A new exhibition of a selection of my Lake District photographs has just opened at the Woolpack Inn in the village of Boot in Eskdale. It runs from 1st September to 31st October 2012 and can be viewed during normal pub opening hours.
There are 23 framed photographs from 40 x 30cm to 70 x 70cm with prices from £95 to £200. Every photograph was hand printed by me using traditional darkroom techniques on Ilford Multigrade FB fine art photographic paper.
The selection is based upon my Lake Light book but there are quite a few new images included.
Jan delivered the pictures on Wednesday and the exhibition was hung in our absence so no pictures of it yet!
It is part of the Lives in the Landscape exhibitions that are running in the Eskdale valley and Ravenglass, so there's lots to see.

Builders Arrived this Week
It all started with a leak down the side passage on the house; the only way from the front garden to the back garden without going through the main house. With the builder and a local architect we decided that the best way forward was to raise the roof line to match that of the main house. We then decided to expand the gallery space by knocking out an internal wall or two. So the job has grown somewhat from the original plan to stop a leak!
Jan cleared the side passage and lots of the gallery last weekend then I finished off by clearing all of the pictures from the walls and we moved the browsers into the hall.
On Wednesday the builders arrived to start knocking walls out and working on the roof. By Friday some of the internal walls were downand the main gallery was partitioned off from the mayhem on the other side. Now we are awaiting an engineer to come on Monday to specify the number and size of steel beams that are needed to make sure the building stays up when the last wall is knocked out!
The gallery is still open. We have around 400 browser prints on display in the hall and 140 pictures on the walls, so the gallery can still operate by appointment, as usual. Roll on October when it will all be finished.
Happy days!

New Lake District Black & White Photographs
I have added quite a few Lake District black and white photographs to the new web site. Locations include the Langdales, Elterwater, Grasmere, Rydal Water, Derwent Water, Castlerigg stone circle, Scafell, Scafell Pike, Skiddaw, Blencathra and the Bowfell range. Both summer and snowy winter shots are covered. Some of these will be going in to my third book due out in March 2010. Lots more Lake District pictures to follow.
