Both images are taken in Heysham - Four Seasons took a lot more than four visits to St Peter's Church to provide the images for the composite view. Ever since I saw this scene in Notting Hill , I've wanted to create a composite still image that captures all four seasons in one image!

Morecambe Bay Partnership were successful in bidding for Lottery funding to bring a number of art works to the bay - some temporary and some, as Anna Gillespie's Ship are permanent. This sculpture provides an imposing addition to the view at Half Moon Bay.

I'm not very good at blogging! 
I never got round to posting about our joint exhibition at Inspire - a wonderful gift shop and gallery on New Street in Lancaster! However the other 2 pictures are more topical: they are currently on display in the window - to tie in with Lancaster's Festa Italia.

It's about 4 years since I realised that I had quite a collection of manipulated photographs of sculptures - so I submitted the idea for an exhibition to a gallery not a million miles from where we now live. Alas it was turned down (though later I was invited to be involved in a group exhibition at the same venue - this prompted me to take (and manipulate) more sculpture images!

The pictures in this exhibition date from the 1990s (Hang on Mum is the oldest and originated on slide film! The most recent is Seahorses featuring Eric Gill's iconic sculpture from the Midland Hotel, Morecambe. 

Some of the images were simple and easy to shoot - but Speed  involved numerous visits to Liverpool to take the image when the light was right. Hang on Mum had been planned over 12 months in advance, waiting for the right lighting conditions on a Sunday. It was shot from stepladders with Lin out of shot guarding the teddy bear (yes, it was in the picture when I shot it - it's not a digital addition!

It wasn't until I was reviewing images that I'd taken of The Dream that I realised the cloud formation looked like a "thought bubble" - unfortunately I didn't have a photograph of the pit head gear that used to stand on this site, so I used one from Ashington, Northumberland. 

Whilst our younger daughter lived in Lincoln, I had walked past Empowerment many times, but the sun never caught it at the right angle (or wasn't shining at all). It wasn't until judging at a local camera club where someone had entered a picture with the sun really emphasising the lines on the lower figure that I realised I'd just never walked past at the right time! I took it at an angle so as not to include nearby buildings - and presented  it with the statues at the angle they really are (more or less).

Johnny , Simon & I have joined together again to give these photographs another outing - but as the exhibition space is larger than the Dukes, we have added some new/different image. Sadly this could well be the last exhibition in this venue, as it is due to cloe at the end of 2016.
