The New Cononance / Urban Ugly - best viewed at full screen HD/720p
I love black
and white / monochrome
(mono tab above), my
genre of choice for now, and you'll find abstract, architectural,
landscape and observational bw images there. I do occasionally stray
and you can see the results in the colour
and flora galleries.
Present focus
Right now I'm working on my Urban Pretty
porfolio. This is a response to my earlier Urban Ugly photo essay, a
subset of which was commissioned by the BBC
Every artist has something that drives them on.
For me, it's the interplay between:
light and line
tone and texture
pattern and perspective
structure and
abstraction
I
explore their interaction through my camera lens and in the digital
darkroom, often using black and white and accentuated
contrast as a revealer. Hopefully the final image is
one you'll relate to. Watch the slideshow above and see what I mean by
those
bullet-points...
What's new...
19th February 2012
Gallery
updates: I've added a number of images across all
galleries.
Website
updates: Today I removed all the Google Friend Connect
feaatures on this webite, apart from on my blog section. This follows
Google's announcement to remove support for it anywhere other than
Blogger blogs at the end of Feb.
Thank you everyone who rated, reviewed or
commented on my work but unfortunately, it's now all gone.
Zazzle
store updates: Zazzle have recently added throw pillows and various laptop
/ iPad / Macbook sleeves by Rickshaw, so
I've been adding my designs to them, as well.

I
have a bunch of photos ready to upload to the
galleries
here. You can see some of them in the slideshow above,
with the previous most recent via this
search link.
In my Zazzle
store
my Desiderata range of posters / prints / canvases is proving
very popular - here's one using my "Wishing Window" image that's really
tranquil, well suiting the
words, and which would make a great bedroom wall poster:
The full
Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. Go placidly amidst the noise and haste... An
empty wishing window beckons you on to contemplate the future.
This poem has
inspired young adults who are coming of age since the 1920's and is as
popular today as it ever was. It's been given as a gift by loving
parents, grandparents, godparents and aunts and uncles as essential
life-wisdom ever since it was written.
They've found it
to be one of the few ways for such wisdom to get past those raging
hormones and support the upcoming generation especially through their
rebellious
years!
