I've been ejected from the golf course management degree (even though I never hit a golf ball). It wasn't only the constant fear of being hit by a ball, it was all the fertilizer I inhaled from the greens. I'm now studying 'Pataphysics, the science of the particular, the science of 'laws governing exceptions'. I've swapped golf holes (green holes) for Black holes.

The Lost Student Negative Box (1)
This anonymous photograph comes from an on-going archive of some 4,000 lost student negatives,
exhumed by Greg Lucas (at regular intervals since 1988), from the ‘Lost Student
Negative Box’ (a depository, created and managed by the darkroom technician), situated
in the vicinity of the darkrooms at De Montfort University, Leicester.
The
images were all made by students studying Photography – as a response to Photography
briefs, then, abandoned (after a satisfactory print had been achieved, or as failures?)
in the darkroom – left in the enlarger, found
on the floor. At the end of each term, Lucas (a lecturer in the department) exhumed
the abandoned negatives – the skeletons of
prints – from their coffin-like box.

The Photograph and the Collection
We (Jane Fletcher and I) recently contributed a chapter to the dramatic tome, The Photograph and the Collection. Our contribution is a meditation on what students lose or throw away: "Lost in Camera - The Lost Student Negative Box".

Crowhurst Twinned with Montserrat
Whenever I stand on my
head (on a grave) in Crowhurst grave yard and look at the spiky little bit of sky,
framed between the church tower and the branches of the famous old yew tree, I
see the rock towers, high above the monastery, in Monsterrat.
