It’s probably fair to say that, photographically, April was something of a slender month. The loss of my walking buddy at the end of March obviously plays a significant role in that, but also that I started a new job. The new job had, shall we say, interesting hours. They tended to lean more heavily … Read more The Slender Month of April (A Review)
This update was mainly written before the end of March when Maisie passed away, and this has changed things greatly. Rather than discard this update, I’ve decided to post it, albeit edited and somewhat out of sequence now, because it focuses mainly on the enormous photography differential between February and March. The earliest months of … Read more February & March Update
Squeezed in on the last day… Photography First What an unexpected start! Whereas the lead up to Christmas saw me struggle photographically with the transition from Autumn to Winter, the New Year has really started very well. There are reasons, of course, and firing up my new p365 project has definitely been key. I think … Read more January in the Can
Bits fall off cars. It happens all the time; mostly nuts and bolts and bits of trim. Some of these things I happen upon, as I’m walking the dog. If, like me, you’ve suffered punctures at unfortunate times or in difficult places, you might understand how I developed the compunction to pick up anything that … Read more Found in the Street – LIVE
The Lockdown 20 project is a subset of personal images from a very limited number of overall images shot during the lockdowns and interludes in the year 2020. These 20 images exist, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of our society’s response to Covid-19 and, were it not for Covid-19, would never have been taken.
While reviewing 2021 recently for this blog, I noted a glaring hole in site updates spanning all of 2020. Fifteen silent months, in fact, from August 2019 through January 2021. The elephant in the room is obviously Coronavirus, which consumed society for most of 2020, but this doesn’t entirely explain the silence on this blog. … Read more The Lost Years
The new year is upon us so it’s time to take stock by looking back at the last twelve months. Favourites From 2021 I think almost all of my favourite photos from this year have been posted on this blog already, in previous posts. I’ve been more committed over the last 12 months to my … Read more Twenty One: A Review
*UPDATE* Project ended early (197/365 days) Read the details here. p365-2022: Take a photo every day for a year and share it. It’s twelve years since I last did a “p365”. On the first of January 2022, I began shooting a new 365 project. The rules for the project are as follows: a) Images must … Read more Photography Project: p365-2022
Autumn, my favourite season, is all but over. With the recent winds of Storm Arwen, most of the stunningly colourful leaves were forcefully removed from the branches and the descent into Winter began. Although Winter doesn’t officially begin until the winter solstice (December 21st), I think most people perceive the end of the visible signs … Read more Winter Is Coming
I have been a heavy consumer of Youtube photography channels for some time, but during October, rather than the typical gear, composition and location reviews/tutorials, I began to focus more on exploring the philosophies of photography. As a consequence, I’ve spent most of my spare time in the last month learning an inordinate amount about … Read more Review and Update (Oct-Nov)
