The North East

The North East and Yorkshire is where my landscape photography all started. It still holds a unique place in my vision and it is one of those environments where visiting it time after time means that you can, hopefully, make use of whatever light there happens to be

Somerset

Having grown up in Somerset I have to say that I have never really explored its photographic potential. However these images from Clevedon Pier do highligh some of the opportunites. The first set of images were taken with a Holga -for  a different point of view. The last was taken with a large format camera

Scotland

Of all the places I have been to, Scotland remains the most evocative of them all. The landscape is vast, rugged and uncompromising. Much like the weather! But it is this spectacular combination that makes it my favourite location – no place is ever the same twice in a row.

On holiday

A long holiday in the USA visiting wonderful friends and a cruise on Nina’s ship…to Columbia, Panama, Costa Rico, Grand Caymen and Mexico…not that the weather would have you believe it! I’ll admit that we didn’t move far off the ship but the Panama Canal was amazing! Oh and she learnt to walk!! The pictures are rather daughter centric (I know I know) but I think that’s because I was feeling rather lazy about the whole tourist thing: it was enough just to be and enjoy. We missed the snow in the UK, so the photographer part of me feels a little sad but hey that’s the way it goes! More images to follow soon…
