Overview Wet, windy November
Autumn in the Chilterns has quite stunning and has only just been ‘blown-away’ by some pretty disagreeable weather. Pictures are being processed and will appear in the next 2-weeks. With Christmas looming - did you know that it’s in December again this - year and only 4 weeks away, my photography will have to remain local. January and February 2011 will be the months for the coast and I’ll be in Sussex and South Wales working to capture the energy and space of the coast in winter. Why not join me and work off your Christmas pudding?

Do you have those times when your best laid plans - or are they intentions - get splattered by life? Nothing too serious but you find yourself asking ‘where did all the time go?’ Well, it happened to me in December and January; the splattering effect was enhanced by the fact that I had just acquired a Ricoh 100GX camera and a 210mm lens for the large format and I had plans to use them. I’ll be using the Ricoh as a viewfinder / compositional device for the 5” x 4”. The Ricoh has been used and promises to be a great addition to the 20kg backpack! The 210 is still in it’s box.
Plans for February are mixed; The South Coast is a must before the position of the rising & setting sun move too far to the North and locally, the gravestones of the dogs owned by the Disreali family. I also have ‘pencilled in’ a trip to the Highlands; Culnacraig is a repeat of November’s visit which was disappointing weatherwise so this inspirational landscape beckons.
Developing Vision & Style really does live up to its title. There’s lots to look at and simply enjoy - some truely magnificent pictures - and some thought provoking commentary. What is Vision? What is your Style? You do have one whether or not you see it for yourself. I believe that WHO YOU ARE fuels your Vision of the world and partly dictates your style. But more of these thoughts in March.
