I agonised over what to post for this final image but finally settled on the Rural Idyll image. This was made at sunrise in June 2013 near Waldringfield. I had spotted this contraption during a winter’s drive when I decided to take a different route home from Woodbridge. After that I could not remember where […]
Black and White challenge – day 4
I have been entangled in the judiciary system now for nearly two weeks. I am not a willing participant, I am merely doing my duty. I have a background that exposed me to legal process from a very early age yet I am finding it difficult at times to grasp the rationale of the practices […]
Black and White challenge – day 3
This image was made outside a healthcare centre in Ipswich. It is where the healthcare workers go for a breath of fresh air in between dealing with people with all manner of illnesses brought about by genetics or lifestyle or just plain bad luck. Always nice to know the righteous have their vices.

A taste for heights
In a recent meeting with partners discussing a forthcoming exhibition I showed a few test prints from my series Edgelands. These were 1×1.25m inkjet prints and I pointed out that the camera was about eight feet off the ground for these images. I often shoot my large format images of landscape features this way but […]

The Edgelands book was made specifically for this competition from my degree project series. It includes medium and large format images. An earlier publication I made for the Ipswich and […]
Contemporary Times
This week, today in fact, is the end of an era. My access card to the UCS campus ceases to be valid after midnight. Times have moved on however. As a part of my re-integration into non-academic life I joined the Contemporary group of the RPS. Their ethos for image making sits comfortably with me […]
Biblical weather affects graduation ceremony. Photographers in the dark (and dry)
Yesterday was Trafalgar Day, Mrs O’s birthday, dry rot discovery day (historical) and graduation day for the 2011 intake to UCS. I opted out of the ceremony, it is not my thing and means little to me in terms of the experience of being at university. Mrs O was at work anyway and it was […]
