‘The passing of time’
Pevensey castle silhouetted against a moonlit sky.
Left work, the sky was almost clear.
I always have a camera in my bag.
A lot of the time it doesn’t come out.
But it’s always there when I need it.

The past inside the present
‘The past inside the present’
Pevensey castle in silhouette against a moonlit sky.
I took this image last night just after leaving work. As I worked on it, a line from the track ‘Music is Math’ by Boards of Canada entered my head. It fits perfectly.
I have stood and watched for a thousand years.
Through war and peace.
Through hot summer days and cold winter nights.
As time erodes my shell.
Many stories I could tell.
I am the past inside the present.
Silent.
Stoic.
Words by me.
All that glisters
‘All that glisters’
“All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life has sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold
Had you been as wise as bold,
Your in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been in’scroll’d
Fare you well: your suit is cold.’ Cold, indeed, and labour lost: Then, farewell, heat and welcome, frost!”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Calm (before the storm)
‘Calm (before the storm)’
The air is still.
The waters barely move.
Not a sound to be heard.
Save for my feet upon the stony beach.
I breathe it in.
I breathe it out.
It won’t last long.
It never lasts long.
A moment
‘A moment’
A moment to reflect .
A moment of peace.
A moment to dream.
A moment to take in all that surrounds you.
These moments help cleanse the soul.
Savour them.
I’m going through my catalogue again to see how I can better organise the gallery section. Initially I quite liked the simple idea of a mono and colour section. The problem in my view is that there is nothing to link the images, they are just a grouping of a few of my favourites.
My aim is to group images within a particular theme and have them as sub-pages within a main portfolio page. I initially thought I could just sit down and get on with it but I realise that it’s something I’m going to have to chip away at over a much longer period.
Curating ones own images is proving much more difficult than I had previously thought.
Bicyclette
‘Bicyclette’
Spotted this cyclist racing along the sands while walking along the promenade at Wimareaux.
Although the afternoon was relatively bright, the wind was biting.
Perfect for all you sporting types, especially the windsurfers.
I zipped up my coat.
