I used a painterly ethereal lenses to create a fictional idealistic view on wildlife sourcing inspiration from Beatrix Potter and Tufty, to present an anthropomorphic characterisation of squirrels collecting their autumnal store of nuts for the winter.
My images are fine art narratives using toys in human situations. Cultural references such as idioms, and societal references to Generation Y's obsession with self-image/narcissism, portray, convey, and question life and its challenges to the human condition. The images highlight my ability of using scale to mislead the observer, with the toys ranging from 1/4 size to 1/76 size.
An old chain hanging from a fence. Testing out a Minolta Rokkor 55mm f/1.7 lens which came as part of a purchase of ebay for next to nothing.
If your looking to get a cheap vintage lens for photography or video, I can highly recommend this one, it's fantastic considering it was produced between 1966-1972 :)
Sometimes things happen that turn everything completely upside down. One moment everything is fine and the next everything collapses.
One of our dogs and my long-time companion were diagnosed with cancer last week during a routine check-up. Unfortunately, it is so advanced that nothing more can be done. He's still doing quite well, but it's a question of time and it won't be very long now. We're probably only talking about weeks or, if things go well, a few months. I can't begin to describe how this diagnosis hit us last week and has had us firmly in its grip ever since. At the moment we are endeavouring to give him the best time of his life.
This photo was taken two days ago on one of our now really intensive walks.
