Thus you can see some of my images in Kuwait are mainly shot in the seaside or the seascape and Many of my images in Kuwait represent Cityscapes as a way to document Architecture evolution in a Middle Eastern Country. more

The Slow Interview with photographer Mark Olwick
I'd say that the majority of my work, maybe 80%, is done as a series, but sometimes that series appears organically more
Houston, We Have a Problem…
Following the recent Meeting of Minds conference, photographer and blogger Malcolm Ragget’s posted his personal summation of the weekend. (http://mraggett.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/onlandscape-conference-craft-versus-art/) David Ward - Eggum Boatshed In a thought-provoking article, Malcolm calls for landscape photographers to broaden their horizons and consider metaphor as a key ingredient of a good photograph. Toward the end of the post he makes a plea for “…delegates to think more deeply more
Its Not Grim Up North
Photography has inextricably intertwined with my life for nearly 40 years. I am not a photographer in the sense that I make my living out of it nor am I an artist but have used the medium to further enjoy outdoor pursuits and to scratch a technical itch with regards to cameras and technology. Photography was also a very necessary escape from a demanding career. Like any ‘craft’ I have learned how to make my images work, importantly knowing more
Endframe – “Moencopi Strata, Capitol Reef” by Minor White
Today, nearly five decades later, the same pools and springs, and the blissful comforting vastness of the desert, are what keep me going, too. But, I am not alone. more

Funding Cuts for Birmingham Photography Collection
Funding cuts in the Arts were an inevitability due to the economic crisis - most of the arguments regarding cuts are about how far is acceptable and how far is too far. Cutting too far will inevitably erode our own arts foundations, never mind the fact that our creative output is one of our biggest exports valued at £8m per hour and our arts and culture worth nearly 1bn per year from tourist revenues . People may say “Only more
The Burren
Some 20 years ago a passage in a biography of JRR Tolkien turned my life into a new direction. Back then ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ were by favourite books and I was especially intrigued by the detailed descriptions of the landscapes of Middle Earth. Naturally I wanted to know more about JRR Tolkien and what inspired him to create this fictive world in such detail. The little passage that got stuck in my mind described more

We’re all judged on our images, often all too fleetingly, yet it is the connections that we make and the conversations that occur that can prove to be the most informative. more
Photographing Deep Time
A momentary burst of light, a passing cloud formation, a crashing wave on the shore – so much of what we do as landscape photographers can often come down to a few fleeting moments as all the elements come together in front of us. In that moment all our knowledge and experience kick in and along with a little luck we hope that we’re able to capture the scene in front of us. more
Endframe – “Jim Jim Falls” by Peter Jarver
The year was 1988 and I was living in Sydney with my wife and kids enjoying a 2 year overseas assignment to Australia. I was a hardened B&W photographer for all except the natural history work that I did. I had never been especially inspired by colour landscape work. Looking back it is easy to forget that this was before the time when Waite/Cornish/Noton rainmakers changed popular landscape photography in the 90’s. It was largely documentary and quite literal more
Trip the Light
“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” - Rumi My photography is based in the American Southwest and my motivation to explore a new location is simple curiosity. My interests in hiking, camping and backpacking and the various information resources I peruse on a daily basis keep a steady stream of luscious landscapes, descriptions and images constantly feeding more
36 Megapixels vs 6×7 Velvia
Over a year ago now we carried out various tests of medium format digital camera systems and film camera systems. The results, whilst interesting, didn’t tell us a whole lot about 35mm digital camera systems. more
