Beauty in decay

I was listening to a piece on Radio 4 this morning about photographer Bob Reinhardt who has dedicated years of his life to photographing Scottish graveyards and who has just opened an exhibition in Edinburgh Central Library.  Eager for more information I did a quick Google to find out more about the exhibition and his…

London adventures with my phone!

Phew it’s the end of a very busy week which saw me working in London for three days! I had a hectic schedule carrying out interviews at a well known Business School for some writing work 2up is doing for another agency.  I was based in the heart of one of the busiest tourist centres…

The story of a picture…

The last working week has been very “image heavy” with the Norfolk Show and a wedding happening all with in four days. Getting to grips with sorting and editing hundreds (or even thousands of photos) is sometimes very daunting – especially, as with the Norfolk Show, I was also editing shots from two other photographers. …

Comfort food

Strawberry muffins

Walking pixels: 30 April

After the awful weather of late this morning was sublime.  Warm,  sunny, the sky larks soaring.  I also saw my first swallow of the spring but I’ve yet to hear a cuckoo.  Today’s images are processed with a photoshop  action that I’m refining at the moment which will hopefully be available very soon for download.

Wet and wetter…

What a week it’s been – cold, wet and miserable – not at all like Spring. I seem to have seen the world through misty, wet windows – whether it’s been from my desk, in the kitchen or from inside the car. All photos taken on my mobile using vignette app.
