Star Blossom
When my Uncle Fergus asked me if I would produce a series of photo illustrations for his new book of poetry and prose, I was extremely pleased and excited to be asked, whilst at the same time equally apprehensive that I would be unable to rise to the challenge and create anything remotely suitable t[......]
Royal Photographic Society Visual Art Group Exhibition 2012
I have had an image accepted for the Royal Photographic Society Visual Art Group Exhibition 2012 - ‘Dreamscape’, which I had also submitted for the RPS International Projected Image Exhibition 2011 where it just failed by one point to make the grade. Now it will instead be seen in print at the exhi[......]
Article in RPS Visual Art Group Magazine
I was commissioned to write this article for the journal of one of the sub-groups of The Royal Photographic Society, the Visual Art Group, founded in 1921 “to foster the interest and advancement in all matters relating to Pictorial Photography”. These pages are reproduced with kind permission of th[......]
Article in RPS Digital Imaging Group Magazine
I was commissioned to write this article for the journal of one of the sub-groups of The Royal Photographic Society, the Digital Imaging Group, which is for members who use computer manipulation on their photographs using various available software and techniques. These pages are reproduced with kin[......]
The Cubbyholes of my Mind
Trying something a little different here, in that I have taken a photo from the recent explore at the abandoned toolmakers in Sheffield and combined it with an older photograph of myself from the bandaged head series (used to create The Trick is to Keep Breathing). I was aiming for so[......]
Balloons Ancient and Modern
Had lunch with my Mum today, and she showed me her recently compiled album of vintage postcards, all of which were from the Isle of Man. Imagine my surprise and delight when I came across the one below, of two Victorian ladies posing in a resigned but not altogether grumpy fashion in a fabulous[......]
More Phelgm in Sheffield
Some more work from Phlegm from the first weekend, shot in the burnt out sports hall which featured three of his massive pieces. This one was floor to ceiling, making full use of the space available, and obviously far taller than me. In this regard, I was pleased that I had hefted along my 70-[......]
Phlegm in Sheffield
More work from the wonderfully imaginative Phlegm, all shot in the same abandoned building in Sheffield, a rotting hulk with lethal floors and bare-boned ceilings, looking as if they would shed metal and tiles on our heads at any moment. I have used various filters and textures here to enhanc[......]
Strange Creatures
This building was potentially tricky to get into, as it had been very thoroughly boarded up and there was no possibility of getting in through a window or door. However, thanks to Mark’s excellent folding ladder we were able to gain access through the open roof space, in order to photograph these[......]
Rocket01
These are photos of work by Rocket01, whose talent speaks for itself and needs no further input from me …… Also a little input from Faunagraphic in the top photograph as well.
Shot in abandoned buildings in Sheffield, South Yorkshire at the weekend.
I See You
I hate it when this happens – I cannot decide between these two slightly differently processed photographs which one I prefer or which one is better – the darker and more moody version with the emphasis on the painting, or the brighter one that shows up more of those tasty textures? I would wel[......]
Riding to Nowhere
This was taken in the final location of our day trip to Sheffield, in a rather lethal building with rotten floors that felt squishy underfoot, but worth the danger as it was full of wonderful work from Phlegm, who had obviously had plenty of time to work undisturbed. Mark and I have our joint pho[......]
Procession
Mark and I went up to Sheffield in South Yorkshire at the weekend, to find and photograph street art in the area, following information on locations from our friend Romanywg (author of this fabulous book on the subject). We braced ourselves to get up very early on Sunday morning to make the thre[......]
More East London Street Art
Another selection from my recent visit to Shoreditch in East London, of some of the excellent street art that is so prolific in this area. This one is by Farkfk, and through my post-processing using Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 I have selectively coloured the image in an attempt to make it my own, i.e.[......]
I Like It When A Girl Can Walk Right By
Something a little different for me, in that it is (a) black and white and (b) not textured!
Mark and I had a photographic wander around Shoreditch in London’s East End on Sunday, specifically looking for street art by some of our favourite artists. Mark had previously seen and photographed[......]
