I found a new group on Facebook, I guess these things are all about machine learning, and FB matching what it thinks I’ve been looking at with other similar things it thinks I might like. Well in this case it came up trumps, I do like this little valley and so I decided to explore […]

Foreward This blog post, along with the zine and my website update, is the culmination of a 12 month project. The project is part of a wider group of projects by photographers who all signed up to undertake the Project, as part of group who belong (largely) to Chris Sales’ FotoComm Group. Chris has always

For those who have read the first two parts of this trilogy will know that the third part of the 121 sessions with Chris Sale was planned to be a walk around Lowther Estate. The idea was that this would allow me to practise telling the “story” of a place, without having to scale any

It was 4am, there is only ever one 4 o’clock in a day and its not usually this one. This particular early start would be worth it though, a hike in the fells above the Haweswater Reservoir. Being a city boy at heart it always makes me think when I venture out into the countryside,

I added Cheesden Old Mill as a location to my project quite early on in the selection of sites but I haven’t had the chance to revisit it since that first visit. This last weekend I did just that. It is situated near Ashworth Moor Reservoir and is on the road from Edenfield to Rochdale.

I was determined to keep my newly found motivation going with some more trips out with my camera this last week. So to kill two birds with one stone off I went into the Peak District again, looking for a new location as well as a further image for my 12 significant images project. I
