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.

Lake District – Records and Experimentation

October 2021 Recently an edit of my ‘Project Unseen’ was included in a virtual exhibition curated by Duke University, USA.

2021 JULY Re-Wilding Photography
Re-wilding land and photography!
