Power to the People
I have added a new set of images in the the Projects Gallery of some old and new work taken at nearby power stations. The project originated a few years ago, when I wanted to show that certain ‘blots on the landscape’ could be photogenic if you turn their ugliness upside down and use it to your benefit. Subjects in this category included power stations, electricity pylons and the modern energy resource, wind turbines. All these man made structures have been slated for their effect on the environment, as well as on the eye. Therefore my aim in the project, was to embrace them, rather than curse their existence on the landscape and show them as things of beauty by photographing them in a creative way. Check out the new gallery here and see if your perception changes at all on how you view these industrial giants from now on.

Best of spring project gallery
Although the cold weather and general lack of sunshine could deceive you, we are now well and truly into spring and everything that is due to sprout into life..has, if a little late for some things. As usual, I try to keep abreast as each element makes an appearance and photograph it before it disappears again, which can be very quick with some flowers. I started back in February with the snowdrops and have just finished with the oil seed rape that has turned every other field in sight into a mass of yellow. Most images have been taken within a few miles of home, which makes catching each species at its peak all the more easier, though I do travel to locations that excel in their displays of a certain flower, as well as try new locations around the country for new and exciting angles and compositions to keep images fresh and original each year.
Anyway, the best of this years examples can be found in a gallery of their own on the Projects Gallery page. Enjoy and don’t forget to get you own versions before everything disappears for another year.
