I haven’t posted anything for a few months. ‘Why?’ I hear you clamouring … OK someone please clamour. Well I have been taking photographs for longer than I care to reveal (but my first camera was a Brownie 127 ) yet it was only 2 years ago that I joined the Royal Photographic Society. And I joined deciding to work for a distinction and whilst it is achievable for many capable and experienced photographers, and after all how hard can a panel of 10 images be; and the answer is quite hard, with much agonising over choices, self-examination, peer reviews, letting go of some cherished images, incorporating new images, adjustments in photoshop, removing over adjustments; you get the idea.

Well at the end of last year I was awarded the distinction of Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society. And yes I am very pleased , proud and honoured. Yet that is only the beginning. Not only do I now want to work for the next level of distinction, associateship, but also the whole process of achieving my current level has caused much reflection and thought on photography and the process of imagination to create images.

So now I am ready to move on and whilst I will always have time for the sort of images I have posted in the past it is time for change and some new thought processes. Watch this space.

Notwithstanding this, though most of my licentiateship images have been seen individually on this site, here, perhaps for their last performance together, is the entire panel. I hope you enjoy.
