The Draw of the Night is now availble in a new size, but the larger size is still unavailable. The sparkling Christmas fair went well this weekend with Utopia now the second most popular print in the collection. The next sparkling Christmas fair on the Pantiles will be 13th -14th of December.
This weekend (21-22Dec) will be the last 'Sparkling Christmas at the Pantiles' event. There will be no more display events until April 2009.The largest size 'Alone in the Bright' is now available again, on a personal note my Nikon FM died yesterday after 20 years service!! 'Broken on duty' it was a camera that had taken about 90% of the work seen on this web site its replacement is now being sort.
Major problems have caused a delay in the printing of the new project, a loss of negatives has also occurred during a new negative process technique, the next show at the Pantiles will be on the 5th of October. Due to the present problems the new project will not appear at the stall, the next pantiles appearance will be on the 19th of October and all of the photographs for the new project and the latest Thames carnival photographs will also be appearing
From the 14th of September to the evening of the 19th of September I will not be taking orders or answering emails. For the first time I will be photographing a project for a several days, first time a project has been done this way and will not be set in London or the south east like all the other projects! This project once printed will be shown to the public for the first time in October/November at my pantiles art stall in Tunbridge wells, it will be then placed on this web site. Dates of when this portfolio will be available to be seen by the public will appear on this page.

I am now back from the 'next project, and hope to start processing and printing work from this 'misson', a portfolio will be available to see at the Pantiles in the coming months, exact date is unknown. It will then appear on this web site with blog links. Mean time the Thames carnival was photographed the evening before I went on the 'misson' so that will appear on this site in the coming weeks, it will also be on portfolio display at the same time it is on show on the web site. Tomorrow is the 8th Pantiles craft market and the weather looks good. So all are welcome and have a look at my present work.

I will next show will be at the same venue on the 16th. I will also be exhibiting my work every weekend both Saturdays and Sundays through out December up until the last weekend before Christmas.

With the usual effects of rain and being a quite time of year I am asking if any visitors to this web site are able to rent space, shop front or hall, possibly near a town. The area would be Sevenoaks, Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells. This would be for my work to placed on display for a week or several weekends in a row. Payment can be money or if you like one of my art works an exchange.
As from this date the best way of viewing this web site will be at 1280 x 1024, this will place more index pages onto one screen and greatly reduce the down scrolling. This will cause a few link size shift problems over the coming weeks. Two projects will be added over the coming weeks, the return of 'Static', with access to a digital enlarger this project will be reopened and available for purchase of prints. Colour stream will finally appear, only a few were available on the easyart site, now these too will be released as digital photographic hand prints. The next project from the events of the year will be Chinese new year which will start to appear late February.
Channel Surfer, the first digital hand print I have created is now available for purchase, the 'Static' section is now completely open and prints for sale will start appearing over the coming weeks. Colourstream section has been up dated, links to easyart.com with the images they have for sale are now open.
Due to the lack of days for public viewing and the reduction in the Trafalgar events I have not managed to recorded any of the Trafalgar shows, this does seem to be the case with London events overall this year, which is a shame due to the amount of effort the entertainers put into each event.
Chinese new year 2008 has now been loaded onto the site. 'Fog over Towerbridge' is now available for purchase in 3 different sizes, other works will be available for sale for the first time over the coming weeks, smaller prints of older limited size edition will also start appearing. Check with the 'What can I buy' section to access the list.
This weekend (12th &13th July 2008), I will at the Wadhurst 'Scarecrow festival', the first time I have been to this show. There will be many different stands including the scarecrow hunt which is an annual event. Again this does depend on the British weather! The following Sunday the 'Urban art' comes round again, I will be there on the 20th July ( the Sunday). This is the only London show I do and the biggest out of all the shows per year. Christmas events are already being booked!! So expect even more shows to come this year. I will not be appearing at the regular art fair at the Pantiles until the 17 August.

Some from photographs from the some section are now active, more from Chatham event will appear in the next two weeks. A recent purchase of a Lomo fisheye camera will mean another section dedicated to this camera will be appearing. Like the Holga section this will have photographs from various projects but take with this camera only.

Despite the weather warnings Finchcocks show was sunny and went well, several prints were sold so the 'What can I buy section has had another reshuffle. If all goes well I will be appearing again there tomorrow with more work than I had on display than today. Next Sunday I will be appear at my regular place at the Pantiles, Tunbridge wells.
Due to poor weather the Tunbridge Wells Christmas Pantiles didn't have as many photographs taken this year, despite the excellent acts. All available have now had the pages added to this site. More photographs will be added soon, Merry Christmas and a Happy New to all that have supported and visited this web site. I hope 2008 brings more sections and creative ideas.

With the amazing snow full over the southeast of the country the photographs taken on Sunday the 6th have inspired a new project called 'Blanc'. Photographs from this day will be appearing over the next few days, making way for future snow work. News of a craft market that I will be appearing at monthly intervals will be appearing on this page in the near future They will be additional to the other show through out the year.
After arriving at Finchcocks this morning I found the nights bad weather had wrecked my gazebo, (not to mention a number of other stands). So I have had to abandon the show today, my next display will be at the Pantiles on the 8th of June if the weather is good!
With the sunny Bank holiday just past a collection of work for various sections will appear in the coming weeks, links to the new work will appear on the 'What New' section.
