I have always been fascinated by the idea that the Snowdonia National Park has a hole in the middle, otherwise known as Blaenau Ffestiniog. It is an area of slate quarrying set within spectacular surroundings, and most of my photography in 2006 was done there. The results can be seen in the book BLAENAU FFESTINIOG, published in March 2007, accompanied by the work of Gwyn Thomas, recently the Welsh National Poet. See also the "Between Earth and Heaven" Gallery above.
Photographs from the book will be exhibited at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, from Sepember 20th - November 22nd 2008, followed by a short tour. I hope it will be shown in Blaenau during summer 2009.
There will be an article about the project in the October 2008 issue of Outdoor Photography.
It may be of interest that I have been using digital capture since August 2007. After a couple of months struggling with a Canon 20D I updated to a 40D. It can't only have been me whose nose pressed the menu buttons while looking through the viewfinder of the 20D, can it? For more thoughts on equipment, click here.

After over twenty five years photographing in Wales, there are now many thousands of interesting and inspiring 35 mm images in my collection. Have a look in the Galleries here for examples, but remember that I can only show a small percentage of the available images.
As well as standard 35mm transparencies there are a fair few in panoramic format (24 x 65 mm). Since August 2007 I have been using digital capture.
All are available for reproduction by individuals, organisations or publishers.

An exhibition print can be created for you from any image from the Gallery pages, the Wild Wales / Cymru Wyllt postcard series, or any Jeremy Moore publication. It will be printed using the well-proven Ilfochrome (Cibachrome) process which is guaranteed lightfast. Each image is limited to an edition of twenty, although in practice very few images will ever reach this level - the most popular is currently at number 12. |
