What’s New
21/06/10:
Added a new public gallery called "Beasts".
This already contains a few animal photos (but not birds,
which already have their own gallery) and will eventually
concentrate most if not all my animal photos, taken both
in the wild and at zoos and sanctuaries.
14/06/10:
Added 50 new photos to the "Birds" public gallery.
Several of these were also taken in the Everglades.
12/06/10:
Today, I have added several new photos to the "Everglades" public gallery.
Also moved two bird photos from "Everglades" to
the "Birds" gallery. Older Everglades selects eventually find
themselves in
the "Florida" gallery. The next step
is to add some new material to the "Birds"
gallery.
11/06/10:
Created a new public gallery, "Amazonia", with
81 photos from a recent stay in the Amazon region. I
still have several photos to add to the "Everglades" gallery, which I hope to complete over the
next few days.
09/06/10:
Created a new public gallery, called "Brasilia
0410", with some shots from a recent day in Brasilia
on our way up to the Amazon. The "Amazonia" public
gallery will be coming soon.
08/06/10:
Moved selects from the "Cuyahoha",
"Little Italy" and "WS Market"
galleries to the "USA" gallery, and removed
those three galleries. The next step will be to add the
"Brasilia" and "Amazonia" public
galleries.
07/06/10:
Over the last few days, I have: (1) removed the "Iguaçu Falls"
public gallery after merging the previously selected
images into the
"Brazil" gallery; (2) selected photos from the
"Everglades" public gallery and added them to
the "Florida" gallery, replacing the remainder
of the "Everglades" gallery with new material;
(3) removed the "Ohio 0509" and "Trip
0509" private galleries, distributing selects among
the "Snaps 2008-09", "Snaps 2009" and
"Photogs" private galleries. Shortly I plan to
create two new public galleries for our recent trip to
Brasilia and Amazonia, and reorganize some of the other
public galleries.
04/06/10:
Today, I have: (1) removed some old photos and
added some new ones to the "London" and "FLStreet"
galleries; (2) removed some old
photos from the "UK", "New York" and
"Sao Paulo" galleries, and (3) made a selection
of the photos in the "Iguaçu Falls" gallery.
This gallery will shortly be merged into the
"Brazil" gallery. Still lots more changes to
come in the next week or so.
03/06/10:
Several minor changes: (1) removed some old photos
from the "Graffiti" gallery; (2) removed 8 old
photos from the "Embu" gallery and added 28 more
recent ones; (3) moved selects from the "Bahia"
gallery to the
"Brazil" gallery, and removed the old "Bahia"
gallery.
29/05/10:
Added two new galleries and several photos to existing
galleries. Details: (1) a new public gallery called
"SP Street", with 13 street photos taken in Sao
Paulo; (2) a new private gallery called "Photogs"
with 6 images (for now); (3) 8 new photos in the
"Brazil" public gallery; (4) 8 new photos in the
"Graffiti" public gallery, and (5) 24 new photos
in the "Sao Paulo" public gallery. Coming soon:
many more new photos.
28/05/10:
Added a new public gallery called
"Air Display", with 12 shots of the
Southport Air Display, over Southport Sands, on September
9, 2009. Coming soon, several more public galleries.
26/05/10:
Today, I have added a
private gallery called
"Snaps 2009-10", with 97 pictures. This
brings us up to the present month for shots like these. Soon I shall
be adding several public galleries.
25/05/10:
Back again! Last September, I had my computer
stolen while checking in at Sao Paulo airport, which
caused me a good deal of work reorganizing things.
Unfortunately, updating this site had to take a back seat
for a while, but I now have things more or less back under
control. To get back up to date, I have already added a
private gallery called "Snaps 2009" with 61
pictures.
12/07/09:
Added six new pictures to the "Birds" gallery,
taken last Thursday, July 9, which was a holiday here in
Sao Paulo, very near our home. This is the first time I
have sighted Toucans so near our house - practically at
the bottom of our garden, although I had previously heard
of several sightings nearby. There is also one rather
distant shot of what looked like a Green Heron, but I
could not be sure. These are quite common, but I never saw
one here before. You
can access all the public galleries from the Home
Page. Click on the right and left arrows to scroll
through the galleries, then click on the thumbnails to
open each gallery.
10/07/09 (later): Added several new pictures to the "USA"
and "Florida" galleries.
10/07/09: Removed several pictures from the "Bahia"
gallery. Eventually, I plan to merge this gallery into
the "Brazil" gallery.
09/07/09:
Added 18 pictures to the "Sao Paulo" gallery,
including selects from a series called "Lei Kassab",
a couple of images of the new suspension bridge over the
Pinheiros river under construction, and several taken in
the Burle Marx park. I also removed some of the older
photos from the Embu gallery, which was getting rather
large.
