" Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others" Jonathan Swift



It's proving to be a long, hard winter, filled with harsh winds and flooding rains, so the practical dimension of photography has been pretty well closed off since early November. Where the feet cannot reach, however, allows time, at least on occasion, for some conceptual 'days out', which can also be productive.



I spent most of this weekend assembling mounts and frames and sifting through last September's work with Magenta, as it's now been provisionally confirmed that an exhibition of our work will accompany a new local production of Shakespeare's The Tempest in May.





 I've also begun thinking about returning to certain locations in Cornwall during the Spring and Summer, as it looks as though fresh opportunities to work with Aurelie may prove forthcoming.




Life indeed moves apace, so it's vital that we see what is truly there, and appreciate it well. It never ceased to amaze me just how blind we can choose to be to the true value, intent or significance of others, of moments and of those precious opportunities when both blend into something so rich and rare that life truly becomes clothed in a beauty that feeds us.

Time to queue a little insight:
