Fungus

Vik and I walked around our garden today in the short hours that I wasn't working. All I can say is that fungus was found, amazing colourful weird alien fungus. A great day.

Horse

On the way to the train station I walk passed a field with this amazing horse in it. Early morning light streaming accros the Cumbrian hills nearly blinded me, a nice moment of reflection as I stood still becoming a human tripod letting the image pass in front of me and the camera.

Brief Encounters with my camera


For those of you wondering what I am doing at the moment below is a short outline of a up and coming project called 'Points of Reference' apart from that I am working madly on various projects with young people all around the (Cumbrian) county. I will update shortly with news as soon as my new Laptop arrives :-).

Please join the flickr group! and add your images.

POINTS OF REFERENCE

An onboard and online collective photography workshop. Help create a series of black and white mosaic portraits of passengers using an image bank of landscape photography all taken from the windows of trains and at stations. The artist will be travelling around the Bay throughout the festival engaging and enlisting members of the public to participate in the project. Don’t forget to take your camera or cameraphone on your next walk or train journey and get snapping!

Find out how you can contribute your pictures of the coast and countryside and see the results of his activities at www.flickr.com/groups/points-of-reference

The Road to Whitehaven

Vik and I go over the top of the Wrynose and Hardknot passes that lead to Whitehaven. The last invasion of the British Mainland occurred in Whitehaven in 1778 when John Paul Jones, father of the American Navy, invaded the port

An other interesting fact is that Viks grandfather used to open the gates for the landed gentry in this area, before having to relocate the family to London docks when the mines shut down.
