Grand Tour: a major new travel photo addition, this part of the site documents a 5-week tour, in 2008, of 20 towns and cities with classical music connections, in Austria, Germany, the Czech Rebublic and Poland. With more than 1,300 images and 40,000 words of text, putting it together has kept me busy for several months since my return...
The rest of the site is a display of creative and travel photography from 30 years ago to the present, plus trekking and hillwalking photos of the wild landscape of Iceland, the Pindos Mountains of north-western Greece, the High Atlas mountains in Morocco, and the peaks and fells of the English Lake District.
I use that awkward word 'creative' on the site, for want of anything better, to mean photos for their own sakes, pictures which might have some meaning (for me, anyway) or might end up on a photo exhibition wall, or on show at a camera club.
Photography was initially jusr an interest for me, then became a serious hobby, and finally turned into a part of my working life in one way or another. Many of the images on the site are available hi-res for commercial or editorial use; some are now available as prints. |
The other main sections of the site are:
Photography: a collection of galleries, most of them now of creative digital photography and other photos from recent years, but a fair bit of earlier work as well, including my successful panel for Associateship of the RPS (Royal Photographic Society), way back when...
Trekking: Photos from two-week treks in the superb wild landscape of Iceland, in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, and in the Pindos mountains of northern Greece, with some diary notes and comments on the treks...
Lake District: Over 90 photos of the English Lake District, in different seasons and under differing weather conditions, grouped into five main walking areas. Some are now available here as prints...
'Postcards': A section intended for general travel photography; currently featuring pictures of the very attractive Greek island of Symi...
With always too much to do, the site is not kept up-to-date as well as it should be, but with the first draft of the Grand Tour now finished, I hope to do better! |
