Every morning I allow myself 20-30 minutes to just wander the garden, camera in hand, looking for good places to lie down. There are other more pressing things that need doing but currently this is by

There is much to love about the streets of Thailand, with street-food probably being at the top of most people's list. However, think of all those poor vendors in the rainy season when sudden torrential

It took me a while to decide which animal was the right height for when your camera is sitting on the ground. I like the idea of a rat's-eye view. After focussing on just grass a couple of weeks ago I

Snakes here do not bask. And neither do I. Quite the opposite. We both seek the shade and go to work when the sun is low. I have become crepuscular! It means to be active around dawn and dusk, and it's

I think this technique counts as collage! These are composite images of the flight-lines of birds. They are created by videoing the flying birds using a tripod then merging consecutive frames in whatever

The second instalment of my mini-poem garden journal. One per day about something from our garden, which sits amongst the rice-fields and sugar-palm trees of Petchaburi Province in Thailand. 15th Jan:

Shall I compare thee to painted lines in a carpark? Can you feel the friction of time and weathering wearing away at you? Not as pristine as you once were, are you? Your smooth edges have become chipped

For most visitors there is one famous sight to visit in the town of Petchaburi at the northern end of the Thai peninsular. It's called Phra Nakhon Khiri and is visible long before you actually reach the

Trying to make use of some old wire that builders had left lying around years ago I had collected what I could find on an outdoor table. When the sun got low I noticed their shadows, which were more

I set myself a little exercise this morning: to photograph the grass in our garden and nothing else. And to do so in a particular way that basically involved lying on it. My idea was to photograph from

I wanted to get a better idea of how bicycles are used around my adopted home town of Petchaburi at the northern end of the Thai peninsular. I had a feeling that more than a remnant remained of the old

Pulling the old leaf-bases away from our silver palm tree this morning here in Thailand gave me a good chance to look more closely at them. The tree itself is impressive with its enormous fan-shaped leaves

A selection of street photographs of dogs from Thailand with some extreme contrasts in their lives. Some of these are true unowned street dogs earning their living through begging and scavenging, while

The early morning sun creates some great cartoon head shadows from the shoes sitting outside our front door. The first time I noticed it I smiled but didn't take a photo. The second time I noticed it I

Here is another collection of my wildlife artwork that I make from macro photographs of urban decay. In this case it's birds only! It always starts with searching the corners of our urban world for weathered

My idea for keeping a kind of journal. One of these short poems per day, about something from our garden, particularly the wildlife I meet, but also the gardening I do, anything, and posted as a block

Cycling trips, especially on back-roads, always have their surprises. This poem is the story of one such event that happened when a friend and I re-cycled the very mountainous Mae Hong Son loop in the

Introducing the idea of life trees and their importance to us as individuals

A black-and-white collage of people from the streets of Petchaburi in Thailand. The source photographs are below. I like all these source images in themselves but I wanted to try to give a quick impression
