The Dark (Rising) 2019 - 2024
Inspired initially by day for night techniques and the unsettling textures revealed.
The first monochrome works since 2001.
A departure, modern other-worldliness forced upon a traditional medium. A contemplative, scaleless place. An invitation for the mind to discover and then fill the gaps. Thinking space. Wonder. Darkness. Claustrophobia. Relief.

The Enthusiast, The Sceptic, Julia, The Eldest and The Youngest from World Bog Snorkelling Championships.
Waen Rhydd Bog, Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, Wales.
In 1976 Gordon Green the pub landlord, and a few regulars devised bog snorkelling over a pint in The Neuadd Arms, Llanwrtyd Wells, as a means to bring tourism back to Britain’s smallest town.
Competitors complete two lengths of a water filled trench cut through a peat bog, in the shortest time possible. They must wear snorkels and flippers, conventional swimming strokes are forbidden.
The charity event is always a media frenzy.
The best time when I visited was 1 minute 45 seconds.

High Street, Southend-on-Sea, England.
Four and a half years ago I was commissioned by Hogarth Worldwide via Global Assignment at Getty Images to photograph Southend pier for Santander. 
Pam who arranged for me to go out there had a very clear idea what my lunch should be, “you can’t go to the seaside and not have fish and chips.” As I parked up on a back street on my way to the chippy and then by a park I thought how pleasant it all seemed, and not at all what I expected. 
So a year ago we moved to nearby Westcliff-on-Sea. 
By way of closing the circle, a few days ago I popped into Santander and this is what I saw.
