Reading Room



On the famous Worthing pier, there’s a partition of coloured glass panes running down the centre. I took this shot west along the English Channel through a green pane.




Another opportunity to remember Miles Davis.






At the end of the field we took a turning we’d never taken before and found ourselves on a public footpath we’d never been on before. I’m always taken by these types of tunnels of trees, probably because of W Eugene Smith’s famous image, and I made several attempts.




Disappointingly, the “free” Whitechapel Gallery wanted £12.50 for the Zineb Sedira exhibit we’d gone to see and there was not too much else (although the Andrew Pierre Hart was interesting). But there are always interesting spaces in galleries and museums. Watch this space for more.

A most unremarkable photo. I was struck by the tree and it’s shadow on the plain green background of the grass. I tried it in B&W but that didn’t really work for me. I tried reducing the saturation and a variety of other treatments. In the end I left it alone but changed it from Fuji’s Provia, my standard base raw interpretation to Fuji’s Classic Negative, which is somewhat less saturated. This is less bright green than I remember the original scene but more like the image I was trying to capture.
