This is the link to my book that you can preview on-line http://www.photobox.co.uk/creation/2678167792 I would be over the moon if some of you bought it but I would not advise buying from this site as production quality cannot be guaranteed. Please note that the actual printed copy has razor sharp images. The rendering of the […]
Sunshine esserts
People of a certain age might remember Leonard Rossiter in ‘The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin’. This image reminded me of those episodes and seemed to fit in with a dilemma I currently find myself in. In those episodes there was always a sketch in CJ’s office where the delivery of management speak was […]
BA (Hons) Photography – a reflection by a mature (in years) student
Recently I was asked to write about my experiences as an older student studying for a photography degree. As regulars of this blog will know, I commented freely on the subject whilst I was a student. Since becoming a graduand, I officially graduate next Tuesday – 21st – Mrs O’s birthday, dry rot day, Trafalgar […]
RPS Book Exhibition 2014 – Edgelands shortlisted
Making photo books was a big thing at university. Tutors were pushing all the time for books to be made and several were. I ventured into the realms of a handmade, albeit bound by a proper book binder, book at considerable cost but with individually hinged pages, pages that I had printed myself. I also […]
Autumn. I think it is here
It seems like aeons ago that we were in Harrogate, but it is only a week since we got back. An elongated summer has helped the paint dry quickly this week and my mind is turning towards re-starting the Edgelands shoot. Just a few too many leaves on the trees at present for my […]
Yorkshireman made environment

I studied the aspects of our intervention and shaping of the landscape for my degree but on a short trip up to North Yorkshire to the spawning grounds of the great industrial […]
Ribblehead viaduct, and a Fat Rascal = a Grand day Out
It has been a long time. As a child I took it for granted that days out or ‘a run in the car’ were the norm and visits to the Lakes, the Trough of Bowland and the Yorkshire moors were commonplace along with egg and cress sandwiches, soggy tomato and sliced tinned ham sandwiches and […]
Monument?
Over the long weekend in Harrogate, I took off to explore the Valley Gardens and the thick woodland towards the upper reaches of this jewel of a green lung right in the middle of the town. Mrs O was not at her best and had decided to stay indoors knitting. She does not like scary […]
Swaledale views
One of the joys for me yesterday was dropping off Mrs O at Skipton to peruse the yarns and other paraphernalia at YarnDale whilst I took off to drive up to Buttertubs and back via Askrigg. Plenty of 120 was shot but those latent images are still to be developed. I had the D3S with […]
I had forgotten…….
I had forgotten How beautiful North Yorkshire is at this time of year How much I like Fat Rascals and Curd Tarts and Mrs O does not How dysfunctional the service can be at Bettys (Harrogate) How the service can be at Bettys when done properly as on Sunday night How the Pump Street bakery […]
