Having managed 51 of last years 52Frames I feel I need to maintain that momentum. I think I completed more drawing, painting etc than I have done since leaving college. So, I started this blog in January and never got to post it. I need to update it and put it...
The challenge this week is Redo. I chose the image I had done for Chaos for a couple of reasons. I enjoyed the process but was not happy with the end result. The oil pastel and Indian Ink etching is something I have wanted to experiment with. It was not a time...
Break the Rules! is the challenge for this week, set by 52Frames. I am going away in a couple of days and then its Christmas so I wanted something that didn't seem too involved. I decided I would try and create an image from a photograph trying to make it look...
Roll of 24, the challenge from 52Frames this week, refers back to film photography. The idea is to shoot 24 photos and then just pick one. I decided to go with photography this week, partly as I had an idea shooting Xmas lights, and partly as I was busy...

This weeks challenge set by 52Frames is Animals. I was rather pleased because I have some photos of heavy horses that I have been trying to get into one of the briefs. This week it’s an easy fit! I saw these horses being readied for the show at Poynton a few...
Wabi-sabi is this week's challenge for 52Frames. This is a Japanese concept that centres around acceptance of imperfection and impermanence. The extra challenge this week is abandoned buildings and I do have some suitable reference, but think they would...
Food is the challenge this week for 52Frames. My friend suggested trying Pointillism. It is a technique I had never tried before so thought it would be good for this weeks picture. I had a look at a couple of tutorials on line which were helpful. I put...
The 52Frames challenge this week is Street Photography. I think its a great challenge, although I expect it was much easier at the time I took this, than it is now. I wasn't sure I would have time to do this justice, as it feels like setting up the exhibition...
Have spent the day setting up my exhibition. I am pleased with how it looks. Starts on Sunday so fingers crossed. ...
