My First PhotoBook


This gem has just arrived.

I have produced it using images I have taken over many years of the magnificent Philipps House and surrounding Dinton Park in Wiltshire in order to demonstrate how a substantial country house could be presented in a high quality hardback 'coffee table' book format.

I am delighted with it - the images in are beautifully reproduced - pin sharp and with colours exactly true to form. The printers have done a top job.

I can now look forward to showing it to prospective clients as a basis for discussion on how their own property can be portrayed in such a unique personal souvenir keepsake.




Here are some snapshots taken earlier with my iphone showing a small selection of sample page views:

As always with these books, the quality of the materials and the imagery is outstanding. I have taken some snapshots with my phone camera of some sample pages which hopefully gives some idea.

Notes on the Offbeat - (updated)

I developed a liking for reading later in life having been well and truly put off for many years by some absurd and often unpleasant individuals masquerading as English masters in the 1960's Grammar School in which I found myself.  It is only upon looking back over my extensive collection of books that followed this new found interest that I realise that I have been constantly drawn to the offbeat lives of those who have chosen to 'go it alone' despite those

The Ancient Water Meadows of the River Nadder.

Image
Front Cover The proof copy of my new book  The Ancient Water Meadows of the River Nadder  has just arrived and as always with these books I couldn't be more pleased with it. Earlier in the year I was invited by John Stoddart, the Warden of the Barford and Burcombe Fishing Club, to take photographs of the now largely derelict workings of the ancient water meadow system in the Nadder Valley with a view to producing an historical record.   As warden, he was able to arrange for the multiple consents required from various landowners and tenants to enter the mostly private land and take the photographs. As we walked for miles on cold winter mornings looking at the intriguing sights, neither of us knew that months later we would produce this book together with John turning his commentary of how it all used to work, from its formation in the 17th Century through to its heyday, into the excellent and highly informative texts in the book. As someone who has always been fascinated by derelic
