Taken at Kenilworth castle, this image tries to capture the British love of picnics. It's not something I've ever had a keen enthusiasm for, but this couple have waded through the long grass laden down with table, chairs and food to enjoy the June afternoon by the side of the stream. They were admired by … Continue reading MMX: Picnic →

My photobook was delivered today from Cewe and they have done a really good job on it. The colour images have been rendered very well indeed and the monochrome ones both tinted and un-tinted are true to the originals.The full cover image on the front looks very nice and as usual the whole book has … Continue reading MMX Photobook has arrived →

This image was taken in Broadway in the Cotswolds. The elderly lady had sat down on a bench next to a bus stop obviously waiting for her lift home. As I watched her, she seemed to be miles away, neither recognizing or conversing with her fellow 'bench-sitters' or taking an interest in the scene around … Continue reading MMX: daydream →

I have sent off to Cewe all my images for the MMX book, and it has now been despatched . I'm really looking forward to see what kind of a job they've done on my photographs.

An incongruous mix, but they seem to get by and generally leave each other alone apart from some good natured name-calling in the tea-shops! I … Continue reading MMX: Bike and Reflection →

Taken on a lazy Sunday afternoon in Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds. I really like the instancy of this picture. The way people have been frozen in a moment of time. The lady looking at the photograph she has just taken, the boy on the right explaining something to his girl-friend and the couple on the … Continue reading MMX: Sunday Afternoon →

Taken at the Chesterton Windmill, I got the inspiration of this from the cover of the Judas Priest album 'Sin after Sin'. It was easy to do using two layers, the top layer converted to greyscale and the archway painted out to reveal the colour image underneath. The picture was taken using an Olympus E-620.

This is the pedestrian walkway in Leamington, from the car-park to The Parade. I was going to the bank and turned around as I reached the end of the corridor. I liked the soft light that came in through the windows and I happened to have my trusty old Nikon 4100 compact with me and … Continue reading MMX: Alone →
