I am a member of the Freudian Sheep artist group in Ipswich. Ian Moss and Eleanor May run this delightful establishment in St Helens Street, Ipswich. Each month there is a fresh exhibition of work in the gallery with open views taking place on the Saturday. We are quite an eclectic group and a […]
Edgelands – Goldfinch
Reading The Unofficial Countryside and Edgelands there was a constant undercurrent of the wildlife observed . Something I did an awful lot of during my pre-degree photography era was wildlife photography. I am no bird watcher or twitcher, I just like to photograph what I see. Last night whilst re-visiting some of my Edgelands sites […]
Edgelands – cone
And here is another comparison. I am fascinated by the differences but I still prefer the look and feel of the original 6×6 format on Kodak Portra 400. The majority of my Landscape type images are made during the Winter months. Subtleties such as camera height also play a part. The original was shot with […]
Edgelands revisited – July 2014
I stopped shooting my project at the end of March. In the intervening months I have been preoccupied with delivering my degree portfolio and putting on two shows. Top that with trying to get my body back into a fit enough state to work and I’ve found that 3 and a half months have flown […]
Unlocked
December 2013 has been a strange month for me with three exhibition hangs to curate, a dissertation draft to submit and degree project images to make. All this without the added drama of other incidents. Good to see Alex getting better though. I cannot begin to understand how he feels but given the stuffing it […]

I have never been a fan of ‘The Mill’ on Ipswich Waterfront. It has proved to be useful as a photographic subject but the building sits uneasily in its surroundings and add to that the fact that it is unoccupied it is hardly a real asset for Ipswich. I was surprised to see on-line footage […]
AONB Brantham revisted
The lull in the weather saw me up well before dawn with a boot full of large format film, Ektar, Portra, HP5+, FP4+ and a gaggle of cameras. Anyway some results from a busy day. This HP5+ was rated at ISO 320 and tray developed in ID11. I’ll revisit the MOD54 and try again as […]
Agile Business Conference Day 1 2013
Stephen Carver opened the conference with an entertaining introductory session that really told that agile ways of working and more importantly behaving, have been with us for many years.
Maggi takes the air
I had the pleasure tonight of shooting Maggi Hambling as she took a break from the hullabaloo of the East Contemporary Art VIP night to get some fresh air. I rather like the way her accessories are complimented by the festoon lights around the marina.
Adrian Duffy & the Mayo Brothers video shoot
Long day shooting stills for Adrian Duffy & The Mayo Brothers new video today. Got very James Bondish at one point.
