2025-04-12 21:24:19 UTC
The Dark Night of The Soul is an aspect of life that we can all experience. There is no escaping it. To live is to have this experience - it's part of the game. It's a paradox that gives life its juice, we as humans provide the existential meaning to…

Everyday Moments
2025-02-23 00:17:43 UTC
I am really enjoying using my Nikon D7200 at the moment. It feels really lovely in my hands. As a DX Camera, it means my choice of Lens will give me a little more reach. I don't need too much reach because my images are simply within the range of…

The Things I See
2025-01-20 23:13:47 UTC
While I am not traveling at the moment, my images of late have been pretty much the same subject. Albeit at different times of day, they are not the same identical image. This keeps things interesting for me because it reveals a great sense of depth, context and mood for…

Seeing, Feeling & Expression
2025-01-02 20:00:40 UTC
The very heart beat of my image creation is emotion. How I feel about what I see is the impetus for me to create an image. Creating an image is a feeling I have that makes the moment Frame Worthy A frame worthy moment is a moment of magic that…

Joy of The Moment
2024-09-03 20:39:07 UTC
I'm working backwards from the last three months. My camera was stolen. The violation had an impact on me. While my camera was replaced, I was left feeling the impact and contemplating the real meaning and lesson to be learnt from such an experience. Maybe it was karma? I don't…

London is a very special place. I don’t take living here for granted. Photographing London is a very important part of my photographic discipline and practice. The vibe of London, like Paris or New York are the iconic Landmarks, the must photographic, I was here spots that communicate without questions…

January 2023 will forever be a reminder of saying good bye to my mother. I am heartbroken, in a still quiet way, not grief stricken to the point of immobilised inaction. Just this empty and meaningless existential reality I now find myself in. I am walking the dark night of…

Completing The Circle
2023-01-18 03:45:25 UTC
The image above was created by my Cousin Sumayah. When she sent me the image I was immediately struck by the poignancy of this moment. Mum carried me at the beginning. I carried mum at the end. The circle of life is complete. 🙏🏽🦋🙏🏽

My Fresh Vision Project is taking on a life of its own. Seeing, Feeling and Responding to life going on around me is the heart beat of this adventure. Fresh Vision is my access to stronger images. Stronger images mean becoming more proactive, fearless and engaging with the moment. This…

FV | A Celebration of Life

A fresh vision of life began with the transition of my Mother Her passing has created space of love for me to re-connect with our family. It began last night when my cousins Sumaya and Lauralee joined me at The Magic Circle to see my show. It was a great…

FV | Receptive to Life
2023-01-10 11:54:03 UTC
The death of my Mother has me thinking about about life in a particular way. I created this image about while on my way to The Funeral Parlour today. What’s the big deal about Ducks swimming on The Grand Union Canal? Nothing. I saw them and felt the presence of…

Humanism | The Expressive Being
2022-12-04 09:31:00 UTC
The Human Being is an expressive Being. This is our natural state. The context of a birthday celebration makes it easy for the human being to open up and express themselves. Humanism in photography is about the expression, the emotional content in the moment and the elusive gesture. I love…

Humanism | All The Worlds a Stage
2022-11-28 19:09:18 UTC
This famous qoute by William Shakespear sums up Humanism in Photography for me. “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts” On the stage of life, we play many roles.…

The title of the post is a big credit to Henri Cartier Bresson. My research in to Humanism in Photography has revealed a lot of inspiration from French Photographers. Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Robert Kapa and Brassai all excelled at this discpline. Life on the run conveys energy and…

Visual Communication
2022-11-04 04:55:05 UTC
Every image communicates a message, a feeling, a story. It all begins with me. What I see and then create is my story, the image, then becomes yours. What you see and how you feel goes beyond my reasons for creating the image. The best I can hope for is…

People
2022-08-25 22:07:17 UTC
As I was editing my images this evening, the theme of people hit me. At its very core, people make up the vibe of street photography. The Human element within the frame adds the gesture of life. The visual narrative hangs together by human expression. The thing that excited me…

The Big Question
2022-08-23 20:13:24 UTC
I am not sure there is an answer to this question. I am also thinking trying to unlock this question may be futile. This Journal entry is me having a conversation with myself about why I am doing this - creating images everyday. I never leave home without my Camera…

Between Worlds
2022-08-16 19:50:05 UTC
Seeing my mother like this has been one part sadness and another part fascinated observer. You read that right; I am observing my Mother in this last stage of her life. Don’t get me wrong, I could die before her, however, this experience has given me a unique opportunity to…

Life on The Canal
2022-08-15 09:36:15 UTC
How we choose to lives and express ourselves is a creative process, None more so than choosing to live on a Canal Boat or Barge. The Grand Union Canal is the backdrop to an extraordinary vision of creative expression. This part of London, Little Venice is a beautiful location and…

Light & Life
2022-08-13 20:32:07 UTC
I was pausing for a moment. Thinking; What shall I call this Journal Entry? I took a quick look at the images I created and felt “Light & Life”. Light & Life have a relationship. Life has flourished because of the life sustaining power of…….our always on Sun🌞. The Sun…

Beautiful Life
2022-08-11 22:11:42 UTC
As I watch my mother in hospital, at no time do I feel resentful towards this experience I am having. Life has presented me with an opportunity to dig deeper into this human narrative and seek out the beauty in this reality…..sad as it is. Let’s go back in time.…

Letting Go
2022-08-09 19:40:28 UTC
Life and Death represent the paradox Lao Tzu speaks of in his2nd Verse of The Tao Te Ching. Each create the other. Living this great paradox is part of the great way for all of us. Acceptance. Peace. Serenity. Equanimity. To be committed without attachment provides an access to letting…

35mm CF | A Little Piece of Heaven
2022-08-04 09:45:57 UTC
Learning to appreciate what we already have is a required skill right now. The information age has completely rewired our brains. This is the age of unlimited pattern interruptions, Dopamine Hits, excessive consumption and instant gratification. With my mother in hospital, holding onto life, I ask myself, “what is the…
