How to make the most of life has been weighing on my mind recently. Easily bored and impatient I am yearning to escape or discover a new adventure. I’ve been thinking what I would do if I had a year to live…asking others and overloading on motivational TED talks. It was when I stumbled across [...]

Image of the week… the faces we need to capture
11:58 16/05/2013Now and again there are faces we see, people we meet that seem irresistible to photograph. I often imagine I am choosing a subject to draw or paint them. It could be a stranger in the street with piercing blue eyes, a wrinkled gentleman reading on a train or a family member that has an [...]
Image of the week…strolls
23:24 09/05/2013Jim and I naively planned the Walks workshop in March expecting a fresh spring stroll around Brighton, we were however; greeted with snow, hail and wind. After minor hesitation we postponed and fortunately opted for what was to be a balmy weekend in April. The workshop is one I have ran before in Brighton [...]
Image of the week…a beautiful commission
00:17 01/05/2013March brought an exciting commission from Dove. After an initial phone call explaining a brief outline of the concept my brain jumped into helicopter mode and I began to think of how to execute it in a simple and reflective way. Beauty spot = In Western society it’s a rarity to find an individual who [...]
Image of the week…dreams
23:02 25/04/2013It sounds very eerie but now and again I try to recreate visions I have in my dreams. They are rarely literal reconstructions (as my memory is pretty shoddy). However, now and again I find myself half asleep scribbling the dissolving memories of a dream into the notepad beside my bed. This one (again from [...]
Image of the week..better late than never
00:26 20/04/2013Oooooo dear, this IS a late post…tsk tsk… however the excuse of being in Geneva with snail pace Internet is my saving grace. Barely viewing html gmail was a clear indicator that blog uploading would be a mission. So as the rules state find two images attached. These are from an assignment from The Sunday [...]
Image of the week… Snakes and Mirrors
15:18 11/04/2013I seem to often end up injuring my sister when we embark on adventures….never on purpose. We either end up getting locked into places, running from aggressive strangers or climbing over fences and breaking ankles and toes. It was for this reason that as we arrived at the nature reserve ; the look [...]
Image of the week…the lost hour/day
21:47 05/04/2013Am I allowed to blame the late post on the lost hour? Thursday whisked by so as the rules state I have posted more than one image. I managed to squeeze in a few scanning hours and stumbled across these images from a walk with Hin. We delved to the dangers of Ebsfleet. I [...]
Image of the week…staying close
00:37 29/03/2013Escaping can be a challenge in the winter months. Light is not only sparse but despite an early rise it seems to evaporate by midday. For this reason during the darkest months on a few occasions I found myself strolling more locally to make the most of the it. Cruising the DLR I spent [...]
Image of the week…Forgotten..
22:38 21/03/2013Whilst dusting off folders full of negs and untangling hard drives I stumbled across this image from about 8 years ago. It s from a slightly mental family holiday in South Africa over Christmas. The light in Cape Town was a dream and I’d love to return and explore again. This portrait is of [...]
