As someone who has taken a personal and professional interest in the local fauna and flora, since arriving in Connecticut 5 years ago, it is perhaps surprising that I have been slow to insinuate myself into other elements of the community who support nature. One such local denizen of the natural world is Roaring Brook Nature Center in the rural outskirts of Canton....

Recently I had the privilege of meeting Paul Rochford of Burlington Land Trust, and came to understand a: how relevant this organisation is to my own work in portraying local nature and wildlife, and b: how much it deserves to be supported by the residents of Burlington. The land trust is a non profit organization which seeks to preserve and protect Burlington’s...

Concert photography is something I really enjoy, but get too little opportunity for. Recently I travelled to Hamden Connecticut for a performance, by Josh Krajcik, whose music and voice I have been very happily listening to for many months. I knew not only that the concert would be good on my ears, but also Josh has a character about him which was going to be interesting...

This is a recycle of an article I wrote a few years ago on a previous site, but the point exists as much today as it did then. What prompted me to repeat it here, was being asked by a novice which brand I would recommend, as they had received assertive but conflicting reports from other sources. I pretty much recited this article from memory, as my response. Amongst many...

The exhibition opened as planned on Wednesday 2nd October and I was delighted with both the support of bodies arriving to view and the feedback regarding both the exhibits and the presentation. Perhaps what is more rewarding is the fact that people have shown a willingness to spend their children’s inheritance on works I have produced. I really do thank you. The...

The exhibition is due to run throughout the month of October and more details and viewing information will be published in the coming weeks. I can say that as it is a local exhibition, at Burlington Public Library, it is my intent that the material on view will...

Considering that as a photographer, one of the environments in which I feel most relaxed and comfortable, is the beaver pond at the bottom of the garden, this news comes as something of a surprise. In the four years we have lived here, I have spent countless hours in pursuit of the local inhabitants, much of the evidence of which is available in these very galleries. On...
Learn MoreWell, after many months, the new website is complete enough to fire it up online, and I crave your indulgence and feedback. What started, I believed, as a relatively elementary process, turned out to be way above my comfort zone and pay grade, as I had chosen to develop it in a language and platform of which I had no prior knowledge or experience. After...

There are plans afoot for an exhibition of my work to be put on show at Burlington Public Library, which has now been delayed until September 2013 due to unforeseen circumstances. Exciting stuff and a great opportunity to raise my profile in the local community. There will be more news and details to come, but I can say that the material on view will largely be wildlife...
