Very First Blog



Dear Friends
Welcome to my very first Blog.

While researching the Fine Art of Blogging, I came across the words of the legendary photographer Jay Maisel, the original master of Kodachrome and a constant inspiration throughout my photography career. Jay Maisel
He says,  "I love the idea of writing a blog, but horrified at the thought of doing it (or anything else) on a regular, formal basis. So this blog will be informal, irregular, informative and of course profane."
Informal and profane... I like that. Thank You Jay Maisel!

I've recently been updating an on-going project on the Hastings fishing community. It's something I began back in 1992, while still living in London. Now we live here and it felt appropriate to continue the project, this time emphasising the families that are involved in commercial fishing here in Hastings. The fathers and sons, brothers, cousins, nephews, in-laws and assorted relations that all work together, trying to survive in a very difficult industry.
There is a possibility that these images will be shown in the House of Commons Upper Waiting Hall. Please stay tuned.
