I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately after my social accounts were compromised. It's taken some time to get everything properly secure again.

Anyway… I’m back with a moody London skyline. This latest image came from one of those “why am I doing this?” weather days on the Thames.

Some of the best images come from the worst weather. This February day on the Thames tested everything—biting wind, racing clouds, and rain that forced me to shelter my lens with a cleaning cloth while the shutter stayed open. But when the conditions turn difficult, that’s often when the atmosphere becomes undeniable. St Paul’s, the Walkie Talkie, the Gherkin, all standing firm beneath a stormy sky while the river smoothed into silk. The image went on to win second place in a competition, but what I brought home that day was something more: a reminder that showing up, even when it’s cold and wet and miserable, is how we find the moments worth printing.

Wishing my friends, family, and followers a very Happy New Year.

As the year turns, I want to thank everyone who supported my work, referred me, collaborated with me, or followed along. It truly means more than I can say.

I'm welcoming the new year with a clear head and steady focus.

Heading into 2026 with gratitude and appreciation for the trust I get to earn every day. Wishing you a healthy, grounded, and positive year ahead.

Happy New Year.

Thank you for sharing my work Broadway Baptist Church, Derby & Sue Millard 💛

Day 10: Waiting patiently
Sue Millard

READ: Psalm 37:7-9 (NIV)

Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.

For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

REFLECT

Recently, my friend, an award-winning amateur photographer* photographed the Shard. Firstly, she painstakingly identified the angle that would pull the viewer forward lifting their eyes towards the glass spire. Then she aligned the station canopy, the surrounding buildings and the wet platform without distracting from the tower. People, trains, the clouds and the rain cluttered the image.

By holding still for long enough, the moment eventually arrived when everything combined to create the perfect contrast between the architecture's bones and the weight of the sky.

My friend did not take or chase the winning shot, she earned it.

Waiting and trusting in God and finding strength in him in difficult times is a recurrent theme in the Bible. "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him" (Psalm 37:7-9).

Like award winning photos, God's love isn't taken or chased, it comes in time, with patience and sometimes with effort.

PRAY

Lord God, thank you for the promise of your unconditional love. Help us to choose each day to wait patiently for you, in the midst of our circumstances. Teach us to hear your voice, and to see your love at work in our lives and in the world. Amen.

This week marks one full year since I opened my Etsy Fine Art Photography shop, and I honestly can’t quite believe how far things have come.

When I uploaded that very first print, I never imagined that 33 people across the globe would choose to bring my work into their homes. Each sale has meant far more than just a number, it’s been a small step toward a bigger goal I’ve been working towards.

Every sale, every message, every bit of support has helped me move closer to the next step in my photography journey. I’m currently at 33 sales, and reaching 50 would help me qualify for the Elite Marketers programme in the art community I’m part of. It’s an opportunity that would give my work more visibility, guidance, and a real chance to grow.

To celebrate the anniversary (and hopefully reach that milestone), I’ve put the entire shop on sale:
✨ 30% off everything
✨ 35% off when you buy 2 or more, mix and match any size or material

If you’ve connected with my work, enjoyed following the journey, or simply want to support the next chapter, it would mean so much if you could:
💛 browse the Anniversary Collection
💛 purchase a piece if something speaks to you
💛 or share and favourite your favourites

Every single order helps me keep creating, keep improving, and keep pushing my photography further.
Thank you, truly, for being part of this first year.

A look back at one of my award-winning pieces: this London photograph ‘Dawn Of The Ages’ received a Bronze Award in the MPI International Imaging Competition. The contrast of old cobbles and modern glass is everything I love about London’s architecture. It continues to be one of my most requested images.

I’m excited to share that this black-and-white photograph of Tower Bridge has received an Honourable Mention.

Captured from one of the staircases leading onto the bridge, I loved the contrast, the symmetry, and the way the arch frames the tower above.

This piece will be available soon as a fine art print in my shop for anyone who loves dramatic London architecture. 🖤
