It's time to start writing more again. And to actively grab hold of my creativity for the sake of my mental health & my general being.
Art & creativity are essential in life.

Hello Blue Sky! I’ve been very inactive here, as I push through various health hurdles.
My creativity has sadly taken a back seat so far in 2025. But, I’m extremely inspired& desperate to create.
I’m eager to dig out my cameras, load some film & experiment again.
Art holds power!📷

This is truly stunning!
What a glorious dose of magic from nature.
Thank you for sharing this with us, @linda2.bsky.social

I've barely been on this great app recently- a lot is happening health-wise.
I’m looking forward to brighter times ahead & truly keeping as creative as possible. During life’s challenges, we need art & an outlet so much more.

Thrilled to be featured in a February issue of Amateur Photographer Magazine.
It has been such a light this week. I'm very grateful for my first AP feature.
I hope you are all having a week full of creativity! 📷

Here is to a bright week ahead for us all.
What are you all planning to create in February?

I'm after #film #photography advice- I’m keen to pursue my photography further in 2025. When my health allows, I would love to delve into portraiture & pursue various projects.
I adore 120 film w/ my Yashica Mat. Would system MF film allow more versatility for portrait & botanical work? 6x6 or 6x45?

My second article is up on the great 35mmc this week. It shows the wonderful array of work from the 2024 film exhibition I was involved in.

Thank you @hamishgill.bsky.social for creating this valuable source of inspiration & insight for the #photography community.

A restless night calls for the increasingly incredible @photowalk.show - this episode features Ted Forbes (from The Art of Photography). An insightful listen, as always. Highly recommend tuning into The Photowalk if you have yet to.

An interview I did with Ambient Women's Photo Collective has been published. This was a wonderful one to do with Lisa, which made me very introspective about my true creative dreams.
It would be great if you took a couple of minutes to give it a read. 📷

This is something I’m very much making a conscious effort to do, particularly over the past couple of months. Despite the challenges of complex chronic illness & pushing for help with my health. I'm more determined than ever. And to truly grasp hold of all the positives in my life. Seek that joy! ✨

My first article on 35mmc, which is all about hope and how photography impacts upon it. 📷

I'm currently working on my second article. #filmphotography

A photo I took in my room a few years back of a gorgeous Rose plant.
I recently sold a print of this image after working with a wonderful specialist printer for my botanical images.

If you find yourself wondering if a new book will solve all your problems today, the answer is yes

My camera of choice this week is my Olympus Mju i - I’m currently finishing a roll of Kodak Ektar (not really ideal film at the moment).

What should I load next?
Lomo CN 400
Candido 400
Candido 800

(I have yet to shoot any of the Candido films) 📷

Cicero was a very wise man

A bit of a longer intro -
I'm 31, passionate about photography & all things film - I love to be inspired by music, movies & books.
Chronic illness is a daily battle - I've been bed-bound for 5 years due to this.
Say hi and let's connect. 📷

Hello Bluesky, it's good to be on this platform.
I'm a photographer based on the UK and I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals.
