a morning walk on the deserted northumberland coast with my family – a really beautiful place to be.
Someone (not from RB) remarked that they didn’t like the way I photographed my children in such dark tones and they felt children should be photographed in colour – they felt it captured childhood better – maybe they have a point – but I photograph this way to try and capture either a timelessness or the spirit of the moment – anyway, I haven’t listen and i have made an earlier image even darker – just did a bit of dodging and burning.
I have bemoaning the fact that we have had no summer and it has been grey and miserable – well half way up catbells in the Lakes I saw a blue sky and the sun coming through some beautiful clouds and couldn’t resist taking a shot.
taken at Fountaines Abbey in Yorkshire – and amazing medieval monastry – this is Fleur trying to get in a locked door.
Just another day at the seaside today – but the sun was out – still cold though.
If only you knew how deep yet free-spirited he is.
Never underestimate the importance of the father!!!!!!!!! Mine was never around.
This was a beautiful place to be – when the children were there is became magical – every door opened wasn’t a garden it was the secret garden and we had to look for lepricorns and fairies and smell every flower and describe every tree.
The thing i love about photography is it makes you think and when i saw this tree i saw how beautiful it was and wanted to get an image of it’s roots – roots that were strong and big and displayed their age with pride – but when i saw the image, with a person next to it, i saw how small we are not just in relation to it’s size but but it’s sheer nature and that’s the beauty of photography (for me anyway).
This is part of a series i have put together. I am growing ever fascinated with childhood, their thoughts and in particular children’s literature, art and so-called amusement – there is always an intense darkness about it – so i have tried to create dark images visually and psychologically – i didn’t ask Abe to pose but was pleased his head was turned because now i hope we look through him and discover our own thoughts (Hope that makes sense to you).
I love this game – i think children all over the world love this game and i love it when i think of our similarites instead of our differences and this is what this tree did for me – i also wondered how many children had hid in it. * /
Taken at Fountains Abbey today – this is Abe taking photos – he is such an inspiration. * /
Nothing like a bit of solitude when looking out to the sea.
Taken today at a beautiful Christmas Carol service at Fountains Abbey – the children were given candles and we had mulled wine – not an easy combination with a two year old who refuses to have her wild hair tied back and a mother who has wine in one hand and a camera in the other – thank goodness for dads :0) * /
To each other.
Meet Mr Snowman – he is being eaten by Abe – honest!!!
I haven’t been out much lately as my little girl has been poorly (so sorry if i missed some of your work) however, yesterday i NEEDED to get out with my camera and luckily i didn’t have to go too far. This is the iconic Angel of the North – you can see it driving on the A1 – it is such a powerful symbol and awesome to see.
I was watching these lads when I was at the Angel – there were three of them – one is rolling down the hill at the moment. The were having great fun, pushing each other over, fighting etc then for split second they stopped and just stood and looked – there was something very gentle about the way they did it. Despite the bravado you could see something of a real friendship between them.
This was taken up at Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland UK – this is a photographer battling against the wind – you have no idea how cold it was that day :)
This image was inspired by my friend, the talented Simon Gladwin – (hope you don’t mind :))

I remember one of the loneliest times for me at school was when it was playtime. Looking around to see who and if you could play with someone. I think though it made me learn to like my own company .. I am still very much happy to be in my own world.
Another one for my series on school. And more work drawn from my relationship with school.
Was debating as whether or not to put this up as it felt a bit cheeky but it is an important image within my school series. This one was conceived as an idea about bullying. Thankfully I wasn’t bullied physically but I know people who were and it is terrible – it is one of my worse fears for my children too. I wanted to portray the isolation, betrayal and loneliness a child feels when they are bullied.
