Face in the trunk
Saturday, January 17, 2009
Self-portrait with a wind-swept beech tree one day of freezing gales last March high on Roundway Hill in Wiltshire. I have had a number of requests to include my lensed tree photography and not just pinhole photos on my website. I really feel that aesthetically the two styles don’t mix well at all so I [...]
Silver birch with grasses
Sunday, January 11, 2009
Over the Christmas period I had the opportunity to use for the first time the beautiful spalted hawthorn camera which was made for me by Mark Goddard. The light this day was soft but directional. The waving twigs made the dry grasses on the floor of the wood shimmer and glow.
Winter’s geometry
Thursday, January 1, 2009
My new year’s day composition for the annual f295 call for entry.
Winter trees, rooks
Saturday, December 27, 2008
I always love the intricacy of oaks against the leaden winter sky and the primeval, elemental cawing of rooks at dusk. It really is one the great joys of winter; a simple, subtle pleasure which never seems to diminish.
Ladle Hill
Friday, November 21, 2008
Winter sunset from the top of Ladle Hill on the ridge of the North Wessex Downs, a line of chalk hills in the south of England. This is a spot which I used to frequent as a child and which has lost none of its magic, engendered in part by its location inside an unfinished [...]
Self with tree
Sunday, September 28, 2008
Even as the September sun is shining, the morning chill today has my thoughts leading from autumn to winter. The wonderful sky is created by the vagaries of the pinhole process – though I’m still not sure how.
Autumn
Sunday, September 21, 2008
The beautiful autumn weather is nearly upon us. My heart always quickens at the approach of this lovely time of year. I especially love the breezes, smells and, of course the trees. This photo is one I have used as part of a diptych but seems to embody for me the effect of the winds [...]
Trees
Thursday, April 17, 2008
I have been slowly gathering together a collection of tree images as part of a series I hope to make into a book. Here is the first of the pinhole photos which will be part of the initial draft. I am using a 35mm Populist camera hand-held which has a wonderful perspective and, when not [...]
