Colin's Photography Workshop

We've been doing a lot of work with Colin Tennant on the Life Through A Lens Project. We were out on Monday night, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Colin brings the rain with him. We took pictures of the river, the bridges, the Ellon Editors team, the bus stop, the car park and entrances to various shops in Ellon, and hoping to go for a day out with him. We are getting on well with the Ellon Through Our Eyes book (final draft is hopefully being printed off). We've also viewed pictures on a slideshow. We have also learned how to use our new cameras and we think they are really good.

 

Colin Tennant

Colin Tennant came this morning and he was showing everyone how to use the new cameras, which we got from the DALNIA committee. Thank you to DALNIA for funding these.

He'll be coming back to Ellon on the week beginning, Monday 14th May 2012, and he will visit Drop-In as well as going out and taking photographs with the Ellon Editors Group.

He'll be coming to the centre from 1PM to 3PM on Wednesday 16th May and 10AM to 12PM on Thursday 17th May 2012.

We hope the weather will be better when Colin comes back so we could get out to take some photos.

Ellon Through Our Eyes Book

The Ellon Editors Team have felt that we write up a book and call this Ellon Through Our Eyes (E.T.O.E.) as a project for our 20th Anniversary to celebrate of many years at the centre. We're getting help from an artist/photographer called Colin Tennant linking in with Life Through A Lens. It's helping the community on barriers and things we like about Ellon and know about Ellon.

Buchan Community Radio

This is Buchan Community Radio, who we visited last Thursday, 15th March for part of the Community News issue 49 magazine.

Life Thru A Lens: Photographer/Artist, Colin Tennant

I am 29 years old and live in Glasgow. I will be working in Ellon on the "Life Thru A Lens" project along with Mark Mitchell and Nicola Twine. Mark's job title is a community planning officer and Nicola's job title is community learning and development officer. Colin Tennant came for an interview for this project and two members were on the interview panel. I am very much looking forward to working with the different community groups in Ellon. I am also looking forward to helping the Ellon Editors develop their photography skills. Addressing barriers that individuals may face in their community.

About me

I enjoy being at the resource centre because I have left school. I am a whizz at I.T. because I am a fast typist. I like using publisher and I like using the internet. I am interested in Formula 1 cars. My favourite racing drivers are Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), Michael Schumacher (Ferrari).

I do various activities e.g. swimming, cycling, horse riding on Thursday evening at Tweeddale, near Inverurie, dancing on Friday or Saturday night (depending if there is a party or disco taking place), etc.
