A Walk to the Doctor's

I finally found the time to add to my Sweyne's Eye project this morning en route to the doctor's surgery to see about my eye problem. The condition is a known symptom of my dupixent meds, but they sent me away with some antibiotic eye drops to see how I get on with them. The full foto-shoot of the day will be available on the Sweyne's Eye site soon, but I thought I would share a few here as the full Swansea site will be going behind a small paywall soon...

The first two pics are of the central police station, snapped from a number 13 bus. The make the place looker a lot greener than they are in reality.

Next up is this sign outside the Chinese chippie near the top of Pen-y-Graig. This whole area looks over Swansea Bay.

And here is another metal door on the same street. This second one has more of a rustic charm, I feel.

Finally, here are a few shots looking over the eastern end of the city, taken from the bottom of Mayhill.

I returned to work later in the day and captures a curious cloudscape overhead when I left again at the end of my shift.

3M Memories

For anyone interested in my Swansea Project and can remember the old 3M tower, I've happened upon a painted Open Reach Cabinet street cabinet celebrating tower's place in Swansea historic skylines. The fascinating truth about these public cabinets is that the company allowxanyone to paint them, so long as they stick to their published guidelines.

Copper Jack/ Birthday Boy

 Started 59th year (yes it my 58th birthday) by taking a trip down the Tawe river on the Copper Jack. It was an excellent 90 minute cruise, complete with a full audio narration. I recommend it highly. 

For more pics from the cruise, check out Sweyne's Eye.

We then had luncheon in The Red Lion pub before heading back to our temporary house for a chilled evening with little fudjcakes:

No! Don't set me off again.

Don't worry lol. There won't be a sequel to this old classic.

Sweyne's Eye - Swansea Sunsets

Ahead of schedule, you can now get your mits on this beast of a fotozine 🙂

Swansea City Sunsets - Introduction Time

With 28 days left of my deadline to finish and publish the latest edition of Sweyne's Eye, it's time for me to turn my attention to writing the introduction to the collection of sunset photographs featured in the zine. I have a feeling that this zine might be completed a good few weeks ahead of schedule...

Swansea City Sunsets Zine Update

 March 01, 2022

I have just 29 days left until the latest edition of my fotography zine Sweyne's Eye goes to press. All the photographic content is now in place and just needs fine-tuning in situ on the page. Gotta say, I am a little bit happy with this special edition zine :

To continue whetting your appetite, here are x3 more images from the forthcoming zine, featuring Swansea's picturesque Cockett Church:

Working on Sweyne's Eye ~ Swansea City Sunsets

Swansea City Sunsets

Tuesday, February 22, 2022

With the publication date of the latest edition of Sweyne's Eye rapidly looming (T-35 days), I thought it best I at least got the cover of the zine sorted. And here it is:

 

There may still be a few tweaks that need addressing before the zine goes on the market, but I am happy with today's progress :)

Swansea Maritime Quarter

I am continuing to make decent progress on the latest Sweyne's Eye fotozine. This issue will be devoted to some of the sunset images I have captured of Swansea City. Whilst the zine will feature its fair share of silhouetted cityscapes against blazing orange skies, I will also try to share some more unusual sunset shots, such a these two pics, taken in Swansea's maritime quarter.

Sweyne's Eye - Swansea City Sunsets

Sunday, February 13, 2022

Feeling a little brighter health-wise this past weekend, I finally made a good bit of progress on my next publishing project - the latest Sweyne's Eye photography zine, this next edition being titled Swansea City Sunsets. With just 45 days left to meet its deadline, this sudden headway came as a bit of a relief. My sight is now positively focussed on this target date.

The following set of of two images, taken from the upcoming zine, details the cobbled lane at Swansea Marina:

More Swansea Sunsets 4 - 7

 A few more episode to whet your appetite for the next issue of Sweyne's Eye :)

Swansea Sunsets 3

I love the effect the rain gives off in this photograph of a sun-shower over Townhill Park, Swansea. This image will 100% appear in the latest issue of my fotozine Sweyne's Eye:

A Busy Day

With my fotozine Passenger Seat now sent to the press, I think its time to curate a new series of photographs for the forthcoming new Sweyne's Eye zine. It's tentatively titled Swansea City Sunsets. Here are the first two pics from the project:
