Intersection
10 by 15 inch Digital photographic image printed on Fuji DPII Lustre photographic paper £400.00
This still life image explores the development of craft and technology and how with a bit of imagination both old and newer technologies can resonate today.
The image represents the intersection of two technologies traversing centuries between their original creation. The process that created the wrought iron candle holder, can be dated back to 2nd century BC Asia and the Edison style bulb to the 1870s.
Combining them created this vignette within a domestic setting, a reminder that just because something is old tech doesn’t mean it can’t be seen in a new light. It can be learned from, revived, reimagined, or built upon.
A further thought could be that the image contains a link to today through its medium. It was captured using a mirrorless digital camera which is a technology born this century.

Old Lines, New Lives
10 by 15 inch Digital photographic image printed on Fuji DPII Lustre Photographic paper £400.00
This image explores the connection those living and working in Leith today have with those that inhabited the space before.
The waning light of the mid-winter afternoon casts deep shadows on new housing around Albert Dock. Its land re-used for living and leisure. The lines of the image relate to the tracks that used to bring goods to and from the ships docked there. Although still a working port, a lot of the land has been given back to the ever-growing city of Edinburgh.
The duotone colour treatment serves to highlight the duality of this scene. Without demise of the industry that went before people could call this dock home

The Newkirkgate Stair
20 by 10 inch Digital photographic image printed on Fuji DPII Lustre Photographic paper £500.00
This image uses the story telling ability of street photography to bring the viewer into the urban world of a person walking through the modernist landscape of the Newkirkgate in Edinburgh.
The lone figure is framed by the geometric balustrades of the stairway that leads pedestrians from the Undercroft to the parade of shops and amenities of the Newkirkgate.
The architecture has seen better days and it can remind us that even the most modern of things much like people can age badly if not properly looked after.
