DONE!

I have lift off! I started the day with my longest 7.30am outdoor swim this year in the Serpentine, and finish the day to finally relaunch a new website build by moi! Well, this is the month of fresh starts and renewal after all.

Just came across this Polaroid of me. I recall it being taken when I was Art Editor based in London working on the US version of IKEAroom magazine but for legal reasons called IKEAspace. Not sure when it was taken outside Alexandra Palace, 1999 or 2000, I think. I was already dreaming of crossing over to photography and enrolled on the PgD in professional photography at Central St Martins, UAL, about four years before digital cameras would start to be a thing.

NEW WEBSITE COMING!

After my old website coming down at the end of last year, what better day to announce it’s arriving with a refreshed design tomorrow. Fingers crossed I figure out a couple of fiddly bits ☺️

Taught myself to design and rebuild it this past week. I am hoping it is a new beginning for me to fall in love with photography again. ###

This mornings wrestle for a feed 🥰🐾

Happy New Year! Festival Holiday time nearly over so seems appropriate to share a sweet moment of normal life behind the scenes. Finishing of the Christmas chocolates, lazy mornings reading in bed, cuddling kittens and the odd walk to the Heath.

May 2023 be full of adventure, creativity, kindness, good health, happiness and stay authentic!

Feliz Ano Novo - good friends in Portugal

Feliz año nuevo - para mi familia Cubanos

‘The sexiest people are thinkers’
Vivienne Westwood

RIP Vivienne Westwood (1941-2022)

An inspiration to so many designers past and present - A fashion pioneer’s pioneer - a visionary, a disruptor, playful and entertaining. Never editing yourself, you always spoke exactly what you felt at anytime.

I’ve always loved this Tim Walker Portrait of Vivienne and shown it often to my portrait photography students to demonstrate a simple clean set up that is all about the pose and gestures combined with meaningful appropriate props. Doesn’t she look beautiful.

Treat evening last night
where photographers Alys Tomlinson and Emma Hardy were in conversation with Carol Allen Storey to celebrate the publication of their new photo books by GOST books.

Super after too much time to catch up with both Carol and Alys that both studied post grad photography with me at St Martin. So pleased for them where their photographic journeys have taken them.

I could not resist purchasing both publications 💙💚- gorgeously produced photo books by . I will treasure them.

The family life images of Emma Hardy’s ‘Permissions’ are stunning quiet observations of her children and mother. I hear the silence and imagine their thoughts. Drawn in by the light and shadow in every image.

BY THE WATERS EDGE

4 January 2019, found myself exploring the south side but with my heart pounding taking myself, camera gear and tripod on a solitary exploration at dusk that soon dropped into darkness. Twigs and reeds crackling under foot as I made my way nearer to the water. Testing how close I could get without sinking through floating matter. Still and eerie.

On the far end of the water, east there stands a tall new block of flats that contributes further to disrupt an already fluky testing wind for racing. I stood silent gazing around contemplating is there an image to be taken here at all - then as the sun was touching the west horizon I saw the only thing to still be illuminated by its late glow was this distant façade to the east. Setting up my tripod on un-steady ground I shot a frame or two until the light was totally gone. Traces of the day by the waters edge dissolved.

Not sure why I found myself on Valentine’s Day walking early pushing my way through the twiggy leafless scrub hunting down visible marks left by the wind perpetually passing cross this open space. Just an any ol’ day for me I guess. Here I was intrigued by the worn path to nowhere. It left my head flooding with all sorts of imaginary storylines. I did not want to get closer in case someone was living in there, but rather liked the solitary white tree in the centre. A simple image merely recording observations and thoughts in the moment.

I seem forever drawn towards open water. These days as I do not sail so much I find myself slipping in to cold water mornings swimming amongst fallen autumn leaves. It is my happy place.

Through back to Oct/Nov 2918, I felt a pull that autumn as the day was trying to wake up to walk in the landscape around where I would sail 1-2 times a week. Always so driven to improve my sailing I missed a lot beyond my gaze to calculate the next gust and from what direct that was about to hit my boat.

On a slow meander along the shore I loved the daily changes to the same scene - sometimes a mediative silence and stillness. Other days the wind would streak and rip across the reservoir’s waters and scar through the land. It started out as just an early morning walk but as my attention sharpened to the narrative landscape around me I kept cursing myself not to have my camera in hand. It did not take long for a contemplative stroll to become a visual diary.

R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II ♥️
Elizabeth began her swimming career at the prestigious Bath Club when she was 10 years old, first learning the breaststroke and backstroke, and soon earning her first medal for swimming.
