Man of Silver


Wind torn snow
Eddies around
the Iron Men.
Clinging to their form
Creating a silvery sheen 
To the cold iron.

Sculptural Beauty of Snow


Snow clings to the trees
Highlighting their form 
Living sculpture
In the landscape.

Beech Trees in the snow

Snow has fallen.
Tall and statuesque,
The beeches,
Outlined in white
Etched against the landscape.

Hipstamatic, John S Lens, Ina's 1969 Film

Favourite Beech Trees


Experimenting with the new Tinto Lens
my favourite beech trees
in the local park glow
green in the low winter sun.

New Hipstamatic Combination


The new release from Hipstamatic, a good recreation of the daguerreotype black and white plate and ideal for available light portraits.

The same Hipstamatic pack used for this portrait taken by the light of a table lamp, this time using the cyanotype colour plate film.

Low sun, long shadows


I love the way the low sun
sends shadows racing across the grass.
Winter mists define the light.
