I went to Sherwood Forest over the weekend in order to photograph the Major Oak, a 1,250 year old oak tree, and supposedly where Robin Hood and his band of merry men used to hide out. This is a photograph of me using the very scientific method of measuring the age of a tree by hugging it… each hug, about 1.5 metres, equals approximately 75 years.

Click the link to see where I got the idea for this from…
I am a third year Photographic Arts student at the University of Westminster and as my final project I am attempting to build a carbon neutral pinhole camera as possible, that will hopefully produce a photograph that is also as carbon neutral as I can. Inspired by the environment, for the environment. This blog will be my outlet for documenting the progress of this task and will include step by step photographs as the camera is built, thoughts about how the project is progressing, any writings or influences emerging from my research and of course the resulting camera/photographs produced. Due to this blog being a digital medium I will also be keeping track of my carbon footprint. I am also looking to colaborate with designers/artists/scientists/engineers in order to complete this project so if you are interested or just want to offer advice/support/any general comments then please get in touch!
