Friends of York Art Gallery Artist Q&A
I have been recently been asked to take part in a virtual interview for the Friends of York Art Gallery. As the gallery has been closed for a few months the organisers have devised several ways to keep the 800 members of the Friends engaged over this period when face to face activities cannot take place.
Askham Bog - YWT
Askham Bog was under threat from developers, (Barwood), that had applied to build 500 houses on adjoining land.

Frosty Skipwith Common
After a long stretch of boring winter weather the day dawned with some interesting mist and hoar frost on the trees. I spent a while working out which location would provide me with trees that would separate out from the landscape but also provide diminishing layers. Skipwith Common got my vote.

Le Tour de Yorkshire
Having missed the main event last year I was determined to get into York to see the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire.
York at Night - November 4 2014
At this time of year there is plenty going on in York to entice a photographer into York City Centre. Not only is there the Illuminating York Festival during half term week but of course the Gunpowder Plot of York's most dastardly son, Guy Fawkes, is celebrated.
