For our fourth interview I'd like to introduce Lys, a famous Paris based artist and designer, who works with La Marelle, a superbly hip publishing company! These are to be found in the best card shops world wide, or can be ordered online HERE . First of all can you...
Caught in the Lights
Something a bit different today! I produced this image for a challenge over at our Man Ray group on Flickr . The starting image was a photo of a French gatehouse or pigeonair provided by Paul. After a bit of thought I decided to do a night scene with a car on a...
steps at the end of the beach
Whilst looking for other things I came across this old beach picture from a Thailand trip a year ago. I'm not sure where it was shot, perhaps its same The Beach movie location again! At night Martine and I would walk barefoot home from town, holding our sandals in the...
Snow Seeds
Happy May Day! For a slight backward step, as I produced this image several weeks ago, when still experimenting with the new Fly Edges. It's always a leap of faith when trying something you've never done before. I'd taken these last snows of the year pictures, and had...

A little late lunch
Hanmer springs is a lovely alpine village famed for its beautiful natural hot springs, it also has some great tracks to walk and cycle. I spotted this guy -a mule if I'm not mistaken, when we were out for a walk. He wasn't going to stop eating for anything, or come...

Iris
Last week, armed with a piece of black card, I took the dog a walk to our local Park of the poets to photograph iceland poppies, thankfully as the wind was low I managed several acceptable shots. See it on Flickr . Later, at the duck pond I took a few experimental...
