Happy World Photography Day! 19 August marks the day in 1839 when the daguerreotype process was announced to the world. And here I am in Nottingham, a long time later, on the inaugural BA (Hons) Photography course at Trent Polytechnic, sometime in 1982/83. Having a go and then buying the new launch Polaroid SLR 680 outside the Pelling & Cross camera shop on Pelham Street, just a short walk from the Polytechnic. Special thanks to (also on the Trent Poly photography course) for investigating the particular Tudor building in the background, locating the street and remembering the camera shop in question šŸ™

37 years ago today, on 21st June 1989, we got married in Cernobbio. I had no idea then where life would take us, or all we’d share together. Happy anniversary, my love ā¤ļø ###

Thank you Frances for inviting me to exhibit alongside you and be your partner in art! It’s been great fun and a real pleasure 😘 sharing the space, the conversations, and the experience. I’ve loved meeting everyone who has visited and hearing the stories, memories and connections our work has sparked.

Thank you for your friendship, generosity and for making this such an enjoyable few days. ā¤ļø

What draws you to a photograph or to an art piece?

Is it simply the image or artwork itself, or does knowing something about the artist and the story behind it deepen your connection?

When visiting a gallery, one’s encountering the finished piece without knowing anything about the months and years of thought, research, experimentation, observation or life experience that brought it into being. Sometimes that doesn’t matter at all but@more often than not, it changes everything.

Over the this last week at The Projection Room in , I’ve had some wonderful conversations with visitors. People have shared memories, family stories, personal experiences and their own interpretations of the work. Art doesn’t stop when it’s hung on a wall. It continues through the conversations it sparks and the connections it creates.

If you’ve been meaning to visit, there are now just 2½ days left.

I’m exhibiting my photographic work alongside my friend and talented illustrative artist Frances Mason as part of English Riviera Open Studios. Together we’re sharing The Projection Room, Venue 8, with work that comes from very different starting points but is united by a love of storytelling, observation and making.

We’d love to welcome you —

In the box, along with many other things, were letters ....

"P.S. It is so cold I can hardly hold my pen."

My great uncle Clifford was a Royal Engineer sent from Cairo to Greece in the spring of 1941. He signed every letter the same way. Keep Smiling. The telegram and letter from the War Office came eventually. He was never found.

This is new work in progress, showing as part of English Riviera Open Studios at The Projection Room in Paignton, where I'm sharing space with my lovely, talented friend Frances Mason

Private Preview this Friday 5 June, 5 to 7pm. You'll be very welcome anytime, but join us at the preview, and there'll be glasses and nibbles too.

No. 8 in the English Riviera Open Studios map guide. We'd love to see you there.
