The photographs are organised into several broad sections eg. 'Retro', or 'Local', reflecting areas of interest to me. Each has its own introductory page.
You will find a brief introduction to each section below.
Clicking on the links above, or the images below, will take you to the section pages with selected photographs, and comments.

SECTION - NATURAL SELECTION

Several albums of images utilising the aesthetic opportunities offered by plants and trees. NATURAL SELECTION PAGE

SECTION - TRACES

Images which focus on the visible remnants or remains of former human activity. These range from castles to mansions to landscapes in which there are traces of some former, often industrial, now abandoned, activity. These are often being reabsorbed by their surrounding environment. All rather romantic really.TRACES PAGE

SECTION - LOCAL

Images which point to individuality and the development of local distinctiveness and culture is the general idea. LOCAL PAGE
A variety of themes: Local events, landscapes, Townscapes, and architecture.

SECTION - ALTERED IMAGES

Images arising from taking deliberate advantage of the opportunities digital technology brings, either in camera, or in post processing.
Most often with aesthetic, but occasionally with expressive and/or polemic purport.
Also some attempts at digital restoration.ALTERED IMAGES PAGE
