Our long awaited Norfolk holiday :)

September 25, 2021

Heading out of the city:





To the Norfolk Broads:


An explosion of colour welcomed our arrival at Martham, on the Norfolk Broads. A glowing Horse Chestnut tree marked our car parking space at our holiday accommodation for the next week. I couldn't help myself but pick a conker from its almost psychedelic branches and I will give germinating and growing a little Horse Chestnut tree....





Our holiday let and the view from its back garden was both more spacious and picturesque than suggested by its advertisement on the internet. I suppose its nice to be pleasantly surprised with our accommodation and setting on arrival than disappointed.






And for the goths amongst us, here are a couple of moodier images:



The evening ended with a visit from this little fella - found sat on our doorstep as we locked up for the night:

I love the effect the rain gives off in this photograph of a sun-shower over Townhill Park, Swansea. This image will 100% appear in the latest issue of my fotozine Sweyne's Eye:

A Busy Day

With my fotozine Passenger Seat now sent to the press, I think its time to curate a new series of photographs for the forthcoming new Sweyne's Eye zine. It's tentatively titled Swansea City Sunsets. Here are the first two pics from the project:

Passenger Seat - Acceleration


Well, this happened quicker than I had envisioned. I am already on the design stage of my new fotozine Passenger Seat. Hopefully this will be published some time next week :)

Unfortunately, during the editing stage, I had to lose some of the images from this project that I have already shared here in Pixie-Led studio. I hope that I can utilise the removed photographs sometime in a future publication.

Let me in...

Passenger Seat fotozine up date

Writing up the intro for the fotozine Passenger Seat

 As you can probably see by the amount of Passenger Seat images I have been sharing lately, my latest fotozine is progressing far faster than I had envisioned. It looks likely, though I do have to be cautious as I still have a third draft of Gobble to work through over the next five or six weeks, that I may be able to get this zine published a good few months ahead of schedule :) Watch this space...
