Last Message (On The Old Blog)

It occurred to me that this post will be the last post on the Old Blog (the new one will appear seamlessly and the old stuff will still stay around a bit). Not that I'm the sentimental type... but I figured it would be good to leave yawl with something I think is only...

Parking Space

Parking Space

Bet this building was advertised 'with great parking space' as one of the features. There is an interesting dimension to river cities - textures and spaces that add layers. In the streets, you see the usual cars, sidewalks, trees, parks and building facades. But...

Canvas Of The Sky

Canvas Of The Sky

Like clouds our lives parade across a sky A vibrant range of functions and forms Fed by water Feeding water in turn In the depths of night and sunlight's burn Anchored only to the winds While kissing the earth for as long as we might Who knows how many shapes we may...

Wildflowers Watching The Sea

Wildflowers Watching The Sea

Wide open spaces... what a place to grow wild. The wildflowers - themselves an intricate attraction - have the best view in the house. It is here that I gain perspective about the size of my triumphs and my troubles, the actual importance of those things I place...

Bank Of Friends

Bank Of Friends

A couple of kids on the banks of a river, chatting away and relaxing in the sun. A lot of folks have memories of being in a large circle of friends... guys or gals that 'grew up together' or 'hung around' each other. I was a member of several such groups - smaller...

The Flow And The Rays

The Flow And The Rays

The tides swallow the streams, the solid land disappears beneath the water - but the sun connects it all. Spotted within this setup of constant change, tiny beings who themselves last for far less time than the soil or the waters or the rocks, yet oddly, believe in or...

Church Tower Detail

Church Tower Detail

The great cathedrals and the master artists bask in fame - and yet the everyday art of centuries might be obscure. A handful of creators become household names - their undeniable skill aligning perfectly with the politics of their patrons, the fashionable trends of...

My very first movie

Just in time for Halloween, I can announce that we've formally started pre=production on my very first movie. It's a short film, but we all start somewhere right? A nice little quick burst of horror - to be cast, filmed and edited right here in Plymouth, Devon. A...

Toes In The Water…

Toes In The Water…

Families, friendly peeps, frolicking couples, four-footed friends - what a place and what a day to be outside. There are some truly magnificent beaches scattered throughout the UK - and in summer you might as well be on some tropical island somewhere. In winter, they...

Winter Sun

Winter Sun

I don't know what it is about a winter sun - but I love it. It's not quite winter yet, although the days have cooled. But the air is getting chillier and the winds are picking up - you can tell the water in the Sound is choppy. It could be that the sun just hangs low...

I Believe In Angels

I Believe In Angels

I do believe in angels, but some of them have hearts of stone. You don't get to watch humanity for any appreciable amount of time and not start to put some conditions in place for your compassion. Empathy is beautiful, but being taken for a ride and being made to be a...
