...less orderly than it used to be. I’m happiest creating / making / exploring. Finding out what’s round the next ‘corner’. I like seeing interesting work on social media, but comparisons are unhelpful. I’ve come to realise that you can’t force things.

...to photographic fashions. The images were often beautiful but seldom pretty. Even when the conditions were dramatic the photographs weren’t bombastic, unlike the predominant over-filtered style of the period, a style borrowed from advertising photography.
