After four years of the last template, I’ve decided to have a refresh of the site as WordPress have some interesting new ones available – I hope you like it! It’s less noticeable on mobile devices, you very much need to see it on a desktop or laptop to appreciate it. I’ve also taken the…

#480 – Millscapes Exhibition Preparation 2
Due to the quantity of mounts involved, I decided that cutting my own would take too long (it’s a laborious task) , so I decided to buy pre-cut mounts. I meant to order single mounts but as I was in a hurry to order them (during a 5 minute lunch break between meetings….) I ended…
#479 – Millscapes exhibition preparation
A few of the prints I’ll be mounting and framing this weekend and over the next week….. So there’s a couple of weeks to go before I set up the Millscapes exhibition at Saddleworth Museum, and I thought I’d do a post on the preparation. Unlike my previous exhibitions, this one contains photographs from just…
#478 – My next exhibition – ‘Millscapes’ at Saddleworth Museum and Art Gallery
I’m excited to announce that my next exhibition is at the lovely Saddleworth Museum and Art Gallery, opening on the 11th November and running until the 4th December. Unlike my previous exhibitions, this exhibition will be a display of the photographs I took of two Saddleworth mills – Bailey and Wellington – in 2007. Wellington…
#477 – Reduced price copies of The View From The North 2007-2017 book!
OK, so I’ve bought a few copies of The View From The North 2007-2017 book for sale at my talks, so it makes sense to try and peddle it here as well. If you buy it direct from Blurb it’ll cost £26 (plus 7 quid P&P) but I bought these during a discount offer so…
#476 – Telamon (Temple Hall) Shipwreck, Lanzarote 3
Last look at the Telamon, with a few in monochrome. I’d taken my ND filters to try some long exposures, as the weather forecast was for cloud. However it was a trifle windy and by the time I got there, the clouds had cleared but the wind hadn’t dropped, which didn’t make for ideal conditions…
#475 – Telamon (Temple Hall) Shipwreck, Lanzarote 2
There are numerous reports on the internet of plans to scrap the remains of the ship, with some quite definitive sounding plans from 2014 being posted: http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=90762#/topics/90762?page=1 There are implications on more recent webpages that the end is nigh, but as of my visit at the end of May 2017, no progress had been made….
#474 – Telamon (Temple Hall) Shipwreck, Lanzarote 1
Having recently photographed Merger at Glasson Dock, I was pleased to discover that just down the road from our holiday hotel in Lanzarote was the wreck of the Telamon. Given that there’s a limit to how much sitting by the pool I can tolerate (about an hour), I left my wife and daughter for an…
#473 – Derelict Ship at Glasson Dock 2
In the past, Glasson Dock has been used for ship breaking (and building) occasionally, so it may well be that Merger meets her end where she now lies. I visited primarily to try out an ND filter, but found that the tide didn’t rise high enough for me to get the pictures I’d envisioned, but…
#472 – Derelict Ship at Glasson Dock 1
I know nothing of this little ship, other than it used to be a dredger based at Glasson Dock. Named ‘Merger’, internet pictures show it with an excavator positioned near the bow, presumably for clearing the channels of the Lune for the coastal shipping that uses this small Lancashire Port. It looks like its service…
