Welcome to my Digital Gallery, if you have visited this site before you will notice the introduction of some changes to the site and the way it works. The site has been modified to display larger images and the catagories have been reduced to three collections; Abstract, Digital Collage and Cultures & Countries. My aim is to produce an interesting and vibrant site that contains a range of images from a variety of locations around the world and in this country.
THE COLLECTION
Abstraction examines fundamental elements of the world around us, often by isolating elements from familiar structures and presenting them in a new context.
Digital Collage explores digital manipulation and photographic collage. The images are all digital constructions which contain varying degrees of manipulation.
Cultures& Countries combines images drawn from observations of the elements that are often specific to different cultures and photographs of landscapes and structures from a variety of countries.
THE EXHIBITIONS
One exhibition follows a visit to Mallorca in June and attempts to provide some alternative views to the traditional image of a holiday island with over 8 million visitors a year.
The other exhibition represents a variety of impressions following a recent visit to the Maldives. There are 1190 islands that make up the Maldives but only 200 are inhabited and 44 of these are resort islands. The images in this exhibition avoid the traditional views of sun kissed beaches with overhanging palm trees and try to present a slightly different view. For some more conventional pictures you can access my Flickr site by cutting and pasting the following address http://www.flickr.com/photos/8824729@N05/sets/72157608713195898/ in to your browser.
