The sands of time are rapidly exhausting themselves and new deadlines loom large on the horizon. Following a full-on week topped by Andreas Schmidt honouring us with a guest lecture I am now looking at final edits and print preparation. Throw in an interim show to hang in April plus prepping 90 8’x4′ boards for […]
Self Published Books – Edgelands
I have used Blurb several times now to create books and the products are very good indeed. Every time I make one though I know I can make it better. I suppose it is just like making the photographs in the first place, one has to do it to the point unconscious competence. Edgelands by […]
High Tension Shoot
I have never been keen on high tension power lines draping over built up areas and there has been quite a number of reports over the years regarding the affect they have on the poor souls domiciled beneath them. Well, today I got a taster of what it is like. After 22 days of fruitless […]
Quiet January – so far
Blogging has been low on my agenda these past 16 days. To be honest, I was utterly exhausted by the time Christmas arrived what with all the planned and unplanned events during December but also to do with a full on first semester of my final year at UCS. Something had to give and I […]

Strange week
The past week has been full on and utterly exhausting. What with hanging the Trafalgar show at Prettys and the scary incident of a 24 year old fellow student working on the hang suffering a stroke, fitting in a 6 hour shooting day for Edgelands, researching for degree project and dissertation I feel wrung out. […]
More edgelands photographs
My degree project continues. These are some more emerging content for my edit on being just outside or in-between AONBs The fly-tipping is an interesting one in that I was on the team that introduced Landfill Tax. My role as Business Analyst on that project saw beyond the revenue take and green aspirations at the […]
Swansong
Photographing on the edges for my degree project discovers hidden gems in this fine county of Suffolk. This picture just off the Strand outside the AONB by the width of a road was a surprise find.
Medium format Bronica SQAi
I do not use this camera as often as I should. The results in this post speak volumes for both Kodak Portra 400 and the stunningly sharp lenses. The 50mm wide angle is about as sharp as it gets. These two images shot on Portra 400 look so different to the large format images […]
