I’ve been taking photographs since I was a teenager – and taking them in black and white for more than 35 years. I 'graduated' to large format 5x4 photography in 1994 and since then that's where my photographic energies have been concentrated. My main subject matter is the landscape and its 'micro-landscapes' though I've recently developed a strong interest in photographing in churches and cathedrals. The first entry in this blog (May 2009 - "Tomorrow ...") will tell you what my blog is all about. You'll find much more of my work on my website at: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk The B&W images from my blog are linked here. Prints of the black & white images are available for purchase. If you are interested, please follow the 'Print Sales' link on my website. The colour images are from my little digital camera and are not for sale. If you'd like to contact me by email then please do so via the 'Contact' link on my website at: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk/contact.html

#2: Fish Hill - Broadway

A shorter walk today of around 5 miles. Was Broadway NY named after Broadway Worcestershire I wonder? Certainly there's no resemblance whatsoever. It's the archetypal picture postcard Cotswold town whose mellow yellow stone buildings define its comfortable cosy atmosphere. Sadly the recession has seen several of its marvellous art galleries closed. Its prettiness doesn't appeal to my photographic instincts - but I did find several images in the vicinity of Broadway Tower high above Broadway itself.

Today is Polling Day in the UK - for local councillors and for members of the European Parliament. Our political systems and our politicians are under close scrutiny after the events of the last few weeks and months. I cast my ballot after clearing my head in the fresh Cotswold air.
