The Intimate Landscape
The intimate landscape maybe that place in landscape photography where we can justly claim our medium is a form of visual poetry. more
Eadweard Muybridge and the River of Shadows
This issue we have another instalment in our Lockdown book club, although I suppose we have to come up with a new name for it as we’re mostly out of lockdown now. Anyways, this issue David Ward and I will be looking at a book about the life and era of American photographer, Edweard Muybridge by Rebecca Solnit. more

To achieve lofty goals - or even modest ones - in wilderness preservation, we need time. The next generation will surely be critical in these efforts (and I hope highly critical of our own efforts!). All wilderness preservation comes down to two of the rarest human virtues: humility and restraint. more

Shooting in the Dark
Do we need to reconsider our approach to photographing the landscape? I think we do. If the quest for true answers will limit our freedom to roam the world in the pursuit of creativeness and adventure, are we willing to take the consequences? more

That process of finding a composition that works for me can be quite meditative. Mostly different from what I've felt while practising sitting meditation, but in some ways similar. more
