This month’s Brighton MiniClicks speaker Chris Floyd had to get a mention here for a really interesting talk and some great work. You can see loads more of his work on his website and blog (above). As a speaker he was entertaining and easy to listen to and it was really interesting to hear his perspective on his own work and just generally on being a working photographer. I’m not sure whether its reassuring or worrying that a guy who is clearing doing so well seems to share the same general self doubt/loathing that we all do, but I’m going to go for the former. He also talked about his reasons for getting in to photography (primarily to get over his shyness and have an excuse to meet interesting people and see interesting places) and the importance to him of this element of the process, which I would definitely identify with.

Also announced at the talk were a couple of interesting upcoming events, including a collaboration between miniclicks and the photobook show, which is due to be happening in London at some point. Not sure of the details as yet but there is some more info here.
