Older works, I've made, have dealt with identity, domesticity, and the American West. My work can be viewed at:

Please feel free to contact me.

Best wishes,

Erin

Call for authors..

After a bit of a hiatus I've managed to find some time to get to grips with the Blogger software and invite some more people to be contributing authors. If you get an email soon it's because I've invited you.  Why viewing is open to all, being an author gives you the ability to upload images and text to the blog, and to share your ideas with everyone. You do need a gmail account to do this.

If you'd like to be on the author list, please send me an email at my UCA email address and I'll invite you. - simple as that!

Peter.
