PHOTOGRAPHING THE WORLD, AS I SEE IT.

  • London Shaped

    London Shaped

    When you close your eyes and think of London, of the shape of the city, the architecture… do you visualise St Paul’s? I do. What did this image teach me? This photo was taken several years ago, and I would like to go back and try this again, perhaps with more going on in the…

  • The Sand Coloured Skyscrapers

    The Sand Coloured Skyscrapers

    These tall buildings can be found in the JBR region of Dubai. What did this image teach me? I am a fan of lens flare, though I know lots of people are not.

  • The Light on the Leaf

    The Light on the Leaf

    The darkness of the tree on the left, contrasted with the light on the leaves towards the right, appealed to me. What did this image teach me? Sometimes all it takes is a little light on a leaf.

  • Swimming Lines

    Swimming Lines

    I found this pair of somewhat abstract shots of a swimming pool, just waiting for me in my archive. What did these images teach me? I must be going through something of a Mondrian phase (I’m sure it won’t last)

  • Burrow Mump

    Burrow Mump

    As you will probably know already, this is perhaps my favourite location to photograph, and I having been visiting here for many years. What did this image teach me? This shot was originally taken seven years ago, and lost in the archive ever since; so it taught me to never stop searching through old photos…

  • The Clock Tower Over The Stables

    The Clock Tower Over The Stables

    This clock tower stands at Kingston Lacy, a National Trust property in Dorset. What did this image teach me? There’s a café under there, where the stables used to be.

  • The Curl of the Fern

    The Curl of the Fern

    Here’s another fern themed image, this time showing the plant in its curled up state. What did this image teach me? Last time I revealed the life cycle of the fern, this time I learned that ferns first appeared in the fossil record around 360 million years ago – which means that ferns have lived…

  • Green

    Green

    I have no idea what type of plant this is, but I really like the shape. What did this image teach me? Mother Nature knows how to create some beautiful shapes.

  • Dark Fern

    Dark Fern

    Ferns are an ancient type of plant, so old in fact that they pre-date the seed (they have spores instead). What did this image teach me? The life cycle of a fern, everybody… The life cycle of a typical fern proceeds as follows: A diploid sporophyte phase produces haploid spores by meiosis (a process of cell division which reduces…
