… for a short while! I’ll explain. Back in 2005 I found myself in Bolivia, as you do! I’ll be honest and say that I was a little apprehensive I’d heard stories, drug cartels, violence, on the US dangerous to visit list etc. I found the people wonderful, saw no demonstrations, fights or violence, inContinue reading “Bolivia: The end of film…”

Scotland
Almost exactly 15 years ago I went to Scotland with a good friend. We went to a Buddhist retreat on the shores of Loch Voil. Above is the view from Creag An Tuirc. It was interesting experience, one that mostly I enjoyed very much. On the journey up we stopped at Kendal in the LakeContinue reading “Scotland”
Nepal: More Black and White
Continuing on from my last post, here are a few more from my black and white images I made while in Nepal. The film was FP4+. Most of the photo’s here were made in Bhaktapur, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and although it’s the smallest city in Nepal it’s also the most densely populated!Continue reading “Nepal: More Black and White”
Nepal: A Country in the Clouds
When I was young there were two places in the world I wanted to visit. The first was New York. I’ll write about that another time, let’s just say for now I was on the train going there, when a chemical plant caught fire in Buffalo, flames drifted across the tracks, halted the train andContinue reading “Nepal: A Country in the Clouds”
An Exciting Development… Coming Soon!
Roger Fenton (1819-1869), English photographer, worked from his portable ‘Photographic Van‘ during the Crimean War. Well it may be his van, but sat on it, is his assistant Marcus Sparling…
Lydford Gorge in B/W
Lydford Gorge in Devon is home to the Whitelady Waterfall (above). Since my last visit, bad weather, heavy flooding, and raging water cutting through the gorge has caused so much damage that what was the middle part of the gorge is now impassable, and the walk that was, has been cut in two. Now twoContinue reading “Lydford Gorge in B/W”
Drake Circus
Drake Circus is the main shopping mall in the centre of Plymouth. It opened in 2006, and houses around 70 shops. It’s a handy place to park in the centre of Plymouth, and close to the HMV store, which once was in the centre, but now is just outside! As shopping malls go, it’s nothingContinue reading “Drake Circus”
Plymouth with the XA2
If you’ve read my last few posts you will know that I took my Hasselblad kit with me on my recent Devon trip. It turned out, as expected, that I would have a couple of city visits while I was there, so I also took along my Olympus XA2 with me, as I didn’t wantContinue reading “Plymouth with the XA2”
Winchester Mill on XP2
Ok, so the first photo obviously isn’t a mill! It’s King Alfred standing looking down on and up along the “Broadway”. It was decided in 1899 that a statue would be built to commemorate 1000 years since the death of Alfred. It was finished in 1901, and has been there ever since. He ruled fromContinue reading “Winchester Mill on XP2”
Silbury Hill and Beyond
Silbury Hill (above) is the largest man made mound in Europe. It’s Neolithic and sits on the Wiltshire landscape. It dates from around 2700BC, and it is estimated that it may have taken 700 men 10 years to construct. Moving about 248,000 cubic metres of chalk and infill. When we think of the population ofContinue reading “Silbury Hill and Beyond”
