Lens-Artists: Open Sesame

November 21, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

A door defines a boundary,an invitation to enter within,or a warning to stay out – Such finality in doors boarded,an inference of profound loss.

A Bevy of Characters

November 18, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

“The light is not very good for taking photographs,” Ric remarks as we turn onto the road along the river which has fast become our favourite drive. “I know.” It’s not in my character to give up just because circumstances are not ideal.

Photo a Week: Bridges

November 3, 2018.Reading time less than 1 minute.

The gap between the life I’d envisioned and this current reality is widening… I need a bridge – not a short, low one, but a large, expansive bridge to carry all my wishes, to facilitate movement of passing ideals, allow for traffic flow. Or a bridge to slow me down, dialled in to the sun’s […]
