This collection of recently made photographs will rotate and is reserved for work which is still under appraisal as far as I’m concerned. Some of the work seen here will eventually reappear in a discrete gallery. Others will quietly die away as their limitations become more apparent to me. For now, I’m including examples from two projects.

The first dozen photographs are from my second visit to Nova Scotia in October 2008. I went in search of a simple, primitive style of photograph, which I thought I’d find amongst the wooden houses and harbours of a community with many traditional values- the sort of photograph one imagines can be found on the New England shore, or maybe Cape Cod, but turns out elusive in those parts.

In contrast, a street near Waterloo Station in London has hosted an exhibit of stencil art since mid 2008, including some luminaries of the form. It’s a bit hard to dismiss this as mere graffiti I think. My approach here is often to juxtapose different works, or to select a small detail from one, as an alternative to the simple reproduction of those works I most enjoy. Is this adding value, or simply documenting? Don’t know.
