  Philosophy
My philosophy concerning photography is that an image should speak for itself. If it is necessary to explain the significance of a picture, then it has failed.


Artistic Comments
The pictures are not a survey or record of the location; instead they are a collection of interesting or unusual images. To appreciate these images, it should not be necessary to know the locations, but familiarity should add to their enjoyment.

Composition
The first priority is the creation of an interesting image, using composition and light. My approach includes the secondary aim of showing the maximum amount of detail, which enables each picture to be examined and appreciated on a totally different level.



Technical Details
Most of the photographs have been taken using medium format camera, and I have also used 35mm and large format cameras for some of the images. The use of filters is minimal - sometimes and orange filter helps to balance the sky and improve contrast.

The pictures are printed on high quality fibre-based paper in an entirely traditional darkroom, using archival processing methods to ensure that prints will last with care for well in excess of 100 years.
