Moberg & Tait reverberate

A rock cliff solid in the left hand of the frame is home to hundreds of seabirds, beneath the firmness of the rock swils white spume of a quick dark sea.

Portrait of Gunnie in t-shirt with slogan 'Greenpeac Save the seals'

Outstanding

A figure strides betwen two sections of a shipwrecked boat, he is dwarfed by its size. People gather to look at the debris, the white stripe of the boats hull leads you into the sentre of the image.

Dangerous shores

A finely dressed woman looks down at her tethered cow who sniffs her foot, black and white photograph taken using flash so that the couple appear out of the black.

Mary and Buttercup

Display case with Gunnie's cameras, film rolls, print boxes and projector

Closing remarks

This aerial shot of Maeshowe dusted with snow and thrown into 3D by the low winter sun, looks like a limpet clinging to a beach rock.

Walkie Talkie

Running wild

Swans crowd the foreground of a snowy blue scene of the white hills of Hoy

Swan vista

A double exposure of honesty in a vase, the transluscent seed heads creating the outline of the jug's handle.

New leaf

Aerial blacka nd white of Stromness covered in a light dusting of snow. In red pen written in Gunnie's hand 'varat hus' with a big arrow pointing down to 'our house'

God Jul

A man and woman sit in light from the window at the table of tea cups and baking. Behind them a box bed. The photograph is blacka nd white and taken from a high position, perhaps Gunnie was standing on a chair.

Thanks for visiting

Case Closed Exhibition Open

A miniature Faroese village of tiny brightly coloured model houses clings to a rocky mound in a field in Shetland.

Coming to a town near you

A man stands dwarfed by the gigantic fish he has caught. The vast white underside of a halibut takes up more than half of the frame of this portrait.

Catch of the day

An aerial black and white photograph of oat stacks9 sit in two rows, the low sun casts a dark shadow from each stack and they look loke buttons on a military jacket.

Across time

An almost conical island sits mid framne in the sea, rich greebn grass gives a velvet look to the rough isle.

news from here

Between the dark shapes of two houses a flagtone lane leads down to the sea. The narrow opening reveals shore shed's uneven roof and there in the sea a yole, its sail a narrow triangle.

It has to do with space

Orkney shore

Fishing nets dry in the wind on a washing line. A fishing community's version of sheets drying on the line.

More 24

A figure strides betwen two sections of a shipwrecked boat, he is dwarfed by its size. People gather to look at the debris, the white stripe of the boats hull leads you into the sentre of the image.

24 islands 24 hours

A triangle of steel contains red licking flames, the image is construcetd with the black traingle at the bottom of the frame, red yellow dancing flames central and the top of the frame is filled with grey smoke.

Flotta Flare

An island hangs mid frame topped by a small cloud and growing from sea fog. In the foreground seven geese sit and stretch on the grass, between them and the island a clear blue sea.
