What is Plan B?
The best-laid plans can go awry. It happens to all of us from time to time. You set off to go somewhere, maybe an hour’s drive away, may be further afield for a photo shoot. It may be a place you’ve been to before and you have some particular images in mind to re-shoot or […]
Taking Chances
Do chances come your way? When was the last time you had a chance to take an unusual image and you missed it? Do you recognize chance, photographically speaking? Most of us like to exist in our comfort zones in many walks of life – we are risk averse. Risk is dangerous – things can […]
What’s the Story?
It is said that the camera never lies. In fact it can tell a cruel version of the truth all too clearly – think of all those images you will have seen of politicians, celebrities or other prominent people papped at their worst: asleep inappropriately, yawning, having a bad hair day, eating a bacon sandwich […]
A Valuable Archive
I must start with an apology as it is now a few weeks since I last wrote an entry on this blog. The truth is that I have been acquiring new images at a frantic pace, and that makes the title of this post particularly relevant. Every time you go out and capture a few […]

The First Spiral
Today’s image was taken very nearly fifty years ago. I had completed the first three years of my medical training at Cambridge and had moved down to London to continue my training at Guy’s Hospital close to London Bridge. I … Continue reading
Corrugated Light
When the tide goes out on a gently sloping sandy beach accompanied by a subtle on-shore breeze, and water gets trapped in the sand’s wrinkles, and the light is just right, then there are images to be found. This was shot … Continue reading
Corridor
It’s quite a while since I posted an image from my Print Archive, so here’s another one for you from 1972. Actually I should qualify that statement – the original image was taken in 1972. At the time I was … Continue reading
Leader of the Band
I’ve recently photographed another batch of my old 20 x 16 inch exhibition prints from thirty to forty years ago. It’s been a surprisingly successful and quick way to breathe life into old black and white work that otherwise might … Continue reading
Just Chatting
It’s a while since I posted an image from my old Print Archive. This image was taken at Budleigh Salterton on the South Coast of England in the late 1970s. It was late afternoon and our children were carefully selecting … Continue reading
The improbable ridge
Mountains attract drama. Mountains are also cloud magnets. The higher the mountain, the greater the drama. Click the image to see a larger and sharper version. This is the Almagellhorn (10,815ft) in the Saas Fee valley, Valais Alps, Switzerland. Not … Continue reading
Bridge
Music outdoors in the summer is an established feature across many countries. As I write Glastonbury is about to kick off – and it’s raining. It always rains for Glastonbury – mud is part of the experience. Forty years ago … Continue reading
Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Who remembers the ‘Small Faces’? They were a great British Rock and Roll band from the 1960s. One of their most famous songs was ‘Lazy Sunday’ [1968] and the chorus went: ‘Lazy sunday afternoon, I’ve got no mind to worry, … Continue reading
Chalk Furrows
Another quick post today. An unlikely looking field for cultivation, but the farmer had ploughed this chalky field and so presumably intended to plant a crop. This is another digitized print – the image would have been taken in Dorset … Continue reading
The Copse
A quick post today. Today’s image is the third in a series of images from my old Print Archive. To find out more about this series go to Categories in the Rt sidebar and click on Print Archive, or quicker … Continue reading
