This is the photo I'm known for *over there*- Capel Rhiw in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
"I waited 18 months to photograph this scene, after spotting it in March last year and not having the right lens with me. Blaenau Ffestiniog on Sunday."

Yesterday, a chance for me to take an image I've had in mind for months- Matthew and Michael in homage to Richard and Dic Bach
An incredible end to an incredible tour. Back to where it all started in Pontrhydyfen, Burton's birthplace- incredible stuff from Matthew Rhys as Burton

Stumbled onto Threads by mistake through Instagram, and see yet more middle aged, white male photographers are telling everyone what to think about photography. It's so boring. It's one of the reasons I try and have nothing to do with 'photography'

At midsummer, the witches of Zennor would light fires on top of the ancient burial chambers and in the rock stacks, until it seemed like the whole moor was ablaze. Zennor Quoit for #TombTuesday!

Today is the 100th birthday of Richard Burton!
And this house is his birthplace, in Pontrhydyfen. You'll know the viaduct behind him; he's crossing it with his father in the iconic 1950s photographs by Raymond Kleboe
