Just back from what was an utterly magical Hneymoon with my beautiful wife, Mel. South Africa is such an amazing country.
We were lucky enough to spend 3 days on Safari at the Shamwari game reserve - they do some incredibly important work out there and it was a genuine pleasure to spend some time with all the staff and take in the breathtaking environment that they work in on a daily basis.

Light Painting / Single Long Exposure
One of the 'new ideas' from earlier...you can probably just make out the faint red line that was following the purple line around. It did not work that well, but there's a lot of trial and error going on at the moment!
Onwards and upwards!

Well, I had to start getting back in shape sooner or later! My wedding is now in only 4 months time and that is incentive enough to make me start this running lark once again.
Managed an 8k run tonight....and now collapsed on the sofa!

With the kind assistance of David Pikebubbles Gilliver as chief fire
starter, I was able to carry out a firey sky experiment with my KAP
gear.
More mileage in this for sure. Work in progress.

# 2
.
As I celebrate 25 years of photographing miniatures, toys & figurines, I have turned my attention back to one of the subject matters I spent most of my time studying and photographing during my Degree at the Glasgow School of Art: Toy soldiers.
.
For as long as I can remember toy soldiers have fascinated me, and when I discovered the incredible photographs captured by the artist David Levinthal I was blown away. This, in part, led to me documenting many of my childhood toys during my degree in the late 90’s.
.
Playing with toy soldiers was one of my favourite pastimes as a youngster. Children learn so much about life through the act of play, albeit whilst possessing a limited ability to comprehend the real life consequences mirrored within the story lines that are played out.
.
The theme of war is ever present in all of our lives. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not (if we have that luxury) is another matter. It is a constant – an inevitability, like death and taxes.
.
In late 2023 I spent a grand total of ~£30 sourcing hundreds of the cheapest and most generic toy soldiers I could find. I literally bought armies of them.
.
During my degree, I became fascinated by the notion of what happens to a toy when it is entirely removed from its intended use and original context. Just like I did in the late 90’s, I have photographed the figurines individually with nothing but a blank backdrop for company, laying bear the imperfections of each character.
.
I could count on one hand the number of times I have used a ‘filter’ in any of my photography, but for this series it felt somehow necessary. Perhaps because it adds to the sense of drama, perhaps because it helps to mask the fact they are merely toys, I am not entirely sure. But something interesting happened to each image when it was added.
.
I have spent a lot of time carefully editing/refining the figurines that are depicted: perfecting their imperfections. I will upload one image per day from this new series throughout January.

On the final night of our mimi-moon, there was the most incredible electrical storm. Sadly I did not have any of my proper gear with me as we were on holiday to get away from everything, but I managed to fire off a couple of long exposures using the side of the jacouzi to balance my camera on!
