On the fringe

As a previous resident of the wonderful city of Edinburgh, and a great fan of the performing arts, the Edinburgh Festival is a real joy. Just walking around the city, especially the Royal Mile, is fab and you can’t beat an afternoon of people watching and celeb spotting at The Pleasance Courtyard.
This year my top...

Returning to Barcelona

Barcelona holds a special place in my heart as it is where I first experimented with an SLR camera. I still have images of Gaudi’s Pedrera chimneys on the wall at home. For years I have been keen to get back there and photograph some more.
Anyone who has been to Barcelona will know that there...

Having been to Barcelona I can appreciate your love of it but I have to say Clare, I am absolutely blown away by your photographs. Truly stunning – particularly the puddle reflection image. Would love that blown up!

Love it love it love it! Whenever I think of Barca, on of the first things I think of is the street performers. Love the way you’ve captured another side to them.
It is definitely one our favourite cities. We’re going back in September – guess what – it’ll be our first city break with our SLR!

Nude cyclist :) great timing with your camera, as always.
Also love the reflections in the 4 windows with 4 people on the steps in front. Very nicely framed.

A Berlin Birthday

I was treated to a weekend in Berlin to celebrate my big three-oh (dear!)
What a fantastic city to photograph – history, great architecture, the contemporary art scene, inspiring galleries and really friendly people.

The highlight for me was the dome at the Reichstag designed by Norman Foster. It was an amazing structure – you could see...

The image of Foster’s glass dome will be published in a book one day. It’s perfect.

Clare, such an amanzing array of wonderful photos! I particularly like Museum Island photo in Berlin and how you’ve captured it as a reflection.

Absolutely loving the Berlin pictures, i took loads of the graffiti when i was there but yours look a million times better than mine!

I really like what you have done with the colour in these pictures. Berlin is a fab city and has some great colourful (and some less colourful!) bits which you have really captured.
