Frosty grass

In Northern Scotland, in the winter before sunrise, it gets pretty cold.

Sheep at sunrise in the snow

In the winter in Northern Scotland, there are no cows in the fields. Too cold. But the sheep are still out.

Intention is everything

For me, the key distinction between a snapshot and true photography is intention. It took me about two years to undergo a significant shift in how I approached photography.

Not everything needs to be monetised

In today’s world, it seems that every passion, hobby, or creative endeavour is often viewed through the lens of monetisation. Social media constantly bombards us with side-hustles, passive income streams, and the pressure to turn any skill into a money-making venture. This trend is particularly visible among millennials and younger generations, who often feel the need to transform everything they do into something “profitable.” But is it possible that something vital has been lost in this pursuit of financial gain? Where has the joy of doing things for the sheer love of them gone?
