Recently, I’ve had another idea for a new photography project - and it’s already started. I’ll be uploading some of the images to Ozbonography once I’ve got the plans sorted a bit more, and figured out the potential commercial side of things.

Whatever, it’s good to have the necessary plans in place, along with some ideas and the like, to see how it all goes.

This particular project is going to work on a fairly tight time-scale - I want to get the first version and series done in the next five to six months in order for things to be ready by the end of 2008. It’s going to be interesting, that’s for sure.

It’s now two and a half years since I got my Canon EOS20D, and in that time the sensor had become disgusting.

So before we went to the Lake District, I invested in a tool to clean the sensor, the Visible Dust ‘Arctic Butterfly 724′ - stupid name, but decent product. It’s just a small(ish) brush that creates its own anti-static charge in order to pick up as much dust as possible, but it came highly recommended by a number of sources, so that’s what I went with.

And so far it seems to have done a good job on the sensor. A couple of swipes and it’s clean, with no more dust specks on any images. Plus, of course, now I’ve got the kit I’ll be able to clean it before it gets disgusting again.

Over the last year or so, I’ve been developing an idea for a coherent photographic project, which also has some potential for commercial sales. (Although of course we’ll just have to see whether or not that actually happens - but it’s got the potential for sure)

Up until this weekend, the project was just an idea - but now it’s started off, and I’m really pleased with the first results. There’s a long way to go with it - I think I won’t really be anywhere close to finishing it until this time next year, and possibly even longer, but at the same time I’ll be able to start looking at the commercial aspects well before the project is completed.

But still, it feels good to have at least started.
