Endframe: Gondola, Venice by Charlie Waite
I'm grateful it inspired me to think differently about all aspects of my work. At first sight I enjoyed its simplicity and then an analytical study revealed just how carefully the image had been considered. more

Endframe: “Nianån Creek in winter” by Hans Strand
It took me quite a while to decide which image I would like to write about in the End Frame, as there are so many images that influenced me in a significant way, and even more that are a pleasure to look at. more

Endframe: “Reflect on Autumn” by Mark Lakeman
Working my way across the country, from Dartmoor to Yorkshire hosting the Canon GPS Days with Tim, I would have given anything to substitute the damp and grey for a few seconds of a golden viewfinder, especially in the New Forest where the colours were exceptional. more

Endframe: “Evening on Charles Bridge” by Josef Sudek
I can think of many images I love and many photographers I admire, however the more I think the more my mind keeps returning to two names. more

Endframe: Bogna Patrycja Altman
Personally I’m first stirred by the composition, the central positioning of the tree immediately arrests my attention. I cannot be pulled away, as the subtle but assertive diagonal lines keeps pulling me back more

Endframe: “Bridal Veil” by Charlotte Gibb
What immediately struck me about this image was its faithfulness to the intimacy and essence of the name of the elegant Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park. more

Endframe: “Infinite Funnels” by Guy Tal
Over the years Guy has been someone whose images and words have constantly moved me. There’s been a connection that I really haven’t found as strong elsewhere. more

Endframe “Martinique, 1 January 1972” by Kertesz
My end frame image is a photograph that for me goes some way to represent the many facets of our plight for artistic development and indeed our struggles to be creatively free. more

Endframe – “Evening Tidal Pool“ by David Muench
One image in particular that had a big influence on me was “Evening Tidal Pool“ by David Muench. more

Endframe – Granite and seeps, Tasmania by Chris Bell
I have to redefine favorite, and can present to you the most influential photograph I have encountered recently. more

Endframe – “Wiltshire, October” by Barry Thornton
There are a number of images that represent key moments in my own photographic development. more

Endframe – ‘Stravinsky at the Piano’ by Arnold Newman
Choosing an image for End Frame is a daunting and nigh on impossible undertaking. more

Endframe – “The Markerstone: Harlech to London Road” by Fay Godwin
Fay Godwin (17 February 1931 – 27 May 2005) The Markerstone: Harlech to London Road. Wales 1974 I don’t think I can say I have one all time favourite photograph. I have so many for different reasons and moods. But when faced with such a question to consider your ‘favourite’ photograph from another photographer, my initial recollection were not of what I expected; I suppose upon receiving the question I was reminded of the landscape greats, Adams, Western, Porter, and more

Endframe – “Yellow Sea, Cheju, 1992” by Hiroshi Sugimoto
I have not given much thought to horizon lines for a long time. Indeed, I have not given much thought to straight lines in general for a long time. Living in the heart of the Lakeland fells as we do, or did, straight lines do not feature in the landscape very much and where they do occur they seem an unwelcome intrusion on our sensibilities; inevitably man made and symbolic of our disregard, even fear, of nature’s organic more

Endframe – “Iberia Quarries #3” by Edward Burtynsky
Once Upon a Time, before the internet and Amazon, there were bookshops that specialised in Photo books, and the best of these was Beyond Words in Edinburgh. Neil McIlwraith still runs Beyond Words as an excellent online service; nevertheless, it is hard not to feel a sense of loss for the sheer indulgent pleasure of browsing in a place devoted to the photographic image. On my last visit to (the analogue?) Beyond Words I acquired Edward Burtynsky’s book, more
