Photography
These are my photography blogs — black and white, local photography, and general photography-related thoughts. I post new photography blogs on the 3rd of each month.

B&W Photographers I Admire — And Why I Keep a Respectful Distance
Black and white photographers whose work I admire and return to — Edwin Smith, James Ravilious, Fay Godwin, Don McCullin, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, Adrian Vila and Christine Wilson — and why I make a point of not looking at them too closely before picking up my own camera.
Why I Photograph the British Countryside in Black and White
A UK black and white landscape photographer's perspective on why the Chiltern Hills — quiet, understated, and full of human intervention — make for more honest and rewarding photography than any mountain summit ever could.
Sony A700: Still Good Enough
The Sony A700 is a camera that was built to be used — and that's exactly why it still earns its place in my kit today. A second body that keeps me in the same Sony A-mount system, fits in the hip pack, and delivers smoother black and white JPEGs than anything I'd spend ten times the price on. Sometimes old is still good enough, even today.
