Hi, I'm Matt, a photographer, amateur scribbler and computer prodder from South Wales, UK. I'm here on my newly minted PDS to post film photos, uncomfortably close pictures of bugs and some bits from my sketchbook.

#introduction

#FilmPhotography #Photography #art #MacroPhotography

a close up photo of a flower beetle inside a dandelion. the image is so close the flower fills the frame, leaving the beetle surrounded by abstract patterns of yellow from the stamens. it is eating the pollen off one of them

a black and white photo of an arched dome with a sweeping line of supports running along the bottom, forming an architectural abstract shape of converging lines

a black and white pen drawing of a humanoid shrew dressed as an archaeologist or explorer. it has a large backpack with tools, a telescope and a lantern on a long stick attached to the backpack. above it is the words "#24 expedition", referencing the inktober prompt that it was drawn for

a colour photo of an old-fashioned chapel window with small, square panes and metal frame, recessed into a stone wall. The window is a little ornate in shape, and has wooden panel trim. The photo around the window is mostly quite dark, with some hints of detail on the walls. The window itself is bathed with light from afternoon sun, casting beams and shadows on the wall and panels, for a very warm afternoon feel to the image

a black and white photo of a cloud sky with large fluffy clouds in front of very high, scattered cloud sheets. they are lit by the sun, with the larger clouds casting darker shadows to contrast. the glass domed building below just visible at the bottom of the frame is reflecting the light

The house opposite ours often gets deliveries from Tesco, and one of their vans has an image of a lot of strawberries on the side. My 3-year-old took to calling it "the strawberry van" so I thought "but what if...strawberry van", and here we are.

#watercolour #art #painting #illustration

a black ink and watercolour illustration of a van shaped like a giant strawberry. the side opens like a food truck, and a man inside is leaning out to point towards a menu on the side of the van. the van has wheels like an old fashioned cart, and bunting across the open side. It has a chimney at the top that is a bit crooked, and pigeons lined along the roof

a small girl dressed a bit like a witch stands on tiptoe to point towards her menu choice. a black cat sits next to her, looking towards the van

I found this today while sorting out a box of darkroom prints. Three Shires Head in Derbyshire - now a wild swimming haunt but deliciously quiet on the day I visited.

I'm just filling out the profile a little bit, and will not be spamming the tags this regularly in the future. Apologies for the noise.