08/07/09:
Added 15 pictures to the "Embu" gallery,
one to the "Graffiti" gallery and three to the
"UK" gallery.
05/07/09 (still later):
Created another new public gallery called "WS Market",
containing several more shots from the recent workshop with Sam Abell and the Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society.
These were taken in the West Side Market, Cleveland, Ohio.
05/07/09 (later):
Created another new public gallery called "Little
Italy",
containing a few more of the shots I made during a recent workshop with Sam Abell and the Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society.
These were taken in the Little Italy district of Cleveland, Ohio.
05/07/09:
Created another new public gallery called "Cuyahoga",
containing a few of the shots I made during a recent workshop with Sam Abell and the Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society in the Cuyahoga Valley, between Cleveland and Akron, in Ohio. Locations we visited include the Bedford Reservation, Peninsular and Beaver Marsh.
04/07/09:
Created another new public gallery called "France 0509",
containing shots from the week in France during our recent trip to the
USA and Europe.
03/07/09:
Added selects from the "Itaipú 1208" and
"Formosa 0109" galleries
to the "Brazil" public gallery. Both the
old galleries have been removed.
02/07/09:
Created another new public gallery called "Everglades
0509".
This gallery contains shots from several visits to the Everglades during our recent trip to the USA,
both before and after our trip to Europe. Royal Palm and the Anhinga Trail (and points farther
west) are reached via the east entrance to the
National Park. Shark Valley, which was rather quiet this time.
is at the north entrance. At Royal Palm I got some interesting shots of an alligator catching a turtle.
01/07/09:
Created another new public gallery called "Birds".
This one combines selects from the previous
galleries "PqDasAves 0109" and
"Falcons". Later I shall add other bird photos
from existing galleries and further new work.
30/06/09:
Created another new public gallery called "Brazil".
So far, this combines selects from the previous
galleries "Suape 0109" and "Almada",
both of which have been removed. Eventually, it will also
contain selects from "Itaipú 1208" and
"Formosa 0109", besides additional new photos.
29/06/09
(later still):
Created another new public gallery: "Iguaçú Falls".
This combines selects from the previous galleries "Iguaçú
1208" and "Iguazu 1208", which have been
removed. There are still too many photos in this gallery,
but I'll come back to this later. I'm a bit overdosed at
comparing photos right now.
29/06/09
(later):
Created one new public gallery: "USA". This
gallery initially contains just a few selects from the old
"NewMex" public gallery, but will gradually be
expanded with photos from other places from our past and
future travels around the United States. I have also removed the old private gallery
called "NovaPaulista 0109".
29/06/09:
Created two new private galleries: "Ohio 0509"
and "Trip 0509". The first contains out-takes
from a photo workshop that I attended in Ohio in early
May, with Sam Abell and the CVPS, and the second contains
family snaps from the rest of our recent trip to the USA
and Europe.
28/06/09:
Today I removed the old private galleries "Xmas
0809" and "Iguaçú 0809". Selects from
these two galleries have been placed in a new private
gallery called "Snaps 89".
27/06/09:
Back from the trip to the USA, UK and France. I am now
preparing lots of new stuff for the site which will be
appearing over the next few days. Today I have created a
new public gallery called "Sao Paulo" - this
includes selects from the old gallery "Ibirapuera",
which has been removed, plus several aerial views of parts
of the city, taken during a helicopter trip back in 2005. I also deleted two old private
galleries: "CP 100" and "Lunch 2903".
23/04/09:
I am going to be away from April 26th until June 7th, so
it is unlikely that anything new will be added
to the site until I get back. I'll still be checking my
email - but perhaps not every day, so replies may take a little longer than usual during
this period.
07/04/09:
Thanks to Luciane Figueiredo, we have now pretty well
identified the birds in the "Falcons" gallery,
which I posted yesterday - they are almost certainly
Southern Caracarás, but just possibly they might be
Crested Caracarás which look almost the same, and yes,
they are from the falcon family. That was quick!
06/04/09:
Today I created a small new public gallery called
"Falcons", which contains a few photos of a pair of falcons (or hawks, or maybe kestrels - I would
greatly appreciate it if anyone out there could ID the
species for me) that has appeared recently near our home, to the consternation of many
of the smaller birds. I shall keep an eye on them and post some better shots if I manage to get any.
02/04/09:
A new private gallery "Lunch 2903".
17/03/09:
Created one new public gallery - "Florida",
containing photos from rural South Florida, places like
the Everglades and Big Cypress Preserve, mainly of birds
and animals.
