I do use digital cameras, on the odd occasion – these images were all made using iPhone 8+ and Nikon D610. All images were edited using VSCO desktop (which has now been discontinued, apparently)

Monday 16th April – I really should start making notes in between posting blog articles – I’ll normally be in bed, or driving through the night when I think of something interesting or amusing to write about… but by the time it comes to actually writing something, like now, I’ve forgotten everything and I end-up posting something half-arsed. Like now… I actually forgot what day it was this morning, I had to check my phone to see if it was […]

We’ve only been in Norway since the early hours of Wednesday morning, but it feels like we’ve been here weeks. This may have something to do with the three-day, 2200 mile drive, stopping only for coffee, toilet breaks and to have a snapped exhaust fixed somewhere just outside Hamburg, Germany. The great thing about travelling in a camper van with an extra driver is that you can alternate driving and sleeping without ever having to stop anywhere for too long. […]

I’ve been in Tokyo for the last two weeks, which is why my blog has been quiet. I shot a lot of film while I was there, mostly on my little Olympus MjuII compact – I did take my Nikon F100 and a couple of lenses, and a Fuji X100T digital compact, but after a couple of days hauling even a relatively small bag around I admitted defeat and left the hotel every morning with just the compact and my […]

Monday 9th November, Ullapool, Scotland – It’s a good job I enjoy driving, because I’ve done a lot of it during the last 6 weeks, over 6,000 miles so far. In the 4 days since I left Calais, I have driven almost the entire length of England and Scotland, a distance of about 700 miles on the road. After leaving France late on Thursday, I dropped my friend/assistant off at her home in South London in the early hours of […]

October 4th, Rellue, Spain – After an epic, almost none stop, 600 mile drive from my parents in France on Sunday we arrived in southern Spain. Friends from the Isle of Man have a villa rented for two weeks in the small mountain village of Rellue, just north of Benidorm. I’ve done the drive south across Spain from San Sebastian to Valencia a few times now and the landscape seems to get more vast every time I do it. The […]

“It’s not the camera that makes the photograph, it’s the photographer” – or is it? I recently read an article in The British Journal of Photography… it was an interview with Magnum photojournalist, Raymond Depardon. The veteran French photographer – now in his early 70s – was asked, “What are your fears now?” His answer surprised me, considering he is rated as an A-lister in the world of photography… but, at the same time, I totally related to it. “As […]

I like walls… I don’t know what else to say about that really? Walls are great for holding roofs up and putting doors and windows in, but on a more personal level, I like walls because they make great backdrops for portraits. Walls also prevent my subjects from running away in the opposite direction.

I sent a batch of films off to be developed in Germany about three weeks ago – they were supposed to be developed and scanned, the negatives hermetically stored and the high-resolution files emailed back to me, all within 10 working days. This has not been the case. This isn’t the kind of tardy, lacklustre performance I’d expect from our super-efficient Euro-neighbours, but then I realised that half the population of Germany are here on the Isle of Man, watching […]
