lines lines & more lines
Anyone that knows me will know I have a thing about angles, lines and repetition so yesterday when I was in St Annes I was drawn once again to the fencing on the beach huts.. I find the linear perspective so satisfying, bringing order, albeit very briefly, to the chaotic thoughts and plans in my…

Black & Lights
Heard the news about storm Barney yesterday and warnings of flooding, falling trees and the advice to stay indoors whenever possible. .. but had to go to Blackpool anyway so off I went in search of some stormy images on the prom, however the wind really was far too strong and after battling with camera…

My brother Simon and Scotland
Years ago I asked my brother Simon why he loved exploring Scotland so much… after a short pause his answer was simple -“God lives there”- and I think he’s right. Like everyone I love sunrises and sunsets but very rarely photograph them because am usually in awe of the beauty and know that a photograph…

geometrical shapes & billowing canvas
As I wandered along a half deserted beach on one of the few warm days we’ve had this early summer I noticed this group of deck chairs, abandoned by the occupants who had left in search of ice creams or even set off on an intrepid journey to get to the water’s edge…which always seems…

A bleak black & white view of Blackpool, very colourful most of the year but sometimes on a warm day, a day warm enough for kids to paddle, the sky is grey and everything seems duller…perfect for a ‘Lowry’ influenced image.

wire & wood
Needing to organise my mind this morning brought me again to a very favourite place. A long walk on the beach in the sunshine and once again I found myself lying flat on the damp sand in order to capture these elegant sand fences. The simplicity and repetition soothes this mad creativity that is crowding…

Gold – Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief So dawn goes down to day, nothing gold can stay

wild, exhilarating & nostalgic
A walk along the promenade in Blackpool at high tide is always fabulous but when the tide is high and wild it’s absolutely breathtaking. It makes me want to throw open my arms wide and scream in to the wind and much to the surprise of other walkers I frequently do. The sound smell and…
