One of my first ever Fleeting Reflections photos. This is exactly how it appeared on the camera. It reminded me instantly of the artwork on Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album cover. No photoshop involved.

From my Horse series 🖤
A grey horse standing against a darkened sky. The picture is taken from the ground looking up. The horse is eating with his head to the ground & merges into the right hand corner of the image. A black and white photograph of a grey horse standing against a darkened sky. The horse is cropped & just shows his head and neck- the light hits the top of he neck & highlights some of the mane that sticks up. His ears are slightly back. A black and white photograph of a grey horse - the horse is centered and looking directly into the camera. A black and white photograph of a grey horse moving away from the camera- the photo is taken from the ground looking up & captured a bit of the horse’s neck (mane) and ear and eye.

Confirmation that the shell line at Shingle Street is still being maintained as of June this year, by the two ladies.

Thank you Damian, I haven't been there for a while now but I believe the shell line was still being maintained as of June this year, the two ladies who started it visit and repair every 6 months. Yes I first saw it back in 2019, its really quite moving when you know the reasons behind it.

Teapot Rock is now sadly gone. Washed into the sea by Hurricane Fiona a few years ago. This is an ink transfer on Arches 88 paper made using hand sanitizer and some old overhead projection transparency sheets. #printmaking #pei #blackandwhitephotography
A square black and white photo. A small rock formation stands in the center just of the ocean coastline. The formation is framed by onshore cliffs on either side.

Some waterlilies from back in May. I was hoping to make more images of them during the summer, but the opportunity never arose.

Beautiful photo of a stunning piece of slow art, caught by @damianward.bsky.social with the uplifting back story told here by Emma Croman.

A black and white photo by Damian Ward. The photo is line of shells, place deliberately across a stress of shingle beach, in singlr file from the houses in the background to a pair of concentric circles in the ofreground. It is a slow art work made by a pair of women who started as a mediative exercise while they were undergoing cancer treatment.

The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.

Using pinhole and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.
