Max and Minnie (23 Sep 2007)
Not a great picture by any standards, but this is almost the first picture I took of Max and Minnie, my Oriental Blacks, when I brought them home from Barbara who bred them. Very sadly…
Joe Waiting (07 Sep 2007)
Joe is a gliding instructor and is sitting in the back seat of a K21 training glider. He and his student are waiting to get launched at the Scottish Gliding Union. I printed this for a competition…
Paul Löbe House, Berlin (21 Apr 2007)
This striking building is just over the river from the Reichstag, and is part of the parliamentary complex. I loved the colours in the glass, and the family group giving it scale. Flickr Photopage Shutter…

Leeds City Station (24 Oct 2006)
I have enjoyed railways for many years, and had watched the redevelopment of Leeds City Station with great interest. I moved to Fife just as they were finishing it, but a business visit to Leeds…
