Swimming

A stunning blue sky day arrived out of nowhere so I went for a swim. A solitary bird wheeled above me, seemingly intent on watching the waves roll in.

Storms and Jigsaws

Earlier in the year I photographed the Valentine's Day storm ripping apart Penzance promenade, even though it is constructed of two-ton granite blocks. The swells were heavy enough to break up the jigsaw construction and scatter hundreds of them along the shoreline.  Valentine's jigsaw destruction The blocks were recovered from the sea bed and craned onto the top of the prom where they have rested all summer, awaiting someone to come and replace them.

Holes drilled in the blocks so they can be lifted  The engineers st...

 What to put up on your wall Here at Cornish Seascapes we believe in putting a seascape print up on any wall space that's available!  But we would say that wouldn't we, so here's a few ideas from an amazing whole building design project we helped with, which was completed last year.    There were some very specific areas that needed an image, and having chosen a certain picture, the rest of the room was designed around colours picked from the photos Straight edged Aluminium prints fit well with the architectural lines.  The image is UV printed directly onto the panel which hangs flush  with the wall, so it doesn't protrude into the room.

Artist of the Month shoots for Cornwall Today magazine always provide interesting people, frequently with amazing art works, and I feel privileged to be able to photograph this aspect of the creative Cornish life.  Mary Mabbutt, Cornwall Today, May 2014 Rachael Kantaris, Cornwall Today, June 2014 I usually shoot quite a few pictures when we (writer Alex Wade and I) visit the artists, of which sometimes only three will make it on to the printed page, so it's great for the other images get an outing too. You can now find the rest of the shoot in the magazine's new Artists Gallery . So much for culture, for God's sake tell us about the extreme sports! I hear you cry. Well the surfing end of the extreme sports spectrum is alive and well in Cornwall, with Spring time blue swells aplenty thu...
