  • Surfers Paradise

    On the way back in.
    The sea is calm, I am leaving,
    Back when the surf’s up.

    Taken on a fairly deserted beach in Ireland, the sea didn’t look the best for surfing. This was also one of my first images where I have applied the Adamsky effect. Sometimes the image is what you see, and not what is there.


  • Remembering

    Remembering days
    When I braved the open seas.
    Now I sit and watch.

    The North Landing at Flamborough in North Yorkshire is a sheltered cove, home to many seabirds in the cliffs. The Springflower is an old fishing boat, looking out over the cove where it launched.


  • Together Alone

    High on the cliff edge
    Insignificant figures –
    but not to each other.

    This image was taken from the island at Tintagel. The two figures on the cliff were a lucky chance, but help to give the feeling of both the scale and the companiable isolation of the couple.
