It’s been a bit of a grim fortnight in the Highlands with strong winds and rain culminating in a fierce storm passing last night, which blew the contents of our bins down the road. I was hoping to get out and take a few photographs to add to my calendar article, but in the end, the idea of representing Christmas in the Highlands with a picture of a soggy hillside didn’t really cut the mustard. Instead, we went for a couple of walks to keep our legs active and spent our time getting ahead of work, ready for another deep freeze.

The calendar article was a pleasure to write this month, and it was great to see the printed copies from Joe Cornish, David Ward and Charlie Waite. If you need to buy Christmas gifts for anybody, they’re well worth checking out.

End frame: Autumn, Yosemite Valley 1938 by Ansel Adams

It looks simple: a gentle river scene with reflections. However, the elements in the image are a mixture of different trees, separated by the piercing light of morning, which breaks up the jumble of the woods into discrete areas. more →

Peter Richter “Moments with Trees”

Peter Richter recently sent us a small book made using KOZU’s new printing service MAKEBOOK. I was interested in the quality of their latest digital printing and also wanted to take a look at what Peter had made, both in his photography and in his design choices. more →

Anna Onishi – Portrait of a Photographer

Her photographs remind us that meaning often exists in the gentle spaces: in the tremble of light, the hush of snow, the faint color of early blossoms. more →

Adam Gibbs

I’ve always been drawn to the quieter moments in nature — subtle light, calm atmospheres, and understated beauty, rather than the grand, dramatic scenes with sharp peaks and blazing skies. more →

Landscape Photography Calendars

Printed calendars persist despite the flood of digital reminders. An artwork with function that you can interact with on a daily basis seems hard to replace. more →
