Obviously, I know I'm merely projecting these human characteristics, and I'll assert my confidence up-front that it's not just me sliding into early dementia here: Flickr and the like are awash, judging by the comments, with ' malevolent' weather systems, ' brooding' mountains, ' dancing' streams, and generically ' moody' examples of just about everything. ![]() In other words, I've recently been anthropomorphising images wildly. I keep seeing human behaviours and emotional states in photographic subjects which I know full well are not human and don't have such characteristics trees, rocks, clouds, that sort of thing. I've also just started a blog, mostly as a diary of how I came to make certain images and general musings/thoughts on photography. More of my work may be viewed on my portfolio ( ) or on my Flickr site ( ). I am based in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, in the north of England. Having travelled widely, and been an active mountaineer on four continents, I am now keen to use my experience of the many forms of light I've seen to envisage and create photographs which capture the character of those wild landscapes, and I am using photography as a reason to revisit favourite countries and locations. Currently, many of the images I am creating are when the sun is below the horizon, or thoroughly hidden by cloud, revealing the subtlety of colours inherent within water, rock and foliage. When making photographs, my inspiration lies in catching and interpreting those types of light which are less familiar.