Some of these images were selected from
the old "Everglades" gallery, which has been
removed.
16/03/09:
Today I created a private gallery called "Snaps
08" consisting of selects from the old private
galleries called "London 408",
"TripUK0908" and "FL 1108". These
older galleries have been removed. A few photos were also
moved to public galleries: One to "London", one
to "UK" and one will appear in a forthcoming
gallery called "Florida". I also did some pruning on the "Bahia" gallery,
reducing it from 71 to 48 photos, and revised the
"Start here" page in the Basic section of Photo
Notes. More new galleries
coming soon!
15/03/09:
Today I did some pruning on the "Embú" gallery,
reducing it from 85 to 62 photos. I moved one photo to the
"Graffiti" gallery, and deleted the other 22.
14/03/09:
Created two new public galleries - "FL Street",
containing photos from South Florida, somewhat in the
street photography tradition, and "New York",
containing mainly urban landscapes from New York City.
Some of the "FL Street" images were selects from
the old "South Beach" gallery, which has been
removed. Also some of the "New York" shots
appeared previously in the "MoMA 78" or
"NYC 78" galleries, which have also been
removed. More new public galleries coming soon!
01/03/09:
I also began the long-promised consolidation of the public
galleries today, creating 2 new ones - "London"
and "UK" - and removing 3 old ones:
"Hampstead", "Crosby" and "Lake
District". Selects from "Hampstead" went
into "London", together with some shots
transferred from "London0408". Selects from
"Crosby" and "Lake District" went into
"UK", together with some from
"TripUK0908". I'll be adding additional material
to these galleries from time to time.
The photos of the statues by the seashore were made at
Blundellsands beach near Crosby, on the north bank of the
Mersey estuary, just downstream from the port of
Liverpool. They form part of what is known as the
"Another Place" installation of 100 cast-iron
statues by the artist Anthony Gourmley, spread along about
two miles of beach. He is best known in the UK for
his massive statue "Angel of the North" at
Newcastle. These statues are said to have been molded from
the artist's own body. I used to live about ten miles from
here when I was young, but this was the first time I ever
visited this particular part of the beach, and of course,
the statues were not there then! A curious fact: at the
height of its prosperity during the nineteenth century, up
to 40% of the world's international trade went through the
port of Liverpool.
The photos made in the Lake District, in the north-west of
England, show Cartmel Priory and Grasmere. Cartmel is just three miles north
of where I had been at school as a boy, but which I had
never previously visited. This little village is like a cathedral city in miniature - they
have a racecourse, where they hold horse races a few times a year
- and the famous Priory is a large church with magnificent stained glass windows and carved choir
stalls. It was founded in 1188, although there is very little of the original structure to be seen today. I later
heard they hold a first edition of The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spencer.
Grasmere, the heart of Wordsworth country, is a few miles further north, past Windermere,
largest of the lakes.
01/03/09:
Removed the remains of the four old private galleries "X78 UK1", "X78 UK2",
"X78 UK3"and "X78 USA" as foretold on
25/02/09.
25/02/09:
Today I have made a new private gallery called "Snaps
78", which contains selects from four existing
galleries: "X78 UK1", "X78 UK2",
"X78 UK3"and "X78 USA". These older
galleries still contain the other, non-selected photos,
but I shall remove them within a few days.
19/02/09:
Uploaded a revised version of the "Print Sales"
page. You can access this page from the "Sales"
index page. Click on the "Sales" link at
the top of this page.
15/02/09:Added a new public gallery called "PqDasAves 0109",
with photos taken in a bird sanctuary called "Parque
das Aves" near Foz de Iguaçu, Parana state, Brazil.
The sheer variety of exotic birds at this place is
amazing, and matches any other bird sanctuary I have ever
visited.
09/02/09:
Added a new page called "Histograms" in the
Technical section of "Photo Notes". You
can access this information from the Photo Notes index page.
05/02/09:
Added a new private gallery called "NovaPaulista 0109",
with photos of a visit to the site of a residential
development project just north of Paulista, Pernambuco,
Brazil, on the left side of the PE-15 highway, on January
19, 2009.
04/02/09:
Added a new public gallery called "Formosa 0109",
with photos taken near a part of Recife now called
"Brasilia Formosa". This used to be a very rough
area known locally as "Brasilia Teimosa", but it
has been substantially cleaned up recently, with many
roads paved and much new building, so it has been given a
nicer name.
