A beautiful find in Lyon, this courtyard building with a six floor stairway. Lyon is known for its 'trabules', secret passageways which resistance networks used in days gone by to escape surveillance. On the outside, it connects three streets at three different heights and I loved its unapologetically harsh geometric beauty ☺️

It’s World Photography Day today, so I thought I’d share the image where my creative photography adventure began.

Taken in the British Museum in May 2021, this beautiful room was unusually quiet, with just one person sitting in the middle. I was drawn to the light streaming through the windows, and to the wonderful symmetry and geometric lines throughout the room.

The image was created from a single photograph and, at the time, I did nothing other than a basic edit to it. It lay on my hard drive for almost a year until I came back to it and began experimenting in Photoshop, manipulating it extensively until I arrived at this final version☺️

This is a talk you don't want to miss, a rare opportunity to hear Rikki O'Neill talk, on the wonderful Camversation platform. 19th August at 7pm.

Rikki's work is absolutely stunning and I am so pleased he's coming to share it with us!

Puffins! We got a lovely summers day on our annual trip to the Isle of May a couple of weeks ago. I did not know that boat trips could be so smooth 😅 And a peregrine falcon even made an appearance at the end of the day ☺️

Nice to visit the Falkirk Wheel last week and see the RPS Landscape Groups travelling exhibition in person - it has been up and down the country and is now in its final position here in Scotland until 21st June. Thanks to Viv Cotton for organising and Jacquie Sweeney for the photo ☺️

Some images from my new project, The Transient City.
As I have wandered the city in recent years, I can't help but think about how transient it all is.
The constant flow of human presence through spaces that endure long after they have moved on
On my last trip to London, I was looking for different things rather than the recognisable landmarks and cityscapes I am usually drawn to.
This time I looked for light, movement, and anonymity. Busy spaces contrasting with the quiet moments before the rush.
The Transient City.

A wee article I wrote for my camera club, Dundee Photographic Society’s magazine, Focus, about Matera, which I visited last October.
