Bit of a long and sad post but bear with me. If you cba reading the whole lot, everything on Etsy is half price but please contact me directly to purchase as I lose money selling there.

For the full post, read on:

FB business suite keeps telling me how quiet I have been and how I should engage with my customers and they're correct. I should.

I'll be honest with you all though, the 3 day fair I did before Christmas was so very bruising that I really have not been feeling it. I did everything I could to prep and promote beforehand, everything I could during the 3 days, priced my products competitively and I came out with a net loss of £200+.

I have spent some thinking and I cannot keep throwing money at it so there will be no more fairs, no Open Studios.

What's worse is that trying to make this work has taken the joy and experimentation out of photography for me as its become clearer that what fascinates me does not fascinate most people. I have been trying to photograph what I know will sell and lost myself in the process.

And I get it. Times are tough for everyine
Photogaphy and Art is a luxury when energy prices are through the roof and food costs are heading the same way.

However, I have a LOT of stock that I need to shift so we can have our cupboards back!

Everything I have on Etsy is therefore half price at the moment and possibly indefinitely. Please have a look and if you like anything, I'd be grateful if you contact me directly to buy.

Etsy takes so much that on a recent full-price sale, I made £1.33 after postage on a non-sale item. That wasn't including the costs of printing, mounting and my time & experience!

So thank you for all your support so far. I am grateful. I will still share my photographs and sell prints if you see anything you like but it will not be the focus any more.

I have a few new things to showcase here over the next few days, some of which will be available to order from the Christmas Fair at The Rhynd near Leuchars on 3-4 December.

In the meantime, this was a shot of a frosty spider's web the other day. There are several in this vein as I got a little obsessed with the bokeh. Isn't it gorgeous? 😍

Another Christmas Card - Black and white sunflare through a tree on the local golf course. This is taken with a CCTV lens attached to my camera via an adaptor. I love the soft swirled circular effect contrasting with the sharpness of the centre!

This is available as a print on demand (please message me) and as a Christmas Card as part of a pack of 5 here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1076965214/unique-luxury-christmas-cards-using?ref=shop_home_feat_1&frs=1

The aurora last night, while pale to the human eye, was magnificent on camera. This is not on etsy yet but I wanted to share it here first.

I've been privileged to see the northern lights many, many times. I have seen them pale and milky, green and dancing and scarlet and angry looking, and every time, the feelings of awe and thrill are as strong as the very first time.

I'm really pleased with how this has turned out. Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
