Bridge over the Bourne Eau in the Memorial Gardens. Featured in Lincolnshire Art.
It’s impossible for me to look at these flowers without thinking about all the men who lost thier lives fighting for thier country. Having just recieved a job offer I was on my way home the other morning when I came across a large field of these wonderful fragile flowers… I just couldn’t resist them and stood a while admireing there fragile beauty… Priceless!!!
This is one of my very first professional photographs taken in 2003 on my old Canon EOS 3000 + 28-80mm lens. This was taken from the back of the Princess of Dubrovnik boat in the Aegean Sea between Croatia and Venice.
This again was on the way to Saxilby. What looks like a wisp of cloud across the sun is actually smoke from cottam power station in the distance which is just out of shot.
View of the junction in the village of Birthorpe, Lincolnshire. Taken on Ilford Delta 100 with a Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera.

A surprisingly straight shot from inside the bothy at Wm. Blyth… If you sort of squint and look through your eyelashes you can almost see the ‘memory’ this room has of the people who once inhabited it… Not perhaps most viewers first choice of living room, but I’ll bet that with a well stoked fire and a wee ‘snort’ of whiskey this’d have been a cracking little escape from the harsh Humber winds outside.
As Is – Cleethorpes Boating Lake, Lincolnshire. / This was taken just as the sun was going down. It wasn’t really this dark but the glare of the sun made it seem so. / This has not been ‘messed with’ in any way.
This is my girlfriend and fellow Redbubbler Sophie Blain. / This photograph was taken a few weeks ago in Bardney. / Apologies for the bad quality but it has been scanned in.
Quite an old image… well, a few months old. Taken with an Asahi Pentax K1000 on a 400 ISO XP2 film.
Don’t ask about the title :p Just sorta came to me :).
The quality here isn’t great because the image was scanned in, dragged into another document and resized. This is a current image I took with my Pentax K1000 on a XP2 film for a project called ‘Light in the Everyday’. My friend said this, and a few others, reminded her of the work of Arthur Tress, who I am currently researching. This was my favourite image from the 36 I took.

There is currently an exhibition of Patrick Lichfield’s work at Union Interiors, Union Street, Grantham, Grantham NG31 6NZ. (Address given for Sat Nav or Google Maps.) It is (obviously) a retrospective with images dating back from the sixties. It is a mixture of old and newer work; colour and black and white. There are quite a few images of iconic characters from the sixties and seventies such as George Best, Pele, Mick Jagger and Tommy Cooper as well as a simple portrait of the Kidd sisters who were at the opening night apparently (or perhaps just one of them). Sorry I missed that (I have only just managed to visit because I have been away). I was quite taken with the shots of Dirk Bogarde taken on film sets. Some of the photographs have never been exhibited before so this is a rare treat. For those that don’t know the Union, it is a shop specialising in home furnishings, art and lifestyle. It is worth a visit any time (the folks there don’t mind people simply browsing) but especially now with the Lichfield images on the wall. There is also a cabinet of Lichfield’s cameras on display. Both images and cameras are for sale but there is no obligation or pressure to buy. It is not often that an exhibition of such a well-known photographer makes its way out of London so take the opportunity to visit. It started on 02 October and was originally intended to run for six weeks although when I visited 2 days ago they said they were going to extend it. I don’t know how much longer it will be up so go sooner rather later. You can phone ahead to check. The shop is closed on Mondays. You can park in Lidl car park on Union Street which is adjacent to the Union, or in Asda car park which is across the road. I have no connection with the Union; I simply think it would be a shame to miss seeing this exhibition on our doorstep. While you are in Grantham pop into Cafe Leo for a great coffee and a bite to eat. (For sat nav – 75 Westgate, Grantham, Lincs, NG31 6LA) I heartily recommend the food there for no other reason than I think it is good although I must admit that I currently have some images on display on their walls. All the best Martin
Was walking along and saw this book next to a lamp post. I’m a bit shy about taking photos so decided not to take a picture of it as some woman was walking towards me. I carried on walking and looked back when she passed me only to see her pick it up, much to my annoyance. Then I headed back in the direction I came from to see that she had decided to leave it in this bus stop. / So I got a shot in the end. Taken in Lincoln, near the prison and the hospital on my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone.

Just a little sketch i did, re-reading the stories about photographers in London being stopped under terrorism laws.
These autumn colours can be found on a walk around Hubbards Hills in Louth, Lincolnshire. This is the best time of year to go as all the colours really show this place off at its best. Canon 5D Mk2 / F16 / ISO 200
This is Hubbards Hills in Louth, Lincolnshire showing all the colours of autumn. / Hubbard’s Hills is a glacial overspill channel formed as the last ice ended about 40,000 years ago. A marginal lake of meltwater trapped between glacial ice sheet and the Lincolnshire Wolds spilled over a chalk ridge and gouged a steep sided valley with a flat bottom. The river Lud, far too small to create such a valley, now flows / through it. Please visit me at my website / PaulThompsonPhotography / Canon 5D Mk2 / F16 / ISO 100
Hey, this is a message for all those members of Lincolnshire Arts. / I don’t know if anyone of you have read my Seven Days story, but I’m filming it very soon (Thursday to be exact) and was just wondering if anybody knew of any good places where I can film two people sitting on a bench. Preferably the bench will be directly opposite a traditional British postbox, but this is not essential. / What is essential however is that the area is quiet and far from a road or any form of construction site. / If anyone has any ideas please could you let me know a.s.a.p. Thanks, Matt
