Loneliness

From Mind to Screen

Problem Solving
I know that many of you will not consider my recent uploads to here to be photography. As readers of my blog will know, that was certainly true of the other photography community where I was a member. I say "was" because I got banned for uploading no...

Al Capone reborn
Remember all the films about American gangsters - Al Capone, Lucky Luciano etc. Think Boardwalk Empire and you will get the picture. Well that is an era that has always fascinated me. I have always been interested in Social History. Even at schoo...

Desperately seeking style
It has been an unusual year for me. I have really moved towards digital art, sometimes to the extent that i felt I had to upload the odd "real" photo just to remind myself and others that I can still shoot a decent image. Otherwise it has been a case...

Old Masters
Those of you who have viewed my entries onto this blog will have gained the impression that I love anything new and digital. That is true, but I also have a soft spot for some things much older. In terms of images I like things going back to the days...

The Church Across the Road

Today I posted an image onto the gallery. It was part of last week's Project 52 task, where the theme was abstract. I called it spider's web. There were a few images in this series, all based on an initial starting image ( the task I set myself ) I w...
