When Paul Reichle came to the department he brought his friend Gareth Bright along.
Gareth was a student at the Photography Department in 2007, but left the department after his first year. I asked GB to introduce himself to the class and after Paul's presentation he spoke briefly of his Photographic practices. The presentation was short (due to time) but significant and formed part of vital conversations we had already been having with Paul. We spoke of connecting through the internet, networking and using platforms like Facebook and Blogger as ways to announce ourselves to the world and to the leave our personal 'thumbprints' in cyberspace (thanks again Lisa Ndlovu for this beautiful metaphor). Both Paul and Gareth stressed the importance for all photographers to use these FREE tools to market themselves and their works. Gareth himself spoke of how he was 'found' by France Agency Press on Facebook and Paul's presentation was focused on being 'pro-active' and 'creating good relationships with others, using Facebook, to open doors'. Paul has a web page and uses his Facebook page as a way to showcase his works and network.
