Ely Cathedral and Photography differs from painting. Paintings liberate the artist from the tyranny of the subject and the objectivity of the lens. You can manipulate a photograph to create impossible realities and surreal events, but the light from objects passing through an optic is the starting point. Chance is a key element in a successful photograph, the chance alignment of distinct elements such as lighting, weather, people and place. What are the chances of standing in

Ely Cathedral in the Snow 2018 Normally I process my Fenland images in monochrome, but for this scene, you really need colour. I took this photograph of Ely Cathedral in February 2018 and we are all hoping for similarly beautiful days this year too. Best wishes to all of you for 2021, it just has to be better than 2020.

Ely Cathedral, Winter Evening Light Photographers know that magical moment when the receding tide of daylight and Edison’s mechanical invention compete for ascendancy. A transient beauty momentarily holds sway in this daily exchange of energy. Ely Cathedral radiates a ‘spiritual’ intensity for believers and non-believers alike as a phalanx of street lamps are recruited as night sentinels, guiding the way. #Architecture #streetlights #buildings #Churches #ElyCathedral #cambri

This morning the snow fell in Ely all morning, quite unusual in this part of the country. The snowflakes have started to dissolve the façade of the building, the close up shots reminds me of Monet’s Rouen Catherdral. #snow #Architecture #CambridgeshireUK #photography #cathedral #building #travel #ely #weather

I added some details to this composite image; birds circling the tower. I think it works better than the previous shot. #Architecture #manipulation #ElyCathedral #photography #birds #building #imageediting #church #digital

Many medieval churches and buildings in northern Cyprus are being looted or destroyed, according to a report issued last month (2009) by the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, an agency of the United States government. The report, “Cyprus’ Religious Cultural Heritage in Peril” was authored by Byzantine art history experts Dr. Charalampos Chotzakoglou and Dr. Klaus Gallas, as well as by the journalist Michael Jansen, who has written the book “War and Cultural He

The Karl Theodor Bridge, commonly known as the Old Bridge, is a stone bridge in Heidelberg, crossing the Neckar River. It connects the Old City with the eastern part of the Neuenheim district of the city on the opposite bank. #Architecture #sun #river #travel #heidelberg #blackandwhite #Bridge #Germany

You have to lie flat on your back to get this shot….or have a very fancy tripod…I chose to be flat on my back….not the most comfortable position! 🙂 The timber octagon that sits on the tower of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity at Ely is one of the greatest engineering feats of the Middle Ages. Completed in 1334, it weighs around 400 tons. #Architecture #middleages #photography #cathedral #octagon #structure #ely #gothic #religion

River City (provisional) ‘River City’ is just a holding name at the moment. I know approximately what I want to say, but haven’t quite found the combination of words that will shed some light on the painting. I know that for some artists, titles for paintings are not necessarily important; some artists even decide to number their work sequentially, particularly with abstract paintings. For me, a title can add certain qualities to an image, they often act as a bridge between t

River City Acrylic painting on canvas 100 x 100 cm I am currently working on a series of paintings based on the city of Cambridge in the UK. This is a multi layered mixed media acrylic painting on a high quality canvas frame. I am currently working on a series of paintings based on the city of Cambridge. I don’t believe that we can ever really know a particular place or location, not in a purely objective way, not even through the ‘impartiality’ of a camera lens. There are so

Citadel This is an acrylic painting on a high quality canvas frame. It is based on my experiences of the city of Cambridge. Although I have visited the city many times and I know it well, this is not a visual record of specific places, or a celebration of a well known structure or familiar architectural motif. This is a city of the imagination. The artist Paul Klee said it far more eloquently than I could; even though he was using the idea of a tree (not a city) to illustrate

Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku Hall of Mirrors The mirrored entrance to Tokyu Plaza in the Shibuya district provides a perfect opportunity to create fragmented images of people as they walk by this busy shopping area. Multiple reflections overlap, merge and intersect like a giant kaleidoscope or contemporary Cubist image. I was mesmerised by the constellation of shapes as bodies appeared, disappeared and reappeared in a constant swirl of motion. #Architecture #shibuya #peter
