Concepts, Thoughts and Discussions
“The biodiversity crisis is real and urgent. But – and this is the crucial point – it is not too late. To transition to a sustainable world, we need to tread more lightly on the planet. Until then, we are essentially robbing future generations of their inheritance.” Prof Andy Purvis, Natural History Museum, London.
(Purvis, The Guardian online 3.6.20)
My blog is a mix – some posts discuss the concepts behind my projects, others introduce you to my philosophies and passion in our changing world. These more discursive posts I intend to add to as the year progresses. Please do contact me with your comments.

2023 Another learning journey – iPhone!
Art Photography has become my creative outlet since my retirement. I have been fortunate to exhibit my work and delighted when a number of people have bought my prints.

February 2023. The story of rescuing a collection of 70 spools of cine film from 1930’s to 1980’s. Mid 2022 I was shocked to learn I had damage to my spinal cord in my neck. The damage could be from an accident many years ago but possibly aggravated by the kilos of camera equipment I…
