Our view

I never tire of the view from my flat in Montpelier, Bristol. Yes I hate living in a flat. Thats decided. The dragging of numerous bikes up and down the stairs, listening to my neighbours sex habits, putting up with the freeholders greed and ability for leaks to cause absolute havoc have taken a toll on my sanity. But this view is a leveller.

Taken in-between the Hinterlands workshop and our talks this year when the summer was just starting to show it's face. Brenda Kenneally and Rebecca Harley were over my shoulder and I'm sure they will remember the striking light on this evening. Peace out.x

Amanda came on the Hinterlands with Brenda Ann Kenneally and she is a great photographer, person and it was great to have her here over in the UK.

A few frames from roll #2 of my start at processing my c41 rolls from the Mamiya 7 I have come to love. There really is something magical about late nights, dark rooms, chemicals and the suspense.

Really happy to have a piece that I worked on appear in #9 of cycling mag Boneshaker. Go and grab an it now - it's the one that looks nice, has articles about riding, great pictures and doesn't have any free stickers..

The piece I photographed/wrote is called digmore and I would just like to say a big thanks to George at digmore for letting me take a bit of his story and for Lucy's edit on my copy.
