Good Friday
At Easter 2023 I spent a few days cycling in Dorset, exploring a few of my favourite places in the south of the county. Here is the first of a short series of articles on the each of the rides. On Good Friday I headed out east to explore some of the county’s literary and artistic associations.
Greenwich
A visit to Greenwich to explore some of its lesser know landmarks
Things I have carried with me
A short reflection on some of the objects that I have carried through my life. Could I ever get rid of them? Could the photographs I have taken of them replace them?
2022
The year has turned and we are all stepping tentatively into 2023. Before I travel too far into the new year I thought I would spend a little time looking back on the past year. This, therefore, is a short walk through each month of 2022.

I am always fascinated by the process of photographing; why I photograph and what actually goes through my mind as I choose to take a particular photograph.
New Year’s Day
I cycle; I stop; I photograph. A New Year’s Day ride to the corner of a quiet churchyard.
To the sea
Today a short reflection upon the sea
Decluttering

Looking at photographs
Take time to really look at photographs. It’s good for you and it’s good for your photography.
