A man leans forward held up by the wind, his jacket fills with wind and his shape echoes the Hoy hills behind. The image is dark and storm clouds gather.

Photographing the wind

A shed is encrusted with shells in repeated patterns. Scallop shells give bold rectangular frames and a central circular design. In the house's only window hang three tiny lifebelts.

From Hamnavoe to Holyrood

A group of people gather in a Stromness Street to catch up. A young man in flares turns to look at the camera and an older man peeks from behind his wife to smile

Looking back at you

A man in an orange oilskin and blue dungarees and blue fisherman's cap stands proudly beside a huge pile of tangle stipes lying bent over a wall, behind him the shore and sea.

An aerial view of the north end of North Ronaldsay. The Old Beacon 18th century lighthouse sits sunlit just off centre of the photograph. All around the foot of the lighthouse stone enclosures, punds for sheep, etch themselves along the shoreline. Beyond a loch and the sea on the horizon.

3 Stone Lines

Two weighty golden haybales lie in the foreground of a newly harvested field, the field appears striped and dotted with haybales in the distance, far off two telegpaph poles peirce the skyline, all this shape and form under a blue sky filled with rising clouds

Angle of vision

A sea misted view of the Hoy hills, a low light picks up the rock shelf on the shore under a slate sky coloured with blue, the dark waves are capped with white, a storm brews.

High and low, mild and furious

St Magnus Kirk on Egilsay photographed from the sky, a long shadow of the turret cuts across the kite shape creaed by the stone wall.

Look a little longer

The artists Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Russian composer, and Viktoria Postnikova, Russian pianist, in dark raincoats, his back facing the camera and his head turned as he links arms with Viktoria who smiles eyes closed facing the camera hands in pockets.

They all come to me!
