41 places
On Thursday evening I had the pleasure of attending a book reading at Waterstones by William Shaw, and others, mainly from the book 41 places: 41 stories written to accompany the 41 places installation during the festival.
In May I had just got my new camera, and needed an assignment. The assignment I gave myself was to shoot every one of the 41 places. This I managed, and duly added my photos to the flickr group.
During the process I met and exchanged emails with William Shaw and so I was delighted when he asked to show some of my photos as a slideshow during Thursday's event. They were displayed, amongst others including some of the installation process, for quite some time. This is the first time I've seen any of my photographs projected during an event. All in all rather pleasing.

41 Places - All found
Today I completed my mission to find and photograph all 41 of the 41 places.
I've spent 3 focussed sessions out looking, as well as spotting some whilst generally out and about. Today I had Richard's company and help, and he can be spotted in some of the photos from today.
I have enjoyed reading the stories in the locations in which they are set, and as an installation, for me at least, it has worked well combining story telling with a treasure hunt and giving me a challenge with my new camera.

41 places - 9 to go
Another accidental spot yesterday. I was heading into London for a Google Tech Talk and found myself at the station with time to spare so decided I'd hunt number 10.
I'm still hoping to head out at the weekend and hunt down the remaining 9.

41 Places - 10 to go
I wasn't even looking for any of the 41 places today, and yet there I was just wandering around and I stumbled across number 15.
I'm hoping to head out at the weekend and get some of the remaining 10. In the meantime, you can track my progress or take a look at what other people have found via the flickr 41places group.

41 places - Brighton Festival
I'd noticed a couple of people with photos of stories in the wild around Brighton (part of the 41 Places installation as it turns out). Yesterday I headed out armed with shiny new camera and downloaded map to see how many I could find.
I headed first for number 13, outside Churchill Square, and found that without difficulty. It wasn't all I found. As I stood there taking photos 2 guys wandered up and spoke to me, offering me a leaflet with the map on - I showed them my downloaded version, and took a copy of their slightly more weatherproof version - ink jet printer + rain = splodgy downloaded map :-(
As we stood talking I discovered that one of the guys was no other than William Shaw, the author. He mentioned that there was a flickr group for the installation, and in the absence of any other way to remember this I handed him one of my moo cards. He recognised my name, and so we chatted a bit more and realised that he is one of my Brighton Bloggers.
We moved on, and I headed off to find some more, and discovered that I was following them. I realised that I'd missed an opportunity and that I should have taken a photo of William with his artwork. Fortunately they stopped at number 12 to make sure I spotted it, and so I shot this photo.
All in all I managed to find 8 of the places yesterday, and I've put together a page charting my progress. I'm hoping to find some more at the weekend..

In my defense I'd like to say that I don't spend all my time hangning around hoping to find someone photographing the artwork... I'd just been to Borders for a meeting about stocking the book there.
But I still do get giddy with excitement when I see people reading them. For that reason, I love your 41 page.
