Glastonbury, minus the festival
Posted on June 28th, 2010
Well the annual exodus from the Glastonbury Festival site is well underway here in Somerset. I didn’t go to the festival this year but I did head out with some friends to watch Glastonbury Tor being illuminated as part of the festival’s 40th anniversary. Sadly the power cable to the lights was slashed that night [...]

Overdue spring/summer update
Posted on May 26th, 2010
April and May seem to have flown by and I’ve been able to get some great new work branching out from my local area. A couple of weeks ago I had time to explore Dartmoor and the Brecon Beacons. Before that I was hunting misty spring sunrises around Somerset. So, working from the top: Crook [...]

Cheese and Fairytales
Posted on March 5th, 2010
It truly feels like spring is in the air at the moment. February has been a pretty good month and March is looking promising.
I spent some time exploring Burrowbridge at the start of the month, looking for interesting views of Burrow Mump. The moors around the mump are interesting but pretty difficult to work with I think. Because the land is so flat it’s hard to find interesting compositions for photographs.
The Billy Palmer Chronicles book cover
Posted on February 15th, 2010
I recently received the finished copies of the book “The Billy Palmer Chronicles” by Derek Johns. Portobello books contacted me as they wanted to use my image Holy Sunrise as the background for the book cover. I was really pleased with the way they’ve used it and edited in a boy reading a book under the holy thorn. I have taken a photo of the finished book so that you can see it!
