Project Description
One Year is a project through which the artist intends to construct a daily photographic record of a single view: the view from his study window at around 8.00a.m. each day when he sits down to work. One Year will annotate each picture with a note of the weather for that morning and the morning’s main news headline from the BBC News site. In addition, there will be a note taking a key sentence or two from the artist’s daily journal.

Mr Seal,
Brilliant!
The mid-week pics made me laugh so much!!! Thanks for that; it was much appreciated and unexpected.
If at some random time you could put a picture of the Beluga into the frame…
David
Who do I speak to in order to ask them to change the flight path a bit? It’s always slightly out of shot when it goes over. I’d like it a little nearer 8.00am too!
I’ll send you a pic to put in the window if that doesn’t undermine the integrity of your project.
But it may set an alarming precedent to your other “readers” to adapt your view to their desires.
Could the Birkenhead grafitti have said Polaris (the ballistic missile system) not Polars as I can vaguely remember something like that on a wall.
David
Yes, I’m sure the graffito was meant to say ‘Polaris’ – hence the ‘I lost’ word play! I was a child at the time and only had a vague idea of what it was all about.
The midweek photos made me laugh, too. Lovely work.
The pressure is now on to come up with something equally entertaining the next time I go away!
Or, worse still, not to ho away any more.
Or go away, even.
