Just home from a week away on the isle of Eigg here in Scotland. I would like to thank everyone who attended - they came from far and wide - Seattle and near Sydney Australia.

It is always a real honour to think that folks would like to come this far to spend time working with me on photography. Such a lucky person I am.

Many thanks to David Estape Izquierdo for sending me this image of myself and Ron MacDonald on the beach at Laig bay.

I am finding the workshops at the equinoxes quite physically demanding for myself - long hours from 5:30am till around 8:30pm each day, and as much as I love coming to Eigg, I am aware that this year, and 2024 will be my last with groups here. I wish I could run the Eigg workshop during the winter when sunrise and sunset are more easy to handle, but due to the unpredictability of the weather, and therefore cancellations of ferry crossings, it’s too much of a risk. Hence why 2024 will be my last year on Eigg.

Thanks to everyone who came this week. There were a lot of jokes, and everyone was very good fun. I don’t think I’ve been with such a die-hard ‘hard-core’ group of people in terms of using all the available time to make images.
