My store is open :)



So The World Empties .. - I really like this image. Taken on a morning in which I was struggling to decide what to take. Sometimes, you wonder from place...

Two years and counting since I started this site. It has taken way too long for a million reasons and now I am starting to make images available to own. One by one as time allows.

Why has it taken so long after so many people have asked? Good question. Taking pictures, creating images I like is exciting, its exhilarating, its fulfilling. Each one is an experience and there is usually a story attached or its a time in my life that connects me to that instant, to that one image. Most images are usually just me with no one around, so that makes it personal. To then share that with the wider world makes me vulnerably to opinions about my space and my thoughts. That's the emotional hurdle.

Then you have the technical and procedural one. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, to find a good print shop, decide on acrylic or fine art paper or canvas, ensuring prints and colours are as perfect as I want them and then working out the mechanics of selling, takes a lot more time and effort than I had ever realized. I think I have most of that covered now :)

I hope you enjoy these images and find the calm in them. The same calm and peace I felt creating them.

Phil.
