Like many of you out there, I’ve become more and more interested in multi-media. As a natural extension of my love of macrophotography, my target subjects will be insects and other small creatures. I recently came across this post by … Continue reading
Creative Visions of Nature. Not. NB
This is a very, very hard post to write. There are so many people I could offend (many of them still friends), so many accusations that could be hurled my way, so much scope for misrepresentation. But that’s never stopped … Continue reading
The Natural History of ULSTER – John Faulkner & Robert Thompson. PHD

Assynt deconstruction. NB
I never did manage to shoot as many elements for an Assynt deconstruction as I had hoped, but nevertheless came away with enough for two 55 image panels from our time there in January and June. For a fuller explanation … Continue reading
Joe Cornish’s new book. NB
On the way up from giving a talk and presentation at Stokesely, North Yorkshire, last weekend, Charlotte and I dropped in to have coffee with Joe Cornish. As always, I came away inspired, humbled and believing in the power of … Continue reading
