Black + White :: Gallery of West Wales

Mam Natur – Bliss unigedd

Having lived at the top of a Welsh mountain for the last year, recording windswept, isolated vistas – I have been fortunate enough to put together a portfolio of gallery images to be shown and shared. The sculptured spirituality of the barren landscapes captured in the stark imagery gives me a sense of calmness, emotional release and is a welcome contrast to previous work.

I felt very lucky – even blessed – to have the time to take such wonderful images, wander the countryside and glory in the light and weather that this unique part of Pembrokeshire has to offer. Thank you to Mother Nature to allow me to roam free in this very special part of West Wales.

The DNA of a city

Optical art vistas on my doorstep at night . . .

I am lucky enough to live slap-bang-wallop in the City of London. And from my balcony I have an ever changing night scape of optical art. So much for energy saving light bulbs and and the ever decreasing energy reserves on this earth - when it comes to city commerce and the investment banking world - they pay to keep shining all night long! How long will that last - I wonder . . . ?

Vintage vista - a lost view of Bunhill Fields

Time stopped still one February snowbound morning. . . .

It was Valentines Day and this passing view captured life and death. The contrast between the children’s footprints left in the snow from a running game of snowballs chasing around a tree . . . to the silent undisturbed snow covered graves behind the wall in the cemetery next door.

The scene is a favourite of mine - Bunhill Fields in the City of London. This view is no longer visible unfortunately. A passing image of London life as it once was from 1960 - 2016 when a school and its playground was sold by a London council for property development.

Thankfully residents and local action groups helped make Bunhill Fields a protected World Heritage Site.
Sometimes - unless you cherish and care for it . . . you just don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
