Endframe: Migrant Mother, by Dorothea Lange
From 1935 t0 1944 the FSA ran a program of photography, hiring photographers to document the plight of poor farmers and migrant workers. Altogether, eleven photographers were hired for this project, but in particular Gordon Parks, Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. more
Birch (Betula pendula)
The birch tree must be the most recognisable of our native trees. It’s silver bark makes it stand out from quite a distance and it’s shocking lemon and lime autumnal colours are as close as we brits get to the iconic aspens. more
Landscape Photography in the Death Zone
Alan's immense achievement of climbing all of the world's 8000m peaks obviously overshadows the fact that he took some photographs up there. more
Killing the Buddha
Far more important, in photography and any other expressive medium, is not how to use our tools but what we do with them, what we each find worthy of creating and expressing. more
Mat Robinson
The challenge of trying to distill a 3D scene into a 2D photograph while still retaining the feel and beauty of a place is one that keeps me, at least, very much more present in the moment than I might otherwise be. more
Dipping into the Landscape
I came upon landscape via a circuitous route. My main career for 25 years was as an author of young adult and children’s books including an eco-thriller titled Ravenwood with mile high trees and leaves the size of a human. The rights were bought by the publisher who signed J.K.Rowling and sold to 15 countries. I thought I had arrived. However, with each book in the series being 100k words, and with re-writes 250k, the virtual eco-system with its more
Between Land and Sea
It’s almost a year since I first received an email from Farley Farm House – Home of the Surrealists and the Lee Miller Archives, inviting me to exhibit my latest project “Between Land and Sea”. more

In each of these moments you put your awareness at work the focused and lucid mind is recognising certain elements and situations coming together in not just a visually pleasing manner, but also in a conceptually eloquent manner. more
Issue 122 PDF
Time, for the landscape photographer, is often the enemy. We never seem to spend enough time taking photos; there is never enough time to find the composition before the light disappears; it’s too early to get up; we got up too late; our readers say they frequently have problems finding time to read all the articles or books that they own. more
Endframe: Coast People (1 of a series & book), by Ian Forsyth
The actual piece of work I have chosen is a northeast photographer, Ian Forsyth, from his longitudinal study ‘Coast People’. more

The Unseen Photographer
Joe Cornish talked at the Meeting of Minds Conference 2014. He talked about and shared some unseen work that is essentially personal. This work goes back a long way into by archive since he has been making such images since he first picked up a camera. more
Birch Article – Call for Photos
Just like our Heather article in a previous issue, we would like to include some of your best photographs of the Birch, either as part of the landscape, as a subject in its own right or as part of an abstract, detail or macro. more
Pre Conference Workshop
When I was talking to Len Metcalf about coming from Australia to talk at our conference in November, he expressed an interest in offering a small workshop the week before. As a full-time photography teacher (at the aptly named “Len’s School”), I pointed out that this was a bit of a busman’s holiday but Len was still keen to see if the Antipodean school of tuition would be of interest to a Limey audience. Knowing Len more
