The trees are like three actors, with the central one taking the ‘Oscar’. The others have supporting roles but are critical in the achieving the dynamic balance this image has. more
The part of the workflow that really interests me is the actual taking of the images, which is a very meditative process that I find very relaxing. I can spend hours and hours at the edge of the water and free my mind from the constant chatter. more
There are many talented landscape photographers today who better represent Adams in our time, photographers who have continued to advance the craft and the art. more
This Ninth episode features Michéla Griffith and we had many questions about writing and photography, substack, daily walking, creativity and much more. more

The river here curves and drops enough to create quite a noise of rushing water, unusual in its energised movement through and onwards. It will continue past disused mills (saw; wheat and walnut), the picturesque village football grounds, a buried medieval graveyard and fortified tower, and a site of prehistoric finds. more

In the early 90's, I lost my reflex camera, a Miranda Sensorex, in an accident. Then I bought a second hand Pentax camera with a Pentax 50mm lens. more
I live in a rather unprepossessing part of the city of Nijmegen. A dull suburb. However, I am lucky in that I live just next to a park with plenty to photograph, especially close up and macro. more
