1. Sometimes you just need to decide to do something rather than wait for someone else to give you permission.
2. Once I’d decided to do the exhibition I had to break everything down into small steps.
I used a method inspired by Ariane Goodwin of the Smartist Telesummit. She advises mapping a time line in reverse , [...]
Gladstone’s Land and Old Town Favourites.

Gladstone’s Land is actually pretty well at the heart of the Old Town, situated on the section of the Royal Mile that is also called “Lawnmarket” and only a few minutes down the hill from the castle. The name of the house comes from a 17th century merchant Thomas Gledstane who had a shop on the street level. [...]

When I was in London a couple of weeks ago, shooting city number 7 in my “12 City Project” I hit [...]

Yesterday finally saw the exhibition opening. Because of the timing of the exhibition changeovers we decided to open on the Tuesday during the day and then have a Private View in the evening. It all went really well and hopefully the visitors enjoyed seeing the results of all the hard work too. We both sold a [...]
Exhibition Opening Tomorrow !

A lot of hard work today to get the exhibition hanging. I’d tried to plan it in advance, but it is still difficult to visualise the space properly until you see the images in situ. The space itself has a lovely “feel” – largely because of the wonderful 17th century features such as an original [...]

The 12 City Project has had to take a little bit of a back seat for the last couple of weeks while I finish the final preparations for my exhibition next week. It is going to be held in a Gallery on the upper floor of Gladstone’s Land on the Royal Mile. The building has [...]

Polaroid film is on my mind at the moment. I am not alone in this….
I’ve used and loved various polaroid films over the last few years but my favourite has always been the SX-70 film. I have two cameras that I use for shooting plus various additional lenses and then my supply of various [...]
