I am all fired up at present. It is 5 months until we open a biennial exhibition. I meet up from time to time with other itinerant photographers and we show our work in a public exhibition and it is all go at present preparing advertising material. Talking of exhibitions, I have struggled to get […]
The final edition and a three legged refugee dog
With yet more grim light today, I was glad I had agreed to meet up with a couple of other ‘togs at the gallery we are to exhibit in next July. Robin who runs the gallery and framing workshop also keeps a three legged refugee dog from the former Yugoslavia. As luck would have it, […]
Antics on the Ant and suffering from the wind
I have been away. I knew my batteries were run down prior to this return visit to Norfolk in pursuit of both a busman’s holiday and getting away from it all. Mrs O had been concerned with me burning the candle at both ends before we went up to these foreign parts and I had […]
All in apple pie order
Life has been hectic lately. I had huge amounts of other work going on in the background to do with a major re-branding of an organisation I am a director of that coincided with an international Agile Business Conference.

Hard to remember
Just looking back for some other images today and it seems hard to remember that this was just over 12 months ago!
Backlight testing
A few tweaks still taking place but getting there. Some rearrangement will take place as the new site beds down.
Bill Brandt’s words of wisdom as pertinent today as when he uttered them

Light is everything
In this game, light is all. In natural surroundings the only way to capture it is to be out there when it happens. Studio work can be quite attractive at times especially when conditions outside are grim but when the subject is outside then it is a question of grin and bear it. The last […]
Today I saw a railway van
This morning dawned cold and foggy in North Yorkshire. Mrs O was off to Skipton to revel in yarns and I was going north on to the fells for some autumnal photography. Both film and digital cameras were packed along with the obligatory Fat Rascal – an essential for any foray to the fells. Alas, […]
