Heart and Mind

Heart and Mind By no means, do I regard myself as ‘special’ for pursuing two very different paths when it comes to earning a living.. I have to say, I was unprepared at how to work at both has introduced a welcome balance between heart and mind. The Disciplines For me, I have Photography and […]

Parallel Worlds in East Anglia

Parallel Worlds. Parallel worlds, for many years, only existed in Science Fiction… Now, however, theoretical physics indicates parallel worlds may not be a flight of fancy after all. “The truth is stranger than fiction” they say.. “Parallel worlds”.. the thought popped into my head as I walked along the north shore of the Orwell river.

This blog is a little different from my usual 🙂 “Engineers”. When you hear that word, what is the image that pops into your mind? Folk, scared of the sunshine with few if any social skills or the polar opposite, perhaps… You know, a man (usually) with wild hair that walks about like a cat […]

Only followers of Tolkien would know Fangorn. So I wonder how many of us that have read Tolkien, have had their lives at least in some small manner, altered by the experience? Some may argue it is folly to suggest that a work of fiction could (or should) have such an effect. Not I though. […]

2014 in photographs The idea of using photography to reflect the passage of a year may not be an original idea – 2014 in photographs is, nonetheless, my way to present a set of ‘markers’ from a purely personal perspective. Each image represents a bit of a struggle – though not an onerous one. Simply […]

A view from Behind the Scenes. If you have ever watched a concert on the telly or online and was curious about how it is all done, read on 🙂 Like all professions, what is visible to the public is the tip of the iceberg – so it is for the Videographer. This wee missive […]

Kentwell Hall The Hall is sited in the midst of timeless grounds, close by the Suffolk town of Long Melford. “Timeless”? A quizzical eyebrow may be raised at such language but Kentwell Hall is not like other of our old manor houses where much is done to preserve them in aspic. On this visit, my […]

Sound bites are often regarded with a cynical eye… – What may start out as well-crafted and powerful statement is often suborned by slick advertising campaigns or slippery politicians looking out for votes 🙂 It is a shame because sometimes, a simple phrase holds a simple truth. I have one in mind – “Less is […]

Gig in the Garden

The Gig in the Garden As fund raisers go, Gig in the Garden has to be amongst the best. The gig is held in the wilds of Suffolk near the town of Stowmarket. It had its first outing last year – a one-day event that was a stonking success. This year’s event was held over […]

A Legacy of Kings and Physicists An odd beginning to a tale I grant you but all will, hopefully, become clearer than mud in the next few lines 🙂 This is a wee tale about a journey from Robin Hood’s Bay to Whitby. The reference to the physicist ties in with the route – along […]

The Hidden Power in a Picture For a photographer, understanding what it is about an image, the ‘rhyme and reason’ if you like, that cuts through the noise of our daily lives and seriously connects, is akin to a Holy Grail. I suppose some would regard that metaphor was bordering on heresy but I am […]