03/02/09:
Added a new public gallery called "Ïtaipu 1208",
with photos from inside and outside the Itaipu hidro-electric
station near to Iguaçu. We were told that at the height
of the construction phase of this project they were
pouring concrete at a rate equivalent to one 20-story
building every 55 seconds! Also that the volume of earth
and rock moved was 8 times that of the Eurotunnel, under
the channel between the UK and France! Soon I shall add another public
gallery from this trip - of the "Parque
das Aves", a bird sanctuary near Iguaçu.
02/02/09:
Added a new private gallery called "Suape 0109",
with photos of a visit to the new port and industrial
complex in Pernambuco, just south of Recife, on January
20, 2009.
02/02/09:
Added a new public gallery called "Ïguazu 1208",
with photos of the falls and surrounding areas taken from
the Argentine side. Shortly, I plan to add another public
gallery from this trip - of the
Itaipu hidro-electric station, and also one of the "Parque
das Aves" near Iguaçu.
01/02/09:
Added a new public gallery called "Ïguaçu 1208",
with photos of the falls and surrounding areas taken from
the Brazilian side. In the next few days, I expect to add
two more public galleries from this trip: one of the
Itaipu hidro-electric station and one of the falls taken
from the Argentine side.
30/01/09:
Added another new private gallery called "Iguaçu 0809" with family snaps from our
trip to the Iguaçu Falls over the New Year. Within a few
more days I will be
adding a number of public galleries with
photos of more general interest from the same trip and
other material.
29/01/09:
Today I have added a new private gallery called "Xmas
0809" with family snaps from our Christmas holidays
here in São Paulo. Over the next few days I will be
adding a private gallery of snaps from our trip to the
Iguaçu falls.
06/12/08:
Added another private gallery called "FL 1108"
with holiday snaps from our recent trip to Florida. Within a few more days, I plan to add some
public galleries of other Floridiana, also views and fauna
of the Florida Everglades and Big Cypress Preserve.
06/12/08:
Added a new private gallery called "CP 100" of
shots taken during the Casas Pernambucanas centenary party
at Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo on November 26, 2008.
18/10/08:
Added a new private gallery called "TripUK0908"
containing snaps of a trip I took to Florida and the UK in
late September, returning home in early October.
07/07/08:
We have just completed an upgrade to the site which has
(1) included additional background info on each gallery -
just open a gallery, then run your mouse over the gallery
title at the top left of the screen; and (2) increased the
maximum allowed text length for each image. No doubt these
changes will allow me to waffle even more! So far I have
included brief descriptions for each gallery, but have not
yet edited any of the information on individual photos.
Except for rare instances, this 2nd change will apply only
to pictures added later.
01/07/08:
Added a new public gallery called "Almada". This
is the name of a beach between Ubatuba and Parati, near
the eastern end of the coast of Sao Paulo state, a few
kilometers before you reach the neighbouring state of Rio
de Janeiro.
19/06/08:
Added a new public gallery called "Lake
District". These are a few pictures I made on a brief
day trip with my mother. We first visited
Grange-over-Sands, on the north shore of Morecambe Bay,
looking for traces of the school where I had been a
boarder from age 8 to 13, but the whole area has been
rebuilt. I did not take any photos there. We then drove
about three miles north to Cartmel, which I had heard of
when at school, but do not remember visiting. This little
village is like a cathedral city in miniature - they hold
horse races a few times a year on the racecourse, and the
famous Priory is very impressive. Its a large church with
magnificent stained glass and carved choir stalls, founded
in 1188, although there is very little of the original
structure to be seen today. I was later told they also
have a first edition of The Faerie Queen by Edmund
Spencer. We then drove a few miles further north, past
Windermere to Grasmere, in the heart of Wordsworth
country.
17/06/08:
Removed some of the old photos from the public gallery
"Ibirapuera" and added several new ones.
16/06/08:
Removed the public gallery "Angelo". Simplified
the names of the "Crosby" and "Embu"
public galleries.
13/06/08:
Consolidated the public galleries "FL0707" and "FL
EG 78" into "Everglades", an existing
public gallery. The
total photos in the old galleries was reduced
from about 70 to 34 in the new gallery. There are now just
658 photos on the site in the 19 public and private
galleries.
12/06/08:
Consolidated three public galleries:"Bahia 1",
"Bahia 2" and "Casa Garcia d'Avila" into a single
gallery called "Bahia". The
total number of photos in these old galleries was reduced
from about 150 to about 70 in the new gallery. This is all
to reduce the clutter and make space for new galleries
that will be forthcoming shortly.
09/06/08:
Consolidated the two public galleries "Embu
Selects" and "Embu Maybes" into a single
gallery called "Embu 1". The
total number of photos in these galleries was reduced
from about 150 to less than 90 in the new gallery.
