...when the time comes, you open it and start reading again. Thus, the magic is always present and only waits to be revealed whenever there comes a proper time. I am not a whole-time dedicated photographer. Photography is just a passion which brings me joy and relief. Whenever I have the opportunity to go out into the mountains, or just...

...on Apollo 8 instead of rigorously-trained astronauts. He felt that the three of them perhaps didn’t do justice to conveying the grandeur of what they had seen to their receptive compatriots who were now so very far away. As they say, when you press the pause button on a machine, it stops. But when you press the pause button on...

Now photographers are in the enviable position of being able to enjoy an instant review of their image at a size that approximates to my old Polaroids.

...a ‘silveriness’ to the landscape that I thought was just magical. It’s surprising that I didn’t immediately take up black and white photography right there and then. It’s taken about twenty-five years but I’m finally coming round to the idea. The second epiphany came on a family trip to the Lake District. I had my first camera at this point...

...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.
