There is only one world; the world pressing against you at this minute. There is only one minute in which you are alive; this minute here and now. The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.
After a long illness , It is good to see your work again Allison. More so to find that you continue to head the B&W challenge. sincere best wishes, great portfolio. Eric.

Hi - a rather tardy thank you to Steve and Dicky for commenting on my portfolio :)
I've not played with the smoke machine for ages I'm afraid - I generally only have Sundays free nowadays and sadly it's just not enough time to do all the things I want to do :(

beautiful pictures and the work spent on them is wonderful.
How's the smoke machine going? Should give a haze machine a go, picks out light brilliantly (I used to be a theatre tech).

Thanks Alex and Richard :)
It seems to be non-stop still life pics at the moment but they're quicker, and easier, to do than the silly self portrait stuff. I'll diversify again soon I'm sure - I've new masks that need to be played with and now the weather is somewhat warmer I might be more inclined to dress up and play!
I still love doing the still life though - especially as I seem to be picking up new bits and bobs on an almost daily basis at the moment!

Your imagination and the way you implement it leaves me speechlessness !!!
Almost every single image you create is a work of art on its own. It is very obvious that you have full control of the light , and that makes every picture look the way you saw it in your mind.
Amazing work , that must be published .
Bravo !!

You know, I'm looking at this profile today of all the fruit & veg, and just thinking Wow, this is at least on a par with some of the best still life work I've ever seen on epZ. And there is also way more great subject areas you are excellent at as well. You have a lovely profile. Wow.

Thanks again folks for your comments and apologies for the delay in responding - I can't offer up any good excuses apart from constantly being distracted by this and that :)
I had vaguely planned to play rather more over this bank holiday weekend but it didn't happen - that said, I have blitzed the 'studio' so once again I can actually move in there and see what I've got. Hopefully that will lead to more daft stuff appearing!

Alison, there are only a few portfolios on this site that are truly inspiring and you are definitely on top. Love your work, I am so jealous of your ideas and implementation. You rock!

I have to say Alison, that I have never seen a display of work like it.
It is utterly phenomenal.
Much of it I just do not understand. But that detracts in no manner from the quality of your work.
You are undoubtedly one of those to whom I referred :-
“Some people talk about their chosen subject and almost from the moment they first speak, you know that they know exactly what they are talking about. Viewing their work merely confirms their right to address the subject in such an authoritative manner.”
Wacky that you term 'silly'. But it's wacky with a quality which I'm sure many would give their fortune to possess.
And your photographic skill is indisputable.
I consider it a privilege to view it.
Oh, and by the way, I think I've identified the tee-shirt :D:D

A rather late and apologetic thank you for all your comments - loony ideas are in short supply at the moment (mostly due to other photo projects) but I'm hoping the silliness will return soon!
No comment on Tattoos :)

My imagination has been in short supply of late but hopefully it'll perk up soon - I think I need to study my masks and see what I can come up with :)

I have just discovered your portfolio, and it is a real eye opener. I wish you could bottle your imagination, because I would take a case ! And a very talented photographer to boot. Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you Andy - I do appreciate your comment.
My uploads at the moment are a bit scarce but that's due to my being in Edinburgh on holiday at the moment. Normal service will be resumed on my return home - I've ideas ready to try out :)

Wonderfully creative images. I am coming to the end of my love affair with photography so it is really good to see a younger generation producing such beautifully crafted pictures. May your imagination and creativity just go on and on. Andy

A rather late thank you to everyone who has commented here :) I do enjoy my camera - sometimes I use it seriously but most of the time it's purely for fun :)

Thanks everyone for your comments :) A slightly eclectic collection at times but it's what keeps me interested!
@ Richard - My sister lives in Winchcombe and does a lot of work for the castle so I'm lucky enough to get free reign to wander around the castle grounds out of season :)

Alison, Your Pf contains, yes Inspirational work, Things that I will never get to do on my compact. Thanks for your kind words on my photo
' J for Jam' I only put it on because nobody was keeping the alphabet going, I had stopped putting up, because I had put up 14 shots and only
2 had received comment, and they where not helpful at all. Sincerely yours Eric. Ps, I hope your cave now has light restored.

Thank you Jason :) I may as well be living in a cave at the moment - working by lamps and living in gloom since Thursday evening but fingers crossed light will be restored on Monday and I'll be able to see what I'm doing!

I've just looked at 'and again...' and remembered I've seen a little of your work before. So have just had a look at your portfolio and you have some brilliant shots here. Your self portraits and form studies are excellent, inspirational actually. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Al
Thank you :) I'm a little short on ideas at the moment - I'd like to expand the bandaged head shots but am hoping that inspiration will strike soon! That or find something else to cover my face with.....
Eventually I plan to get a mould made of my face so I can really go to town with 'interesting' masks and wotnot - probably not until the autumn though!

Hi - thank you again peeps for your comments. I seem to be drifting somewhat at the moment - too much decorating and not enough photography going on but it's all good fun whichever I'm doing!

I love your portfolio - your flower shots are second to none & love the work you have done with the flowers and Lucis. This really is stunning work.

Thank you Allie - I think I wobbled a bit tonight but then that's Woody for you :-)
I've had a good day's photography today so hopefully there will be lots more to come

Thank you Liz - and Adrian!
I'm pleased I'm still managing to produce shots that people enjoy despite my currently spending more time with a paintbrush in my hand decorating than a camera :) Roll on summer when I have more Osteos to play with Liz - for now I'll have to bore everyone witless with Tulips!

Thanks Will and Stephen - I'm very pleased to hear that my endeavours provide inspiration - I must be doing something right :-)
I do tend to drift from one subject matter to another - keeps me interested!

Woody has been somewhat neglected of late I'm afraid - just so many projects to fit in and he sadly hasn't featured much. Still, I continue to carry him around when out taking pictures and will come up with some more eventually. I love the fact that I'm 'left field' - I think I do have a slightly odd sense of humour and that suits me just fine :-)

Just checked out your portfolio and love woody's own page. Slightly left field but well taken with lots of imagination - I'm sure someone would buy them or even commision a series on a specific theme. Keep up the great work.

Hi Andy and thanks for stopping by!
Ah - I'm not sure the great Woody is good enough for publishing but I am toying with the idea of some greetings cards maybe? I must put my mind to it sometime!

Hi Alison.
Thanks for looking at my work and for giving me my first RC. Much appreciated.
You have a very fine PF and I see you are not afraid to use a variety of techniques.
One that caught my eye was the "cheat" IR. I have been meaning to try IR for ages but have never gotten round to it. I was interested in your technique. Do you simply canibalise a floppy disc or can you buy the material somewhere?
Keep up the good work.

Hi Alison,
I can't believe I've not commented on your P/F before now.
I'm always looking through it, it gives me inspiration.
You have a wonderful variation, flowers, animals & so much more, & Woody & his friends of course, & your sense of humour.
I look forward to seeing many more of your pics.
Have a pat on the back from me.

ECs eh Sylv ? - I can't see that happening somehow. I did manage an HC once and was very chuffed with that I must admit. More than anything I'm just relieved to get my first click and comment when I upload a picture :-)
