One of the ways to get a slightly more unusual shot is to look for a high or low angle on something. So a regular approach in each city was to find a high view point and shoot some Polaroids from there. I couldn’t resist also trying out the film function [...]

I am not keen on winter. Or rather , I used to not be keen on winter. I don’t want to throw a whole chunk of the year into the bin anymore though. So I am determined to really like winter ! For the last few years I have deliberately peppered the winter months with [...]

Rather than working through each city one at a time I’ve been dipping in and out of different cities and processing whichever image appeals to me that day. Some images take a lot longer to colour correct than others. I’m still waging the battle against “creeping green” and now and again also against phantom dots. [...]
12 City Project – Budapest Polaroid

Processing processing – that’s what’s going on here. Trying to get the best out of the Polaroids I’ve taken over the last year. Actually this project has given me a huge amount of material to work with – not just the Polaroid photos but also all the other images I shot while I was on [...]

I am quite enjoying that my travel schedule has become a little less hectic now that I’ve finished shooting the “12 City Project”. And one of the things that I’ve learned in [...]

Slight respite after a couple of busy weeks. Next things on the agenda are the exhibition which will open in Ullapool on the 28th of August. ( If you are in the area and would like an invitation to the opening leave me a comment or send an email). And then to Tallinn, the last city [...]

One of my absolute favourite places is the Gellert Baths. Show me a bit of faded grandeur, preferably Art Nouveau style , combine it with a swimming pool and hot springs and you’ll have no bother from me for a while. For a couple of blissful seasons I led tours to Romania which flew in [...]
A Taster from the Budapest Polaroids…

Quick post today as I’ve been spending all my time processing. These Polaroids continue to be tricky. I do miss the other more straight forward film, but this is the film I have to use now.
This street is on the Buda side of the city – called Gul Baba Utca . The cobbled street leads [...]
Budapest – a little update.

So, city number 10. I am slowly getting towards the final run. I thought that Budapest might be quite a gentle city to do – I have been here before and already have my bearings. Or so I thought. Actually I realise that I don’t know the city that well after all – a lot [...]
