2021 - A YEAR OF NEW CHALLENGES

31/12/2020

Whilst the spectre of Covid-19 is still very much hanging over us as we move into this new year, I'm hopeful that with the impending vaccines and the resolve of the British people, light will eventually, if not slowly emerge from this awful darkness. It is with that light that I hope to continue to use whatever time I can get to continue to challenge myself photographically.

One of my plans is to expand on the work I did for the mindSCAPE 'Our Favourite Places' project and roll this idea out across firstly the Forest of Dean, and then if successfully, Gloucestershire and beyond, helping to raise money for the Dementia Action Alliance.

Once present restrictions are lifted, I plan to get out and about on the streets again to continue my Street Photography portfolio People Stories. Please come back and visit soon and keep safe and well.
