With a few bubblers making collaborations, Stuart Chapman approached me with the idea to create this piece. The work is my “Misty Morning On Derwent Water” with the fantastic editing skills of Stuart Chapman applied. I am really pleased with the result. Well done Stuart, all credit to you.

This machine will, will not communicate / These thoughts and the strain I am under / Be a world child, form a circle / Before we all, go under / fade out again, fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds / Scream as they fight for life / I can feel death, can see its beady eyes / All these things into position / All these things will one day swallow whole / Fade out again, Fade out again Immerse your soul in love / Immerse your soul in love / Lyrics by Radiohead – Street Spirit (Fade Out)
This gorgeous young cougar male was posing for us at dawn, and his steady gaze and slinky body were fabulous artistic inspiration. I placed him in an abstract setting of black, purple, and orange to pick up on the gorgeous warm tones and cool shadows on his body.

The title comes from Deb Parkin laughing at me everytime I comment on a lazy sunny shot with “I could sit here and have a lemonade”. Apparently I do that a lot.

Location: / St. Margaret’s Bay, Kent, England Map: / Multimap Date and Time: / 16 August.2008, 6.22 a.m. Camera details: / ISO 200 : f/22 : 0.78 second : 18mm : Nikon D40 : Nikon 18-55mm lens Shot narrative: / Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, bought one of the 4 “White Cliffs” houses at St Margarets Bay from Noel Coward in 1951. Noel Coward complained that the Bay had become ’ a beach crowded with noisy hoi polloi’ (you can just hear him saying that). Ian Fleming’s vacation house in Jamaica was famously called “Goldeneye” and the title was taken to connect the two properties with a slight helping of the Golden tones in the shot. Just down the road from me at Canterbury is the Duck Inn, near Bridge. Fleming went to the pub often, and describes in You Only Live Twice how the young James Bond was tutored by his aunt in a cottage “hard by the attractive Duck Inn”. Ian Fleming’s inspiration for Bond’s codename derived from the number of the local bus: 007 which drove past the pub. Photographs from St. Margarets Bay, Kent
I saw this happy black-and-white farm dog in the back of a vintage red pickup truck at a small-town summertime parade here in Montana – and everything about the scene was classic. It was great fun to compose and paint the image.

I had to wade through knee deep water to get to it at this stage to catch the sun’s reflections which also meant I got the added bonus of the outlet pipes on in full.

After 2 evenings and 3 hours spent scouring the Kent Countryside in search of poppy fields, this was lying less than a 5 minute drive from my house on the outskirts of Canterbury, Kent. Fortunately the weather was the nicest it’s been all week too. Taken on Nikon D40, 18-55mm lens at 18mm Photographs from Chartham, Kent

Location / Center Parcs, Elveden Forest, Suffolk, England June 2009: I was fortunate enough to witness the very low summer sun catch these trees in a very strong light as the tree shaped seemed to bend the light behind it.
Location / St. Margaret’s Bay, Kent, England August 2008: Sun rising up over the English Channel at St Margaret’s Bay. The numerous rocks create still pools uneffected by the tides.
