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 [...]

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 [...]
Polaroids from Florence

Just a little preview of a couple of those Polaroids that I mentioned in my last post. I think Italy is a perfect country for doing these “Polaroid Paintings” – the palette and style seem to fit perfectly. Or am I just trying to justify a return visit ?
The colours are very different to the [...]
The creative flow….

……..when it strikes you just need to hang on to it and keep going. Its taken me a very long time to realise that creative work doesn’t happen at a constant flow all the time. There are periods of intense activity followed by others where ideas seem thin on the ground. I’m trying to relax [...]

With a busy month behind me including some travel I’ve fallen behind a little – so this is the time to catch up again.
I’ve been shooting with my “last gasp” polaroid film. The colour is very different to the “normal” film I’ve been used to, but the faded vintage colours were perfect for Italy. There [...]
Rome in the Rain

This is probably my favourite “polaroid painting” so far. I’d intended to visit St Peter’s on this particular day. It was my first visit to Rome and I only had a tiny amount of time. The rain was lashing down and the queue snaked right round the piazza. I took the executive decision to take [...]
More Etsy research…

I have long been a fan of Claudine Hellmuth’s collage work, and the first thing I bought as part of my Etsy “research” was a little mounted print from her shop. A woman on a vespa ( well, what else, given my current Italian mood )
I wanted to make the picture link to Claudine’s Etsy [...]
