It's focused on individual communities such as villages or districts with their own unique identity. It's packed full of features, including information about local business and community resources such as Libraries, Museums, Bus services, Sporting facilities, Clubs and Societies with links to their Websites or offering an on-line presence for those who aren't on the web.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So on the 12th September at the George Hotel in Henfield,I found myself playing an active part for Village Networking in capturing this special occasion, the 2nd Birthday, by creating a few images brought home to me the scale of Jo's achievement in just two years of undoubted hard work. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> A special cake was made for the event by Sharon Walker, from the Southwater group, beautifully iced and decorated with the Village Networking Logo. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Where it began with just one group in Henfield it has since grown into five with Storrington, Southwater, Lindfield, Rustington. All of which were represented by at least one regular member from each group, including the two other leaders, Rachael Burgess of "Lifestyle Sussex" who heads the Storrington group and soon to be established Billingshurst group, and Natalie Stafferton of "Utility Warehouse" who heads the Lindfield group. The new group at Rustington would be launched the next day by Dawn Wiseman, with a small business event styled as "Posh Market". Unfortunately Dawn was unable to attend because of her commitment to the launch of this new group.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">It was felt that cost had to be balanced with service. As an example, where Waitrose came out as providing excellent customer centred service and products, and had already made a significant contribution to the community in only a short time. Other business which had been around considerably longer were felt to be wanting of community involvement, or in valuing their customers. </span></span><br />

What is remarkable about Val? You could be forgiven for thinking that there are lots of ladies making very good jams and everyone knows that the WI is founded on the talents of an army of wonderful ladies who have a passion for such provenance. </span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well a number of things that I know of already make her stand out from the rest, and I've only met her a few times. Val makes a very impressive range of Marmalades, Jams and Chutneys which certainly stand out from any you'll find on supermarket shelves. Some of which are long forgotten recipes revived by her skill and knowledge, others are straight off the top of her head and will blow you away, like the seriously fiendish Chutney that Shaun, her able assistant can't get enough of. </span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Whilst her husband manages the marketing and accounts, Val runs production and product research and development.</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The other remarkable thing is Val's ethics and principals which she applies to a business which now exports around the world to the Middle East and Australia. In fact, whilst I was there she was producing an order for shipment to Western Australia.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I began by photographing some 40 works in the studio first as objects, then selecting 10, I lit and composed them as I would a portrait of a living person. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After this process had been accomplished I reduced my selection to those which I felt had the most tangible of identities, two were inspired by Francis Bacon and one by </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">the Op-Artist</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bridget Riley.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yEjsPIviWEw/TdDdrkkcaqI/AAAAAAAAAQA/HC7b13JDlLM/s1600/Water+Wood+Form.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yEjsPIviWEw/TdDdrkkcaqI/AAAAAAAAAQA/HC7b13JDlLM/s1600/Water+Wood+Form.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">These three pieces had quite different practical approaches to sculptural forms of deconstruction, construction and adaptation.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9qs2pMMWwQg/TdDdnq8t9RI/AAAAAAAAAP8/gaKLMuehDgw/s1600/The+platform+screamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9qs2pMMWwQg/TdDdnq8t9RI/AAAAAAAAAP8/gaKLMuehDgw/s1600/The+platform+screamed.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the final stage in the process to synthesise the nature of these pieces, I took away from the studio and photographed them as objects in the landscape, adding narration to their identity again as with a portrait for editorial or gallery.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2DlxMO3CXlU/TdDdtaq1cWI/AAAAAAAAAQE/b_BmaYcY7UU/s1600/We+sit+no+more+upon+this+chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2DlxMO3CXlU/TdDdtaq1cWI/AAAAAAAAAQE/b_BmaYcY7UU/s1600/We+sit+no+more+upon+this+chair.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was evident to me that the chairs had a life of their own, containing the personality of the student who conceived them, their interpretation of their chosen artist persona, and my own personality in the composition that came out of it all.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My taste for the dramatic and melancholic were informed by my knowledge and experiences of the two Artists about which the chairs were made, understood as having very distinct approaches, so far apart they were like a foreign language to each other yet equally as bold in their application. My compositions were informed by photographers who had portrayed those same artists in life such as Bill Brand and Arnold Newman.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The seminar drew some twenty-two MMA Sportsmen, ranging in age, from mid forties to late teens. Many of whom had little or no prior experience of Freestyle Wrestling, but all experienced and accomplished in at least one contact sport and a few with a range of experience from Boxing to Taekwon-do to Muay Thai. Amongst them, Russell Dennis who was one of the earliest founders of the Academy who serves as Chairman of the ITF Discipline and Ethics committee and a Professional MMA fighter in his own right.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After brief introductions, Dani, a former Romanian Freestyle Wrestling Champion and BWA Wrestling Coach got straight down to business after a intro and a short wrestling video he set the group off on a 45 minute warm up circuit with a range of movements exercises before progress on to the Free style Wrestling holds and 'Take downs' that are part of the genre's repertoire of skills with the whole group fully engaged from start to finish of the 3 and half hour seminar. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Feed back at the end was very positive and everyone was still smiling, which cant be a bad thing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQgQDTCSB-Y/TU7RUFYDpII/AAAAAAAAAHw/Wee-Qa988To/s1600/_AFH6918.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQgQDTCSB-Y/TU7RUFYDpII/AAAAAAAAAHw/Wee-Qa988To/s640/_AFH6918.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was a completely new experience for me as a photographer and if I was to take one thing away from it, that would undoubtedly be how impressed I was with the positive attitude of everyone I spoke to. Of course, now that I have sat down with the images I captured, I have a better idea about what works and what doesn't with the conclusion that I would go for a different lens next time and use a different flash technique for this type of action.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have developed an enthusiasm to learn more about the sport, and the people involved in it. As Dani informs me, MMA is growing and gaining a lot of support with new venues opening across the country all the time, this was a view shared by others and I am sure they are right.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although it had been some months in the making, everything was set back by delays in delivery of the car, and so a few opportunities had been missed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With the final arrival of the Jaguar came the snow and so the shoot got pushed back to the last possible moment.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The shoot took place at a discrete location in Sussex, and though it took a little while to organise and there was a pretty loose brief I managed to get the images the client required.</span><br />

