Allotment find
I was at the allotment dropping some weeds on to the communal pile when I saw these skeletal Chinese lantern plant heads. Thought they might be good for some creative photography. When time allows I’ll play some more.
Church on the Moor
With the possibility of an interesting photographic project in the offing, I diverted on my way home from Thirsk (visit to Kwik Fit), to check out a tiny church, St Mary Magdalene, East Moors. It is certainly off the beaten track but when it was built in 1882 it served a local farming population of

Infinity Bridge, Stockton
I took Jake to basketball last night so had an hour or so to kill. It’s been a while since I’ve taken him and the first time this year when it’s been light enough to walk along the Tees in daylight. It was a lovely evening, quite warm and lots of people were out and

In a fascinating frame-by-frame presentation, Abell deconstructs both his well-known and recent images—all with the idea of examining the idea that there is a clear ‘way’ of making finer photographs. In addition, he shows

Gormire Lake ramble
Decided to head out to Gormire Lake yesterday afternoon. I’d driven past, located as it is at the bottom of Sutton Bank, several times in recent weeks and thought it would be good to revisit. As usual there was a cold wind, despite being sunny, and it was good to start dropping the steep and
