Welcome to my
photo art galleries and blog
Be my
guest...
..and
make your way down the walkway
to the galleries.
You can use the tabs above to
navigate to the main areas of
the site, or use the sitesearch
(top right) as a way in.
Enjoy my work, each image highlighting something
special I've found that I want to share with you. Most are available on
a range of quality products
at Zazzle.com or Zazzle.co.uk
- something for everyone! (links
open in
a new window)
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
Here is one of
them, to be used as the cover image in the November issue of The
Plymouth Magazine.
I'm driven by...
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...
12th October
I
have a bunch of recent photos that I've just uploaded to the galleries
here, as promised in the last update. You can see them all via this
search link.
21st September
I've been exploring colour rather a lot in the
last month. I'm really happy with the way things are going and have
added a number of the very best, as well as a couple more b/w, to my
portfolio — see the slideshow below.
There's one I'm
really excited to share, in as much as it's the first I've been happy
to publish that uses a new impressionist style I've been
working
on. Keep your eye out for the tree shot "
Start of a Cornish Autumn"
(I'll add it and the other new ones to the galleries here in the next
update, planned for sometime soonly).
31st July
I've updated the site with a panel so you can add
me to your Google+ Circles nice and easily. I've been spending rather
too much time on G+ but I think it's really important at the moment for
this new entrant to the social scene.
Unlike others, it puts you in control and makes it
easy to share only what you want, with who you want. Nice.
In my Zazzle
store
my Desiderata range of posters / prints / canvases is proving
very popular - here's one that's really tranquil, well suiting the
words and would make a great bedroom wall poster:
Inspirational guidance
The full
Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. Go placidly amidst the noise and haste... A
single pillar stands contemplating new horizons, absorbing the wisdom
of the years.
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!
