Canvas Under The Sky
The cover of Canvas Under the Sky by Robin Binckes
I was lucky enough to meet Robin Binckes in 1993 when I was out in South Africa. I went on a tour with him to a few interesting spots in Johnasberg. He took me around of the poorer areas of the city, to a monument to the white settlers near Pretoria, to an early home of Nelson Mandela and to a farm where some of the many atrocities that haunt the apartheid years happened.
It was very interesting and I was able to see and photograph places where normally people aren’t overly welcomed. Some of the photos I took are on Robins site – spearofthenation.co.za.
He has been busy in recent times, and his interest in the recent history of his country have moved him to writing a book called Canvas under the sky.
I am sure the book will be very interesting and I hope to get my copy soon. Robins enthusiam, interest and massive knowledge of the history, politics and people were very much evident in the tour and I am sure the book will be just as revealing.

Pinhole Images
Some pinhole images I took several years ago for an A level project. I used a pinhole camera from bobrigby.com and polaroid film to capture the feet of my girlfriend. The images are wonderfully wide angle and each took around 8 minutes to capture. The final two images were taken with a homemade film canister pinhole camera, some photographic paper and some very bright studio flash heads ( hence the pained expression ).

Aerial Photos of Northamptonshire
Way back before Google Earth was around, I was lucky enough to be flown by my Father over a few areas in Northamptonshire.
We took off from Sywell Aerodrome and flew over Finedon, Towcester, Paulerspury and Pury End. The photos were taken on negative film and later the prints were scanned. Larger versions are available if required.
