Happy New Year, may 2025 be filled with simple joy like the lovely lady I photographed on the shore of Windermere in September.

Had a few personal things to deal with so haven’t posted much but will be back in the New Year. I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday The Ivy recently and will leave you with the very best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and here’s to 2025, may it be a good year!

Just a couple of iPhone snapshots from Wednesday evening after my graduation ceremony in Bristol. It was a cold, crisp and beautifully clear evening and I was wishing I had my camera with me. Will have to go back just to visit next time.

I graduated from my Masters in Planning and Urban Leadership at UWE on Wednesday, fantastic couple of days in Bristol with my friend Anya. I love getting dressed up in these gowns, this was the third time and I wouldn’t say I won’t go for another in the future 😂

Really excited! I uploaded a batch of my photos to Adobe Stock to see if they made the grade and about half were accepted and I think the issues with the others are totally fixable so I can try again! If buying stock photos is your thing, here’s my portfolio: stock.adobe.com/uk/contribut...
