For the next 10 days - 23rd Sept to 2nd Oct - I will be in Wigtown as Artist in Residence at the Book Festival.
I've created a separate blog specifically for the event, which will be updated most days.
The intention is it will track my progress from a workspace of empty walls to hopefully a room full of faces.
And from a nervous photographer wondering what the hell he's let himself in for to a confident artist able to hold his own in among the big boys.
Please visit "Artist in Residence" - http://kimayreswigtown.blogspot.com/ - and "Follow", "Share" and leave comments.
See you over there!

Facing The Weekend - The Book
Back at the end of May this year, I was involved in the Open Studio event, “Spring Fling”, where for 3 days I opened my doors to the public and took photos of anyone who wanted to join in the fun (see – Facing The Weekend).
I knew from the start I wanted to make a book out of the event, but rather a lot of life has been getting in the way this past summer. However, it is finally complete and available to be viewed and purchased on Blurb.com in Softcover and Hardcover formats.
Below is a promo video I’ve created for it – the soundtrack coming from the superb Sean Taylor, who some of you might remember I photographed for The Mill Sessions back at the beginning of the year (see – Sean Taylor and the Mill Sessions)
Underneath that is the Blurb widget, which allows you to look at the pages online to decide whether you it’s something you might like for your coffee table.
For those viewing this in their RSS feed, or n Facebook, there’s a chance neither the video nor the Blurb widget will appear, in which case, please follow these links:
