LATEST PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK NEWS

I am currently working on my next "Rivers of Wales" book which will follow Afon Conwy from its source in Llyn Conwy high up in the Migneint near Llanfestiniog through to the north coast of Wales at Llandudno. Also included will be the Machno, Lledr and Llugwy from their sources high up in the mountains to where they join with the Conwy - to be published probably early 2011 (tide and weather dependent!)

EXHIBITIONS

"TIDE / LLANW"
At Theatr Ardudwy - Harlech 1 July - 30 August 2010

My latest photographic exhibition is about the powerful influence the tides have on the north coast of Wales - how over the years waves carve and shape the rock into beautiful shapes and patterns to create an ever-changing shoreline and the winter tides expose ancient tree roots and peat diggings at Borth and Tywyn.

"ELEMENTS"
A Black-and-White and Colour Photographic Exhibition
This exhibition explores our relationship with the landscape through images of Stone, Water and Wood. The images are of the natural elements and also how man has changed the landscape for personal use. It also explores the effects of time and changes in light in colour image at sunset. It is now available for booking


"RHOSYDD - A PERSONAL VIEW"
This black-and-white exhibition depicts the ruined Rhosydd Slate Quarry which is situated above Blaenau Ffestiniog and it illustrates a poem written in 1930 by an ex-quarryman. It is also available for booking
