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 […]

Here’s his video: He describes negative space as ’empty as opposed to filled’ space. Quite coincidentally I found myself creating some images with negative space by
I was invited by the Farndale Countrywomen’s Association last night to do a talk about photography. I arrived a bit early just to have a little walk. It was really chilly with a keen wind, so I took a fast trot along the road and just captured some interesting farm buildings before getting back to
