Printing today for the Outsiders exhibition in Glasgow next year. You never really know about a photo until you see it printed.

The Anglo-Saxon crypt of St. Wystan’s Church at Repton in Derbyshire. Dating to the 8th century, the crypt served as a royal mausoleum for two Mercian kings, as well as the resting place of St. Wystan. 📸 My own. #SaxonSunday #Repton #Derbyshire

Looking up at the sky at sunset on a warm summer evening. The blue sky looks like it has clouds created out of brushstrokes in shades of white, pale orange, grey and yellow

Here’s the Met Office surface pressure chart for late afternoon on Sunday (two days from now). That really is a complex low pressure system.

I'm Jack, aka Zealous Alchemy, an English xylographer (woodcut printmaker) and artist.

I prefer to work with limited colour palettes, often B&W.

I'm interested in anime, cinema, Westerns, and country music - my work mostly reflects these in some way.

The imposing concrete buildings that defined British postwar architecture held a vision of the future – but many fell into disrepair. A new book finds the finest examples

The Bridge, 2020
#conwy #photography #cymru #wales #streetphotography
A black-and-white photograph captures a nighttime street scene illuminated by streetlights and building signage. A person walks a dog across the road, while another stands near a corner with a second dog. On the right, a building displays signs reading “Johnny Dough’s AT THE BRIDGE Y BONT” and “WOOD-FIRED PIZZA,” suggesting it is a pizzeria. Additional text includes “A55 BANGOR” and “PIZZA GIN BEER” in the window. The left side shows a building under renovation with scaffolding and barriers. Dramatic clouds fill the sky, enhancing the moody, atmospheric composition.

A dramatic black and white photo of a corner detail of an adobe building with one small window and three wooden beams coming out. There's a wavy part coming off the left side with more wooden beams casting shadows. The sky looks black.
