2023 Photography Year In Review

2023 – A slow photography year. It seems 2023 was an extension of 2022 for me personally.  This year my landscape photography was somewhat pushed to the background.  Still in hiatus from social media and with few outlets for connecting with my fellow photographers I spent most of the year on commercial portraiture and commercial work. I eventually was invited to join the new social media network Bluesky late in the year.  It’s been nice to reconnect in part with […]

2022 Photography Year In Review

2022 – Frankly, I think we all want to see the back of it.  What a mess of a year. I’m sure i’m not alone in saying that the general tone of the year, the political drama, the cost-of-living crisis, really hampered my mood artistically.  Socially it was quite a struggle too, as a generally introverted individual, the photographic community on Twitter had been a great source of inspiration and friendship. Then the takeover happened and from my own standpoint […]

Talking Photography with Euan Ross of Biblioscapes

As first experiences go, this was a big one.  Let’s face, I’m  your atypical introverted nerd. Out of the blue, a few weeks ago, I was asked by Euan Ross to participate in his long running photography podcast series ‘Biblioscapes In Discussion‘. Just take a look at the names of previous interviewees on the playlist.  Let’s just say, I was terrified!  These are the names of the photographers I regularly look at in awe. Anyway, Euan was not to be […]

How I published my first photography zine

I recently took the first daunting steps to publishing a photography zine. For a very long time I have had the urge to produce a photography book. The dream has always been, a big, chunky table book. Big ambitions, so best start slightly smaller! Photography zines. What is a photography zine? You may ask. A photography zine is generally a small (pages, and dimensions), self-published, magazine style book. As well as photographs, it can often contain descriptions, notes, musings, poetry, […]

The 100mm filter system is back, and upgraded for 2022.
