Last night I gave a presentation for two hours to the Royal Photographic Society. I covered my Bolivia images, Icelandic interior images, Hokkaido and Scotland.

I was initially reluctant to go - I rarely do any public speaking and felt I would make a mess of it all. But despite initial nerves, I’m really pleased I didn’t cancel. I feel I got a lot out of doing the talk. There were a few things I learned about my own work during the talk, but also, found some of the comments from some of the audience extremely encouraging. There was a nice observation about some of my images looking a little like a Rothko painting (very nice indeed).

I wish to thank the RPS for considering inviting me - especially Mark Reeves. There are so many photographers these days to choose from, so thank you so much. It was a very nice evening on several levels, including meeting some old friends there.
