Beating the Bounds

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:16:58 +0100

My book Beating the Bounds is progressing nicely. I’ve been walking the same boundaries twice a day all winter and into this spring. I hope to have the book completed by mid or late summer.

BEATING THE BOUNDS
Before maps were in common use, walking the boundaries of the parish or farm enabled people to share the knowledge of where they lay. In Britain the custom involved beating the boundary with a stick or stripped willow branch known as a wand. By beating of certain stones, trees or other marker points with the wand, they impressed the boundaries into their memories.
You could say I’ve been beating the boundaries with my camera!

Round Britain

A couple of weeks ago I chanced upon Rowland Woollven and Cath Tanner who are circumnavigating mainland Britain by Sea Kayak. I happened to meet them at Ceibwr bay, Moylgrove while out on a shoot. Apparently the head wind was so strong out of the bay that they were putting in a lot of effort but making little headway so had decided to rest up for the day and hopefully make better headway in the morning. It was great having the opportunity to meet them and hear about their expedition and we wish them luck. They started their journey in mid April this year from Ilfracombe. You can follow their progress on this link.

Shadow Waves

Sorry about the absence of blogs since Christmas but I’ve been so absorbed in my work over the last couple of months that there hasn’t been any time left at the end of the day. I’ve been working on three Photographic Books and setting up a large project for the spring. (More about that later).

Today I managed to get out and catch these wave shots after fairly rough weather last night. Some amazing things happening with light and shadow.
