The Fröttmaninger Heide
There is a constant dialogue between nature and humanity, a constant shift between two worlds that are separated yet together in an odd way. more
In Celebration of Projects
The mandatary ‘lockdown’ of March/April 2020 enabled me to look again very much closer to home but this time venturing in a different geographical direction, one that followed sandy narrow trails, quite at odds with the rocky greater forest around them. more
Why Photography is Important
I knew that taking photographs was going to be my route to introducing some sort of balance into my life. Given that I didn't have a Plan B this was a bit of a relief. more
Back to the Future
The more I looked into dry plate, the more appealing it became. Load under safelight, no need for complete darkness, last like film so you can leave them for weeks in the darkslides before use, develop by inspection under safelight....what's not to like? more

The emotional and psychological uplifting, the mental elevation you will feel when you find that true connection with your subject is far superior to the ephemeral appraisal of a well-constructed image that will be forgotten in the oblivion most photographers live in today. more
Close to home
I live in a place where the scenery makes it almost impossible to take a bad photograph and so, I finally did some stern self-admonishing and made a deliberate effort to try and see the village differently and shoot nearer home. more
One day ~ Time in landscape photography
That morning provided me with over two hours of snap shooting interrupted by some instances of contemplation. As a result, a series of 15 photos taken in a silence only broken by the stir of a distant breeze. more
Photo Book Making
A handmade book can be a beautiful and tangible embodiment of the passion, love and enthusiasm we have for our landscapes and how we choose to present them more
