Notes and photographs on Travel
Recently I’ve been very fortunate to do some travelling, which as I’m sure you can imagine has resulted in a huge amount of photographs, all of which need processing. It’s been nice on these colder days to wrap up warm and relive my trips through images. Every time we go on a trip we do…

TRIVIAL MATTER
Making time for personal projects is always tricky – when things are busy it’s hard to find the time, and sometimes there’s just a bit of an ebb and flow in creativity. So instead of working on a specific project for a set period my approach more recently has been to have several things just…

It rained a lot, I remember thinking April showers had been postponed. I put yellow flowers in jars around the house and mistakenly called them marigolds when I…

Notes on a photograph: A broken cup
A while ago I shared a short project I’d done, photographing the cups and mugs I use for my quite particular tea and coffee drinking habits. This photograph is a follow up to that but also probably an insight into why I photograph ‘the everyday’ quite so much: these things mean something to me but they don’t…

Notes on equipment: Fixing the light leak in my Mamiya RB67
