Ink and colour pencil. My take on the concrete jungle. Nature has had enough …............ its time to reclaim!!!!!!
Saltwick Bay, Black Nab and `The Admiral Van Tromp’. Due to the weather the tide came in early and quickly, swamping the wreck and us. We had to drag Alan away :-) and not a moment too soon. 10 minutes after we got back to safety our escape route was cut off by a crashing sea…..phew! Extract from the Whitby Lifeboat history: “Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain Robert Allen and the Bronze Medal awarded to Helmsman Richard Robinson for rescuing a survivor of the fishing vessel Admiral Van Tromp, which was wrecked after grounding on the Black Nab Rock in thick fog, an easterly wind, and a heavy breaking sea on 30 September 1976. When a survivor was seen on a rock Helmsman Robinson drove the D class lifeboat in at full speed, onto a ledge, and the man was grabbed just as a large sea broke over the rock and washed the boat back into the sea.”
On Dartmoor you’ll find evidence of mining and quarrying all over the place. Here at Goodameavy is the remnants of an old railway bridge, this railway was used to transport quarried stone from Dewerstone. Now the bridge us isolated, the tracks long gone and even the embankment is broken to pieces. It’s always muddy under the little bridge and the moss on the tree is evidence of little light and very damp conditions on Dartmoor. When my son Joe was just 14months old, he fell face first into the mud. Old Bridges:

This work is representative of cycles, momentum and the multiple. Taking society’s discarded objects of the everyday and transformeing them into formal representations, combining the reformed objects, acknowledgeing the endless waste in producing ancillary items that support our everyday existence.
A structure of wood and brick fights a losing battle with nature. The adjacent steel structure of the foundry has a firmer hold in the weather, but this half of the structure is crumbling more with every passing season. Update on this location-see first loss of a location journal entry.
This is one of the first shots I took when I got into photography. There used to be random old car parts scattered in the woods behind my house, and I was never really OK with that. This past spring I went out to see how Mother Nature was coping and found this.

As Kobe’s expansion is blocked by the mountains, the main way to extend the city is to reclaim land from the sea. To be able to handle the incoming traffic over the city, a new airport has been built… On a dedicated artificial island. 2009, Japan.

I lift my face towards the sun, / my home is dark and bleak and glum, / I struggle hard to reach the light, / I see it now so warm and bright I couldn’t resist this lovely picture from a window inside a concrete multistorey carpark in Wollongong CBD. It was one of those concrete blocks with the four pie shaped cutouts in it which ran the width of the carpark. The vine was struggling to survive in the blackness, but eventually found its way to the light. This shot is straight from my Kodak Z8612 camera, Thanks for looking. /
