Notes on October
October was busy. I got some test shots on 120 film back from AG Photolab, there was a good balance of different jobs (some in places with good views of London), though sadly I can’t really share them just yet, which makes a photo blog challenging. I saw 2 excellent rainbows, visited the sea twice…

Notes on recent things
It was a funny old summer. Mostly I quietly worked away on my DYCP, built this new website and applied many layers of paint to the the summerhouse we put together in the spring. We spent a wonderful week exploring Copenhagen and Stockholm, where we had the most delicious food, saw beautiful places and walked…

Notes on the fortnight: 26 April 2024
I’ve had to upgrade some kit recently and to help fund it I sold some older kit, something that doesn’t come naturally to me as I do tend to ‘collect’ things with any sort of sentimental value. My Canon 5D Mark II, which was my first full frame DSLR from all the way back in…

Notes on the week: 12 April 2024
Very quick notes today, as this week has been more admin based with proposals for jobs, financial things and thinking about goals for the new financial year. A few jobs from the recent past can now be shared so I’ll add some blogs about those next week and make a few portfolio/website updates. I took…

Notes on the week: 5 April 2024
It’s been a funny sort of week. Those who read last week’s notes will be pleased to hear I did indeed make it to the pub. I had a lovely Easter weekend with family, have accumulated a pleasing amount of chocolate and we tired ourselves out building a rather larger than anticipated shed/summerhouse. I sent some films…

Notes on the week: 29 March 2024
On Saturday I had some more FORMAT24 portfolio reviews to attend, with more interesting discussions and things to take action on. They also led to the scene below later in the week, which was an interesting and fun exercise in revisiting my TRIVIAL MATTER images and trying to find the connections. In the past couple of weeks…

Notes on the week: 22 March 2024
Last weekend I went to London for the afternoon and evening and was really pleased to get to visit my friend Mandy William’s exhibition with Colin Pantall and Dawn Rodgers at Four Corners, Disrupted Landscapes. The work was really powerful and the three very distinct bodies of work really worked well together inn the space.…

A Zine about January 2022
January is always a funny time of year. Generally a bit quiet, it’s when I try to do some of the jobs I should do all the time, but usually come bottom of the list, like updating my website and coming up with plans for contacting potential new clients and collaborators. The website has had…

Notes on a photograph: 15:28-15:32
On Tuesday morning I wrote my newsletter and for some reason began with “The weather has taken a distinct turn for the wintery here in Essex and I’m doing my best not to get too distracted by every interesting puff of steam or bit of frost catching the low golden sunshine as I work through my processing, though those…

A Zine about June 2021
June felt like it went by in a blur. It was a busy month! On the work side of things I photographed houses in the sweltering sun, I went 8 meters up in a cherry picker to photograph a giant installation, which I later got to see in print, spent a lovely day photographing a wonderful…
