Inside the High Sierra
I’ve been photographing in the High Sierra for 35 years and I feel the body of work is significant. I haven’t changed the way I work over that timeframe. more
Seasons
It can often seem like one season blurs into another. The individual distinctness of each one has, over the years, fallen away. more
The Intimate Panorama
In landscapes with a horizon, a 6:17 view provides a broad sweep of a rather natural scan by the eye of the viewer, but it is not evident that this will also be suitable for landscape details. more
An Interview with Gregor Radonjič
Originally I was just interested in purchasing Gregor's photo book 'Drevesa' (Trees) because I enjoyed his work and it's also my favourite topic. This first contact has since turned into an enjoyable email conversation on photography, more
End Frame: Rydal Water by Paul Sanders
His image of Rydal Water is packed with exquisite imagery and a myriad of emotions. more
Endframe: Hoarusib River Bed by David Ward
It was 2017, for months and months I had seen the occasional “elephant passing through our camp” snapshot. But there had been no sign of any of David Ward’s heart stopping, beautiful, keep you looking over and over again pictures. Then this appeared. Perhaps cool water to a parched throat, but pwhooar! I am not even sure if it is the first one he posted after a couple of years during which he left both camera and social media pretty much more
Potsherding
‘Potsherding’—that is, methodically plodding the newly ploughed sweetcorn fields of southeastern Massachusetts looking for indigenous people’s artefacts in the fresh furrows. more
Endframe: Full Moon over Mayo by Paul Kenny
At Ballinglen, he had easy access to the coast and the sea and Full Moon over Mayo is one of the very first of his Seaworks series that was eventually published as the book Seaworks 1998-2013 published by Triplekite Publishing in 2014. more
End frame: Secluded by Ben Horne
I have a tendency towards that slippery slope of becoming disillusioned through comparison, so one photographer whose work I find immensely inspiring and refreshing is Ben Horne. more
End frame: Headland by Jackie Ranken
There is movement here as well, lovely shallow curves of the headland that might continue up and around to the top left. Where are they taking us? Another beach, more sandy shore, water, or not? more
Interpreting the Found Abstract
So what is it about those abstracts as landscapes that are so appealing, and how might that meaning be interpreted? more
End frame: South Stack Lighthouse, Holy Island, Anglesey 1978, Denis Thorpe
Still photographing in his late eighties from his home in Stockport, England, Denis Thorpe’s landscape images demonstrate the power that derives from locating them within the context of a broad range of other photographic genres. more
Sacred Forests
There’s a special place in the heart of Italy, right between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna regions. Far from the iconic places in the country like the Dolomites, Val d’ Orcia, Cinque Terre and so on, but full of great natural views and photographic inspirations. In these forests, I spent my last four years trying to catch their soul and putting myself in front of a blank white page. more
End Frame: Crossed Aspens and Sapling, near Ashcroft, Colorado By John Sexton
‘Desert Island Discs’ is a long running BBC Radio 4 series that was first broadcast on what was then the BBC Forces Programme on the 29th January 1942, with its first guest being Vic Oliver, actor and radio comedian. The format of the show for those who aren’t familiar with British radio is that people who have made a name for themselves in whatever field, (I hesitate to use the word ‘celebrity) are invited to imagine that they have more
End frame: Submergence by Joe Cornish
I have spent so many hours photographing abstracts on the English coast and the print of Submergence evokes many memories. more
