Big skies are a particular love of mine, so it's a good thing we're living here in north Cornwall.

I noticed that I have never actually posted the full version of the picture I use for my profile image. It was taken in St Ives, Cornwall, a few years ago, and as you might quickly gather from the fact I took it, the man and dog in it are not me and my dog,... Continue Reading →
autumn glow
Towards the evening, diffusely lit by a typically grey-skied and damp sort of autumn day, our Ash tree seemed to be glowing

When we were looking to move down to Cornwall, my wife had a shortlist of desired characteristics for the ideal location.
is it art? no. not yet.
I was reading an interesting Guardian interview with the veteran photographer Ferdinando Scianna - you can find it here - and he offered up this thought about what photography should be considered as being art.

My last post published for a second time for some reason (someone playing with buttons they don't really understand, I expect... ahem...), so I deleted it. The original, posted earlier in the day,...

Most don't end up being trees at all, just a constantly trimmed piece of a mixed hedgerow environment, so... Continue Reading →
“Do you ever take pictures of people?”
This question was asked of me by a friend, who I think was angling to have someone take their forthcoming wedding pictures for them on the cheap.
