Welcome back after a long Christmas break. We’ve mostly had a DIY Christmas and New Year where we’re building a shed in our garden for a woodwork workshop and climbing wall. Once this is complete, we’ll be able to clear space in our first office/shed which will allow us to use it for photography-related activities. The main goals of this are to build our darkroom for developing and also for alternative printing. Furthermore, we’ll have a nice space to record video/audio content in for On Landscape.
The darkroom facility is the area I’m most excited about though, especially since I had a few days out with the large format camera before Christmas and I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Being able to use film as an option, not a necessity, allows you to make the most of its idiosyncrasies and avoid its pitfalls.
Finally, we’ve noticed that the speed of the website has suffered a bit recently and also the mobile theme needs some work and we’ll be looking at this over the next month. It’s heartening that despite having a few problems, we continue to get overwhelmingly positive feedback for On Landscape so I’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone who subscribes and helps us keep the magazine alive and thriving in some turbulent times.

End frame: The Dysfunctional Family by Simon Baxter
One of the photographers I follow on YouTube, stands out for his woodland photography; Simon Baxter. Being able to watch Simon discovering, composing and making his images, provides an invaluable insight into his thinking and I hope plants creative seeds in my photographic mind. more

Motoko Sato
My work is not a loud voice that reaches a lot of people, but a small whispering work that snuggles them one by one. I think that a delicate and small voice is just right for delivering peace with the voice of nature. more
