Home Before Sundown

A time of quiet and reflection, we rethink our past priorities as normality quickly changes. There is no time for distractions – we must face our deepest fears, and listen. The noise of busy offices and laughter in the pub and the beeping horns of traffic are no more. Instead, the songs of the birds become the soundtrack to our days. We must find comfort in simplicity. Being faced with uncertainty and our absolute mortality, brings us closer to home than ever before. Those whom we love become our greatest asset – worth more than any job, any house, any money. Those of us who are healthy appreciate each intake of breath as we are awoken to the power of our bodies, and its ability to fight, and to heal. The whole world breathes together as each day passes. There are breaths of despair, breaths of panic, and breathlessness for the victims of the disease. But we breathe with hope that the day will come when our breath will be a sigh of relief. Winter turned into Spring as we stayed indoors. Nature continued to keep our spirits up with its beauty, reminding us it is greater than we will ever be. With the lessening pollution, and clearing of waters we are reminded that even in the darkest of times, there is light. I answer my phone to those I am far from and miss dearly, many times a week now. We smile, and laugh, and cry and ponder – more connected than ever before. The monotony of everyday has become a rhythm I know. I move to it each hour, a beat at a time – a breath at a time – we get through it.

In The Flight of Darkness

This series delves into the lives of individuals who are visually impaired, including Ella, a student at Oxford University, and Martin, a full-time carpenter. Each person has a unique story to share, but they all have one thing in common - their visual impairment, which may limit their opportunities. However, these individuals persevere with unwavering determination.

This project delves into the world of Pigeon fanciers in the South West of England, who consider it more than just a sport; it's a way of life. Individuals of all ages use it as a means of social engagement, competing with their birds in races that go as far as Barcelona and beyond. The focus is on members of the Worle East club in Somerset, who connect through their shared passion for Pigeon fancying and the hard work it takes to train and maintain these birds for long distances. Each person has a unique story, but they all share a sense of community and camaraderie. The photographs were taken in and around different lofts in Weston-Super-Mare.
