Chastleton House - National Trust
19th August 2010
I've agreed an exciting and challenging commission with the National Trust to photograph the interiors throughout Chastleton House in Oxfordshire. So far I've made two visits. Images from the first visit are now on my website - (linked here). More will be added as the project progress over the next few months.
Colour Gallery Reorganisation
20th July 2010
I've started a new portfolio - Clouds & Skies - in colour (linked here). Just a couple to start with but I hope to add a few more soon. This has entailed creating a separate portfolio for my colour pictures from Umbria. In future I'll create a new portfolio for each new colour topic.
New 'New Black and White Images' portfolio
08th June 2010
I've added a new portfolio page where I'll add my new black and white work (linked here). I'll leave images there for a few weeks before (hopefully) replacing them with more new work. These new images will also be placed in their appropriate porfolio pages. I'll not be adding new colour work here - they'll go straight to my colour portfolio (linked here).
Addition of Digital Colour
08th June 2010
Finally, I've decided that I'll show some of my work in colour taken with my Canon 7D. I've been taking colour pictures for the last 45 years but they are mostly for family or holiday shots. This is not about to take over from my B&W work - I'm a dyed-in-the-wool black and white film photographer. But that's not to preclude an occasional excursion into colour using digital capture. I have a new portfolio (linked here) which in the first instance just contains work from Umbria earlier this year. In time I'll add other work into seperate portfolios.
New set of Home Page images
07th June 2010
They've remained unchanged for getting on for a year, so time to refresh my home page image set. Though I have kept the church window - one of my personal favourites.
New Portfolio / Gallery - Glamorgan Coast
07th June 2010
I've now embarked on a project to photograph along the beautiful and unusual Glamorgan Coast, particularly between Ogmore-by-Sea and the power station at Aberthaw. I've opened a new gallery (linked here) on my website to include all images from that project. I'll add images after each visit - assuming I've managed to find something to show. Once the project is complete I'll review the content and perhaps cull some to limit the total to no more than two dozen images.
First new images for over 6 months
30th May 2010
My large format photography has been very quiet over the last 6 months. I've finally got around to processing a few images from Ironbridge and a few from the start of a new project photographing along the Glamorgan Coast. I intend for this project to become very much more active ... The new images are placed in their respective galleries but can been seen together at the top of the 'Latest Additions' page, ... here, or follow the link at the bottom of my 'Home' page.

Six new images added
26th August 2009
Just added six new B&Ws images from the last 2 days walking on the Cotswold Way. I'm managing to keep up with the processing such that the last of these was taken on yesterdays's walk. I don't expect to be able to keep this up over the next few weeks. This link takes you to the "Latest Images" page where the 24 most recently uploaded images are shown.
Five new images added
18th August 2009
Five new images (#2174, #2176, #2180, #2182, #2184) from the last three days of walks are now in The Cotswold Way Gallery.

Website Makeover
04th August 2009
My Virtually Grey Gallery is currently undergoing a total makeover. I've neglected it for over two years, and it showed. During that time I've been very active with my photography so I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm moving from a self designed website to a template based one supplied by Photium. It seems to have all the flexibility and customisation that I need and is certainly much easlier to populate and maintain - essential as that's been the main deterrent to my managing and updating my earlier website. It will have the same URL though I am changing the hosting as part of the Photium package.

I'm using the opportunity to cull some images as well as reorganise the remainder and add many new images. I'm still planning to show a large slice of my work rather than just a small selection.
