How useless am I…

I have neglected you… The countdown fizzled out on here but kept going in the real world and I am now 4 days into my first little exhibition and it’s been amazing. My images have been so well received and all feedback has been extremely positive. I think this could possibly one of the best things I’ve ever done…

And it’s now *Little Green Man season in Wiltshire too… Good days!

I think I’m going to do a bigger post closer to the end of the week with details and pics and I might have a spin around and get some shots of the other participants… There’s 330 of us. If you fancy a ganders at what we’re up to have a look at the Wylye Valley Art Trail website.

And if you’re local, pop along. It would be great to see you. If you’re not local, still pop along, it’s well worth the visit and this part of the world is looking gorgeous at the moment.

*Artists with planks and grumpy farmers Season

Sometimes…

The world provides the drama. Just sit back and enjoy.

Seven days to go!

11 days to go…. Simple…

Prints are in situ and now all I need to do is arrange where the hell I’m going to hang them all… The nerves are kicking in slightly and I’ve got so much to do. Best I sit here have a beer and edit a photo from a couple of weeks ago in the Chalke Valley then… I am so my own worst enemy…

I WILL have them in place and everything’s going to be amazing! ;o)

….14….

The most exciting photo I’ve ever taken…Just 13 moments but 13 moments made real!

Here’s to the moments still to come!

De Lion!

It’s the simple things in life that matter. The simple things have taken 4 billion years to get simple so marvel in them.

….16…..

As you can see I’m really working on my soon to be (really) here exhibition…

This was the view from my office this lunchtime while I was doing my real job, pesky real job, putting me in all these wonderful locations around Wiltshire and distracting me so much that I need to get a 4 photo panorama of Roundway Down near Calne. A neolithic hill fort with commanding views across Devizes and a large swathe of the Wiltshire countryside. The light was hard, hence the B&W edit but I like! ;o)

18 Days to go…

And I’m piss arseing about with puns on top of a hill…

Kids With Goats! Gorillas finest tune! Cheers Damon! ;o)

19 Days and Counting…

Prints are printed, mounted, signed and framed and I should be sitting here thinking about prices, descriptions and worrying about Peeps through the door but, man, tonight’s sunset was just spectacular! The light was changing by the second and this composition has been begging for the right light for months!

And, if you’re wondering what I’m blathering on about in regards to prints I’m exhibiting at the end of May in a local art trail. I’m really looking forward to it. Have a ganders at my website for more info and forgive me for going on about it over the coming weeks.

Inspiration…

When it’s not there it’s a bit of a bugger but that’s the great thing with having a quite extensive back catalogue, you can go back to the great moments and give them a bit of a tweak and it makes you yearn to get back out there…

I need to rediscover myself and a second from the new years day sunset in Tresaith is pushing me in the right direction… ;o)

Family Portrait….

A cautionary tale…

Cows in a field: OK, but be aware…

Cows with calves in a field: Still ok but be aware and take a wide birth, don’t get between them…

Cows, calves and dad in a field…Get the portrait!

From the next field over… ;O)
