The village of Tyneham, lies not too far from Wareham in Dorset was once a bustling place. In history it can be traced back to the Iron Age, is mentioned in the appropriately named, (in this case) Domesday Book, and has at least 30 ancient barrows. There is a small school room which is frozenContinue reading “The Ghost Village of Tyneham”

Exeter Cathedral on XP2
For a few years now I’ve been working on a little project, which is to visit and photograph all of the Church of England Cathedral’s in Britain. This is usually combined with being closer to one on a vacation, rather than driving from one end of the country to the other to visit one! WhenContinue reading “Exeter Cathedral on XP2”
Geevor Tin Mine
During my vacation to Cornwall, I rented a holiday cottage, just along the coast from the Geevor Tin Mine. Mining has been a part of this landscape since the late 18th century, and indeed Geevor already had a history dating back a century before it took on it’s current name! The mine has been partContinue reading “Geevor Tin Mine”
Street Photography
One of my photographic hero’s is Henri Cartier-Bresson. Like Vivien Maier, Jane Bown, and James Ravillious, I find his photography very “human”. It is a type of photography that I very much admire but am also not very good at! Therefore you will find that a lot of my photography is of buildings and landscapes.Continue reading “Street Photography”
Norway 1993
Continuing on from my post last week, Belgium in B/W, I arrived in Norway. I’d had such a great time, last time I was here that I was eager to return and this time I did with a 16mm Krasnagorsk camera, 8x 100ft loads of film, as well as my little Samsung Compact 35mm camera.Continue reading “Norway 1993”
110: – AMC The Point
Cast your mind back to 1985 – if you are old enough!! Police Academy and Rambo were both on number 2 in their sequels, Rocky had reached it’s fourth outing, meanwhile more original films were also on our screens – The Goonies, Back to the Future, Brazil, The Breakfast Club were all hitting the screenContinue reading “110: – AMC The Point”
Back to Belgium in B/W
In the late spring/early summer of 1993, I was off on my travels again. I’d had such a great time in Scandinavia a couple of years earlier, travelling around by train, that I decided I’d do it again! This time I took a 16mm movie camera with me, a Krasnagorsk. I had 2 x 400ftContinue reading “Back to Belgium in B/W”
The Lizard Point
The Lizard Point is the most southerly point in Great Britain. I made a visit there while on holiday in Cornwall a couple of years ago – pre-covid. I took my trusty Pentax ME Super that had just been serviced. I’ve made a few posts recently with material from this trip. I visited the onceContinue reading “The Lizard Point”
The end of the pier!
A while back I had to go to the dentist in Weymouth, that’s a whole drama by itself, but to calm down afterwards, I took a walk along the harbour and out to the end of the pier. I had 4 exposures left on a roll of FP4…
Pilford Heath
A couple of years ago I went to the Pilford Heath Transport and Heritage Group Show. They are a non- profit organisation with a passion for all transport and heritage, mostly steam. Here is Dorset we hold the “Great Dorset Steam Fair” (also known by locals as “Stourpaine” as that’s actually the closest village) I’veContinue reading “Pilford Heath”
