Cyanotype print of a jackdaw on a hawthorn tree. From my Jackdaw series 💙

A cyanotype print of a jackdaw on a hawthorn tree. The image is blue but the branches are black as is the jackdaw in the centre of the image. The tree has white blossom on it.

I made tiny proof prints yesterday! It’s been a while. T-Max 400, expanded development with HC-110. #pinhole negative.

Thank you so much, Gerry! That’s very perceptive- I remember every image taken & I think I have always photographed them in full knowledge that these moments are fleeting.

Thank you so much, Phil! My husband always ribs me about my obsession with light 🤣

From my September series. A long term project of photographing my children with a 5x4 camera using instant film 🖤

A black and white photograph of a girl paddling in a lake - she is looking down at the water. She is wearing a summer dress & the light shines on her hair and water.

Definitely not alone 💙💙
