In Motion, In Between ~
There is something that happens when walking in a city like London. Time slips a little. You become part of a larger rhythm, but your own steps are still your own. Today on the street, a woman crossed in front of me with her umbrella angled just right, her hands full, eyes forward. She moved…

The Gift That Holds Us~
Rain falls quietly on the old stone bridge in Qibao, as the figure under the umbrella becomes part of the story of the place.

This Too Shall Pass~
This year we have all lived to some extent the opening words of ‘Tale of two cities’, haven’t we? Upheaval, breakdown of old systems, pandemic, loss, economic collapse, social and physical isolation, poverty, fear, uncertainty, extreme weather, unstable leadership and so much more… Yet, somehow, something extremely bright filters through our planet at this time,…

The magic of a rainy day~ Germany
There is a charm that can only be captured on a rainy day and a mood particular to that atmosphere of chilly raindrops, umbrellas and leaves blowing in the wind that I always long to photograph. It’s visual poetry that turns gloom into romance and magnifies the bit of light the day has against the…
