West of the Sun
Back in January one of our readers, Anna McNay, got in touch to see if we'd be interested in an interview with Toby Deveson. He uses his old Nikkormat and the same 24mm lens that he ‘borrowed’ from your father more than 20 years ago. He finalises each frame in-camera and doesn't crop images in the darkroom. I more
The Devil’s Dictionary
Many of you will already know or will have heard of The Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce which is often cited as one of the greatest satirical works of American literature. more

End frame: Lone Tree by Michael Kenna
The simple delineation between the ground and sky using subtle changes of grey tones allows the curved V-shaped horizon to sweep across the image gently and is critical in forming a feeling of depth and space. more
Grounded
This photography project began as a piece of work to document a year in the life of Hollesley Marshes. It is an area I have been fascinated with for a while and one I walk to every morning with my dog. more

For the ultimate in abstracts, take to the air. From the glacial rivers in Iceland that we have become familiar with to the landscapes of Australia, Kevin Krautgartner’s images show that there is plenty to find and enjoy at a larger scale. more
When Time, and Trees, Stood Still
Although photography is a visual medium I like the idea, or sense, of listening to the trees, of being receptive to their whispering voices. And I heard that there is much to be said for standing still. more

Through my work as a photographer, I have also spent time in different kinds of landscapes; landscapes which are embedded with the aftermath and traces of war (as in Kosovo), or which are marked out as land under military occupation (as in The Plain). more
Lockdown Podcast #12
The weather is a continual topic of conversation for many living in the British Isles, and for landscape photographers, it becomes something of an obsession. more
The Dolomites
The Dolomites are composed of Dolomite rock, a compound of calcium carbonate and magnesium, elements that accentuate the reflectivity of the sun's rays. more
Hiraeth
Welsh is spoken by barely 20 percent of the population, so we can only hope that the evocative Welsh word hiraeth will somehow be preserved. It means “distance pain,” and I know all about it: a yearning for the lost places of our past, more

End frame: Snow Lines by Lizzie Shepherd
Although the subject is a snowy scene, this is not a cold photograph. The fringe of branches that gracefully dangle over the top of the frame create a sense of haven. more
Creativity and Personality
Despite so many challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the requirement for social distancing also created opportunities for me to spend more time doing virtual presentations for camera clubs and other photography groups, answering photographers’ questions on a variety of topics. To my surprise, topics related to psychology seem to have been a recurring theme. more
