2023 A REVIEW OF THE YEAR

A black and white photo of a cemetery with smoke coming out of it.

I seem to have taken fewer photographs this year. I’m not sure why, a lack of opportunities or lack of motivation? Anyway, here’s the world’s most depressing calendar for 2023

One Hundred Faces

A black and white photo of an older man.

I never really set out to create the ‘100 Faces Project’. All I really do is wander around and point a camera in the general direction of strangers on the street. It was all just street photography to me; a continuation of After the Coal Dust.

Masks – Street Portraits

On the street, in real life, there is no Rembrandt or Butterfly lighting arrangements. We are illuminated by the fluorescent lights in cafes or the glow from a charity shop window. This is who we really are.
