They say artists don’t make good business types. They’re just too creative with wild imagination and for me this rings true to a certain extent. When I’m wandering the mountains with my camera and notebook, contemplating a sublime view and thinking about how to turn it into a photograph, the last thing on my mind is the actual technical process of getting it from my head to a finished print. I’d much rather concentrate on the fun parts. Working the composition, waiting for the light to be right, examining my reaction to the scene and perhaps creating some poetry in the form of a gaiku to match up the atmosphere of the place and my mood. I envision the finished print but contemplation of long hours at the computer to get there has no place in my “creation space”.

Skye Shepherd Huts prints

I was asked by Janet at Skye Shepherd Huts if I could provide a framed print for each of her beautiful huts, so I decided to frame one of my favourites of the Skye landscape, Stormbow. A passing storm lit up the dark moors of south Skye last year with a very colourful rainbow. The other hut has another framed panorama print of the local landscape on a day of crystal clear clarity with the mountains of Knoydart arrayed under towering cumulous clouds.
