  • Kevin Skinner

    Kevin Skinner 11 days ago

    Probably your best work yet for me! Both image and words are so profound and with such meaning for all who care to look and read. Just stunning!

  • Donald Cameron replied 10 days ago

    As I said in your journal entry about this shot, I really do appreciate such positive feedback. To be able to provoke a reaction or make the viewer reflect on the subject somehow is probably the ultimate goal in any kind of art, so this has been a great boost.

  • Mark Hughes

    Mark Hughes 11 days ago

    Wow! great work Donald, very inspiring. Having just recently moved up to Scotland up the coast from you at St Cyrus, I must go explore Fife area more.

  • Donald Cameron replied 10 days ago

    Hi Mark. I used to live near Lunan Bay so know that stretch of coastline up to St Cyrus really well, I’ve a number of shots in my gallery from around that area, always enjoy revisiting it.

  • Jim Robertson

    Jim Robertson 11 days ago

    Hi Donald. I find it hard to separate your words from your image. They are one! Simply one of the most outstanding pieces of work on this site. I don’t know where you want to go with photography or where it may lead you but once you’ve been there you ‘ll know.

  • Donald Cameron replied 10 days ago

    Thanks very much Jim, this is probably as close together as I’ve managed to tie an image and poem so glad you think it works. Really appreciate your comments here and on Kevin’s journal, means a lot.

    This is great Donald. I’ve been wanting to do something similar too. It reminds me of some of the great Cole Thompson photos which is meant in a very positive way!

  • Donald Cameron replied 9 days ago

    (Scurries off to find Cole Thompson pictures…) Yes I can certainly see similarities in the concept, a fine compliment to be compared to him. It’s incredibly difficult to stand completely still for nearly 3 minutes, I was surprised it didn’t turn out a blurry mess!
