I’m so thrilled I have learned how to make a book – to show off my images. The Japanese stab book derives from simple receipt books used by market traders (not money market!). It was a cheap disposable item, which has become emblematic of Japanese life and...

I may not be an old dog, but I’m certainly learning new tricks! A friend who makes beautiful furniture asked me if I could help him with product photographs for a new website. His name is Colin Norgate and his work is absolutely beautiful and his website is here...

In normal years I like to travel, especially to take pictures. In 2020 the only place I have been (apart from the Isle of Wight) is Venice. I was there in January and I am absolutely, utterly, desperately longing to go back. One of my most pleasing images from the...

Now that I have finally got a haircut I can’t moan about that any more. So, as I’m a fan of the musical Hamilton, “what did I miss?” as Thomas Jefferson says to Alexander Hamilton on his return from France. Shows, events and face to face...

I haven’t been very diligent at keeping my website up to date but in lockdown there’s no excuse so I have had to look critically at it, and Lo and Behold, some of my loveliest pictures are not on there. I somehow imagined they got there automatically...

It’s so hot today I’m wishing myself elsewhere. In fact Iceland is on my mind, not surprising as I have been there at exactly this time of year. The lupin fields are incredible and I can’t help wondering if that’s how it looks at the moment. I...

We are lucky enough to have countryside all around, and I haven’t really valued that enough. We have lived in the same place for 20 years now, and to begin with I was working full time nearby. I tend to throw myself into things full tilt, and so I saved very...
