for me at least I appear to be making a habit of not posting for long periods. There might be a month where I do what I intend to, and post once a week. Then there could be a month gap between. And sometimes longer! Distractions! I have way too many distractions in my life. I call them hobbies, but boy oh boy do they distract me from taking pictures. I’ve been writing this blog for little over an hour at this point because of Top Gun (original, and the best by the way). Major distraction. Perhaps I need to focus more? Or stop some hobbies? Or just carry on and be happy with the pace in which ..read more

so i did it. I deleted instagram! …Again Why? This isn’t the first time but it certainly is the last. 2019, I decided enough was enough and deleted my Instagram account. Yet somehow, and I still to this day don’t know why, but I created a new account but I don’t recall when I did this, I just know I did. Skip 4 years to present day in the world of me and I’m in the same position feeling the same way about it. So Its gone as of today. Yesterday I made the decision to get rid of it, wrote a page in the journal, and today I did just that. So why? The addiction that comes with Instagram, the amou ..read more

With one project coming to its temporary end; another begins. The paused project requires access that at this present time isn’t available. I have some contacts to make enquires with to pursue an alternative direction to take the project, and assuming they are willing to collaborate and potentially open some doors, then i’ll have a rethink on how to actually shoot the project. I want to spend a few years on this as the issue at hand tends to be more problematic from Autumn to end of Winter. The “New” is actually a resurrected project I started and dabbled with over the last 3 years. Access is ..read more

Well. To say this is frustrating is an understatement. However, I really underestimated how hard this project would be. I’m not going to say what the project is or was. But before this can start, I’ve had to completely rethink the approach. The original approach to this really didn’t offer opportunities to actually get the camera out and make work, the way I wanted to shoot it depended entirely on external conditions. And as I have found out, even when the conditions and opportunity is there. The pictures were terrible. So for now, it has been shelved. Not for good, but until I can establish ..read more

Have I written about this before? Yes. Why am I writing more about it? Because its still relevant to my life and could be in yours too. Importance of documenting your life I’m now 12 years deep in documenting my family, and had planned to put a stop to it. That didn’t go so well and I’ve continued to do so, although not as much as I once did. I realized that this isn’t a typical project, and I say that in the sense that its really only for me and my family to see, sure I share the work but when I make books from the work, they are for me and my family. So I’ve carried on shooting and our lives ..read more

Why document where you live? This is of course a personal opinion, but i’m always fascinated to see pictures of where I grew up, and where I live now in the decades gone by. The difference in style and fashion or people, the design changes in the automotive world. I always love to see buildings that are still standing now from 100 years ago. Seeing the past is one thing, but the imagination takes over and then I wonder what life would have been like compared to the now. At that point I have to research the history of a place, and more often than not their history is pretty astounding. Just th ..read more

Hey everyone who is kind enough to grace this fine blog… Or whatever it actually is. Some may have noticed that my website has had a little overhaul… And I've got to be honest, i’m not entirely sold on it just yet. I think its an improvement, but still has room to be played with; to fine tune. Its Been a Minute! So where have I been? What have I been doing? Well the short answer is… I’ve been right here, still doing the same thing, still working on projects. I just haven’t been all too active online. But I need to get myself back in to the habit of writing new posts for my blog. Maybe perhaps ..read more
