After much consideration and doubt...

I will be exhibiting 76 images this coming August at Linden Hall Studio, Deal, Kent. Do join me at the private view to take place on Friday 5 July

After a frustrating couple of weeks, I managed to recover my vision: trees in Greenwich Park

Walking on the White Cliffs of Dover, looking towards France... The clouds and the Chanel

These images best exemplify my work... Here a selection of 33 of those images: 1- Imaginations 2- Landscapes 3- A Murder of Silhouettes 4- Still Life 5- Portraits Gallery views at the bottom

Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century gun tower situated offshore just east of Grain, Kent, standing in the mouth of the River Medway. It was built along the same lines as the Martello towers that were constructed along the British and Irish coastlines in the early 19th century and is the last-built example of a gun tower of this type. It owed its existence to the need to protect the important dockyards at Sheerness and Chatham from a perceived French naval threat during a period of tension in the 1850s. Rapid improvements to artillery technology in the mid-19th century meant that the tower was effectively obsolete as soon as it had been completed. A proposal to turn it into a casemated fort was dropped for being too expensive. By the end of the 19th century the tower had gained a new significance as a defence against raids by fast torpedo boats. It was used in both the First and Second World Wars, when its fabric was substantially altered to support new quick-firing guns.

Duality exemplified in this image: dark and light, permanence and decay, circle and square, symbolised by pairs: two pairs of flowers, two glasses, two pomegranates, one split in four...

Searching for an image amongst my negatives, I found these two images I had taken 41 years ago...

Archangel Cassiel, the domain of solitude and tears...
