Picture series of the day.

'A Crystal Day' A series of black and white images taken one morning up on a Swiss alp. Very surreal, no air pollution = very clear and sharp images taken on 25 ASA Kodak document film developed for continuous tone. A favourite technique of mine in the late 1980's early 1990's before I went over to film then digital colour.

Jumbo is delighted to be included in this Victoria and Albert museum show. on until 19th March 2013.

Picture of the day.

I have lived in London since 1980. I have been taking pictures in this place for all of those years. I am working on a book which I hope to publish 2014. Here are a tiny selection of images from the series, from now and from a long time ago, in young style and mature style.