<br />
With only 27 days to go before the opening of the exhibition, things are beginning to fall into place, at long last.<br />
<br />
We have posters and invitations being printed as I write, and I have received the first proof print of the 10 Limited edition Giclee prints I will be exhibiting.<br />
<br />
Here is a sneak preview... </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
A significant percentage of the profits from each print sold will be donated to the White Horse Hotel's chosen local charity, Alexandra Bastedo's "ABC Animal Sanctuary" in nearby West Chiltington. http://www.abcanimalsanctuary.co.uk/</span><br />

<br />
The project has opened new possibilities and introduced me to new ideas for my Photomontage images.<br />
<br />
Some things I rediscovered and some discovered anew, where so called "White" horses are recorded in myth and folklore. <br />
<br />
The biblical reference to Death's mount the "Pale Horse" of the Apocalypse and 'St George" by tradition, rides a white horse. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The ancient celtic myths of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the magical fairy horse of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tír na nÓg and creatures such as Pegasus and Unicorns. In Norse mythology I discovered Odin's grey horse "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 30px;">Sleipnir</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">" and her daughter "Grani" , the mount of the hero of the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Völsunga</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">saga "Sigurd". All of which were imported and absorbed into folklore. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Inspiration for the classical romanticism of the White charger typified by John Maler Collier's "Lady Godiva". </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In symbolism, such horses are seen as creatures of fidelity, power and purity, such as the county of Kent's rearing white horse and the far more ancient Uffington white horse, whose story is now lost.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
We may never have had the kind of cultural relationship with horses in the same sense as some other more famous ancient societies such as the Mongolians. Giving</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> up the magical and spiritual association with these animals for the more material values of their labour.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Like many countries, we invested in the power of horses </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">up until the early part of the 20th century, when we were deeply dependent upon</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> working them for agriculture, industry and transport.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There remains a rich association with horses on a sporting and social level, where horses are kept more out of a passion and so a source of expense than a source of revenue.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The series has evolved to interpretate these ideas and associations in fresh visual allegories.</span><br />

Both animals are symbols of fidelity and loyalty which as concepts are the sole tokens of men. There is a pool of dark water in which a reflection of a female form gazes downwards self absorbed, her corporeal form invisible and only suggested in the image as presence of the past. The narrative is illusion, this is not a natural scene but is man made, the freedom of horses to roam by any human intent is never as unfettered as it may appear, wild ponies are counted and culled and therefore controlled. The nymph in the pool is a trick of the light of romantic imagination. The pool is a drain to take away excess water from the </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">pine plantation, a commercial </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"> crop of wood.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><br />
