In February 2024 I embarked on a new journey to write photography articles on Substack, and would be delighted if you would join me there. I publish at least 2 articles a week with many images you won’t see elsewhere, accompanied by blethers, explanations, technical stuff or opinions. You can choose to join for free or to pay a small amount every month, and you can read the articles by email, by visiting the substack or by using the app. Come on over.

These blog entries below are from before then.
Autumn Storms
Trees, hold onto those leaves.
I was saying to my wife today...who wasn't really listening...cos she was on driving duties...while I was on drinking duties...that it would be great if Autumn could last for 3 months.
The leafy turny bit I mean...with the piles of vibrant, crunchy, kickable pavement soft furnishings...the drooping, succulent bunches of EAT ME radge berries...the unexpected colours and contrasts around corners that looked ordinary just a few weeks ago...and like today...the whirling dervishes of leaves spiralling suddenly out of nowhere...
...but it looks very like the next couple of nights might bring hungry winds that will snatch every leaf from its perch and leave our trees shivering and naked, with their branches held in front to cover their modesty.
This was today's hastily snatched view of Edinburgh before the Great Blow. I might do one every Sunday to compare.
