Wall

Image taken in North Queensferry (Fife).  Detail shows wonderful textures and colours of the worn stones that make up a wall near to the harbour and just under the world famous railway bridge sited nearby.

Welcome home

This property was being watched when I visited Newark in New Jersey........

Eyes over Broadway

A movie poster looms behind one of the iconic Broadway street signs in New York City.........

Cracked column

This column can be found on The Stradun in the beatiful walled city of Dubrovnik in Croatia.

New postcard range

These are just some of the 26 designs for my new postcard range which is under development and should be out very soon.  The range features images taken from the succesful range of greeting cards that are currently available.  Depending on reaction (and sales!!) I do hope to produce some original artwork exclusively for postcards in the coming months.

 

Stars and stripes

Captured on New York's 5th Avenue.  Just one of the many flags seen during the countless parades held on Manhatten Island.

Panelled door

[[posterous-content:pid___0]][[posterous-content:pid___1]]This finely carved wooden door is the entrance to a bank in Edinburgh.  Located in St Andrews Square this bank has lain empty for years, well before the current malaise, and was perhaps a portent of things to come..?

The full door and one detail shot.

Brooklyn Bridge

The iconic bridge that spans the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City......

St Andrew

A statue of St Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, on George Street in Edinburgh.

Close

Looking down a small close (alley) in Dunbar Scotland.  As well as my eye, the ceramic tiles caught the 'light at the end of the tunnel'.........

Palm Springs

This beautifully carved gate is in Palm Springs, California.  The rustic Mexicana style is very prevelent here and sits alongside the 'modern' architectural styles of the 50's and 60's tnat are so prevelent in the area.

 

Holyrood Palace

Detail taken from the wonderfully ornate fountain sited just outside the entrance to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh.

Evening News article

My photography was featured in Edinburgh's main newspaper today.  The paper edition of the Edinburgh evening News was actually a double page spread with 8 images which you can see on this post.  Thanks to the team at the paper for their coverage which promoted my current exhibition and were so very complimentary about my imagery..........

Edinburgh exhibition

Exhibition at the Fine Art Library all set up.  Very pleased with the way it looks and the collection of imagery on display.  Looking forward to getting feedback from visitors to the library and exhibitioon space.

Utca shadows

Long shadows are cast on Andrassy Avenue in Budapest Hungary.  This evocative black and white shot reminds me of many periods in time but in my mind it harks back to the 50's...

'Utca' is Hungarian for 'street'. 

Newhaven harbour in Edinburgh

Looking towards the lighthouse at the entrance to Newhaven harbour in Edinburgh.

Between 1572 and 1890, Newhaven was a major oyster port. It also played a role in the whaling industry, marked by the name "Whale Brae" at the northmost end of Newhaven Road. A lighthouse was built on the harbour wall in 1869.

My fathers family have connections with this harbour dating back generations.

Steel giraffes...

These cranes down at the docks in Edinburgh made me smile.  Looking like three giraffes lumbering along by the waterside with nowhere special to go.......a little like the cranes themselves that are now merely a relic of days gone by when the Port of leith was a busy gateway to the world.

Best seller!!

Card sales still going very well!  All designs being very well received and more outlets to be firmed up early next week.

One of 32 designs, 'Definition' a card showing a 1930's entry describing Edinburgh is selling particularly well......the text on the rear reads..

"Calligraphic detail showing Scotland's capital, Edinburgh. 

Residents and visitors alike will all have their own idea of how we should define this wonderfully diverse and exciting city"
