SCOTLAND. In A Photographic Time Machine.
I don’t own a TARDIS, I drive a Nissan Micra that’s well blessed in years.

SNAPSHOT! Manchester. A Coffee to Start With.
Cabin fever bites again so I’m curing it with a quick-ish trip into Manchester. I’ve no particular agenda beyond getting out of the house for a couple of hours.

My ‘studio’ was very basic, a couple of sheets hung […]
Studio Days
Some time back I put together a small, pop up studio set for me to practise still life techniques with. It was assembled, after a little bit of pondering, from an old computer table with wheels, three lengths of steel framing and an old projector screen. My idea was to create an infinity background and as the table was mobile I could quickly pull it into use by a south facing […]
