a zoo visit, a sealed knot general muster, riverside and coastal walks, stately home visits, early snow on the mountains of skye, a village scarecrow festival and brightly coloured allotment life... these and others are the many varied sources of material for this collection of photographs, images produced over a decade across the counties of north and west yorkshire, flintshire, conwy, denbighshire, merseyside, lancashire, leicestershire, staffordshire, derbyshire, norfolk and inverness-shire
sometimes i photograph something unusual but mostly i take pictures of common things from unusual angles. nature, and material life generally, is ever full of new juxtapositions which make interesting abstractions and it is those abstractions that i like to photograph.
it is an art of composition and a question of subject matter rather than complicated camera technicalities. nearly all pictures were produced using a low budget and easy to operate Olympus OM10
there's no cropping of images or any kind of photoshopping
