I’d like to share a small publishing milestone.

My book ‘Drystone - A Life Rebuilt’ has gone into a second print run.

And as there are so many wildly unrealistic ideas out there about how it all works, here are the numbers in plain terms

#Writing #WritingCommunity #Publishing #Books
A grid of nine copies of the book 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' by Kristie De Garis arranged in three neat rows against a soft blush-pink and white background. The covers show an abstract composition of painted stone shapes in deep greens, golds, blues and black, with the title overlaid in bold black type.

Would you mind if I gave my zines a little push again? Hopefully the first batch(es) have reached owners now. Maybe a good Christmas gift for someone who likes photography 👀.

Here are four pics of the same house taken over several years. #Zine #Photography

a large abandoned farm house from the back, mostly intact. a large abandoned farm house from the front, mostly intact. but with a collapsing left side and no windows or doors, just holes a large abandoned farm house from the front and side (different side to the other picture) on scrubby winter-looking grass. A window and chunk of side/roof is missing, as is the roof from the porch the same house but from a distance, on a summery looking day with blue skies and green frass. Sheep can be seen grazing in the background

I worked all sorts of street fests on Louisville's Main Street even before I moved into the loft there in 1991. These were made with a Yashicamat TLR.

I have been taking Polaroids of my garden and the views from it and divided them into seasons - an ongoing project that started a few years ago and here are a few from Winter on the Pennines.
A Polaroid picture of a view of a tree in the winter setting sun. The colours are a mix of pinks, browns and blacks - the tree is in the middle of the picture with the sun behind it. A Polaroid picture of a snow scene - there are trees and sheep as well as a traditional northern stone wall. A Polaroid picture of a snow scene - there is a snow dusted hill in the background with a woodland below. Cutting across the picture is a fence. The colours in this picture are white, black and blue. Another Polaroid of the setting sun in a winter scene - the sky is blue, purple and pink and the sun is just behind the tree - the land is snow covered.

Happy 80th birthday to the beautiful human @brucecockburn.bsky.social

This was a moment caught by Ali Jones I will treasure the rest of my days at the @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social when I'd captured the great man with a wet plate portrait.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

Jesus never claimed divinity. Yes he said he was the son of god, and he also said we are all children of god.

I’m pretty much a stone-cold atheist. Jesus, though? That guy was a sharp moral philosopher, in a time and place where being one was hazardous to your health.

It's the time of year when the frequency of the "Where can I see otters?" question increases.

I guess my usual reply of "it is up to the otters" doesn't help much...

Sophie shoots Iceland like few others I’ve come across. But having said that, she’s outdone herself here imho. Magnificent.

There's nothing quite like sitting on a hill watching the magical phenomenon of lava being thrown a couple of hundred metres up into the sky! This is a 0.3 second exposure of the eruption. I'd waited over two months to see this, having been avidly following on webcams since it began!

#Iceland
A long exposure shot of an erupting volcano, with a silhouetted crater and dark foreground, an intense red/orange area of lava being thrown to the right of the shot, some orange cloud, a line of orange lava flowing away in the foreground, and some darkening skies behind.

Hello all! Myself and two friends are cycling 250 miles along the Caledonian Way this Saturday. We are hoping to fund efforts to replace some of the 15,000 trees lost after a devastating wildfire on Arran in April. If you are able to donate or to share this post it would be hugely appreciated ❤️

This is quite an interesting article. I thought it was going to be Hagiography but turns out it's not. The stuff about Altman's sister is very sad. You really shouldn't trust this man or his vision (aka greed).

Was in Broadford on Skye yesterday. Got the worst chip supper I've ever had in my life, for £12.50. The only supermarket is half empty, no beer on the hottest day of the year. The roads are fucked, full of potholes. And it costs £200 to rent a room for a night. I feel ashamed of my region.

Spiorad àird nam Murchan

More work from my ongoing nine and half year project and love affair with the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

More of the work from a photo essay sub series exploring the elemental and spiritual magic of Port na Carraidh. This will also be released longer form on the www
Port na Carraidh / West Ardnamurchan / Scottish Highlands The iconic Ardnamurchan point lighthouse, between the view from here and the view from Briaghlann that have to be my favourite views of the historic structure. Port na Carraidh / West Ardnamurchan / Scottish Highlands The bay is joyous melting pot of elements, from the geology and the fauna to the human and community elements. Port na Carraidh / West Ardnamurchan / Scottish Highlands There’s such an array of wildlife here; from sea and golden eagles to otters, deer, wild goats and a plethora of marine life. It’s such a vibrant and natural place that has a feel all of its own. Port na Carraidh / West Ardnamurchan / Scottish Highlands As with most photography light is everything, but one thing to note and say is there’s no such thing as bad light it’s all about embracing and responding to the interplay of all lights, all weathers and all conditions and how they help shape and impact a place. Here the soft warm light illuminates the dunes and white sands as a goat quietly munches away on lunch.