13/05/08:
Removed five old private galleries: "Lunch AT",
"SoLonFla 0707", "Ëaster BA", Ëaster
SP1" and "Ëaster SP2". There are now 24
galleries (6 private, 18 public) containing 834 images on
the site. I plan to consolidate several of the public
galleries over the next few weeks. Watch this space!
13/05/08:
Added 9 new images to the "Graffiti" gallery.
Click on the right and left arrows to scroll
through the galleries.
11/05/08:
Added a new public gallery called "Crosby 408".
These shots were taken during a brief visit to
Blundellsands beach near Crosby, which is just downstream
from Liverpool, on the north bank of the Mersey estuary. A
notable feature here is the "Another Place"
installation of cast-iron statues -- 100 of them spread
along about two miles of beach -- by the artist Anthony
Gourmley, best known for his massive statue "Angel of
the North" at Newcastle. The statues were apparently
moulded from the artists own body. I lived about ten miles
from here when I was a boy, from age 3 to 18 or so. This
was the first time I ever visited this particular beach,
however. Of course, the statues weren't there then! A
curious fact: at its height during the nineteenth century,
up to 40% of the worlds international trade went through
the port of Liverpool.
09/05/08:
Added a new private gallery of holiday snaps taken on my
recent trip to the UK: "London 408".
09/05/08:
Removed a couple of old galleries: "Night Ride"
(public gallery) and "TC CTP" (private gallery).
08/05/08:
Just back from almost three weeks in the USA and UK.
Uploaded some photos from the session with Bruna to the
"Angelo" gallery, after re-editing them. Coming
soon: several photos from the recent trip.
05/04/08:
Created a new public gallery -- "Angelo" --
based on a recent workshop with Angelo Pastorello. So far
I have included selections from the shoot with Larissa at
the FullFrame studio and also from the shoot with Deyvidi
at Angelo's studio. Soon I will add some shots from the
session with Bruna, also at Angelo's studio. Thanks to
Angelo for all his help.
01/03/08:
Created two more public galleries -- "NYC 78"
and ÜK 78" --
with pictures from our recent
visits to New York and England, in December 2007 and
January this year. This is all for photos made on that trip. Now I
can go and take some more!
29/02/08:
Created another public gallery
this one called "MoMA 78", containing a few shots from two recent
visits to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in December 2007 and
January this year.
26/02/08:
Created a public gallery called "FL
EG 78", containing some shots from two recent
visits to the Florida Everglades, in December 2007 and
January this year.
24/02/08
(later): Created a public gallery called "NewMex
1207", containing a few shots from our brief trip to
New Mexico in December.
24/02/08:
Today I have uploaded the final private gallery of holiday snaps called
"X78 USA". Surprisingly, these photos were taken at various
places in the USA both before and after the Christmas / New Year. Soon, I shall be posting some public galleries of photos
from the UK and USA. Watch this space!
23/02/08
(later): Another private gallery of holiday snaps called
"X78 UK3". These photos were taken at various
locations in the Cotswolds and in Oxford,
just before and after the New Year. Within a day or two I
hope to post the fourth and final gallery from this set,
with photos from the time we spent in the USA. Following
that, I shall be posting some public galleries of photos
from the UK and USA. Lots of new stuff coming
soon!
23/02/08:
Here is the second (private) gallery of holiday snaps:
"X78 UK2". These photos were taken in Southport,
just before Christmas. Watch this space - more stuff
coming soon!
22/02/08:
Almost five months since the last update! During this time
I was travelling for about six weeks, and had a total
computer breakdown which required total reinstallation of
all the software on a new computer and restoration of all
the data from back-ups. At the same time, I had to catch
up with my backlog of other work. Finally we have the
first (private) gallery of my holiday snaps, called
"X78 UK1". These are all photos taken in London
over the Christmas period. I'll post the rest of the
holiday snaps in private galleries over the next few days,
and then some other stuff (in public galleries), also made
during the trip.
28/09/07:
Very busy these last two months. Today I removed three old
private galleries from the site: "Arnie 18",
"Bordados" and "Fotoforma M". I also
consolidated a number of private galleries, as follows:
(1) "Bahia 7s", "Salvador", "PF
1", part of "PF2 GV" and "BA CPF
N3" were consolidated into the new private gallery
"Easter BA"; (2) "GVTS 1" and "MBBQ"
were consolidated into the new private gallery
"Easter SP1", and (3) part of "PF2 GV"
and all of "Ponies AT", "GVTS 2" and
"Other GV SP" were consolidated into the new
private gallery "Easter SP2". Planning
to make several more changes soon, and then add some new
material.
31/07/07:
Back from our trip. Created a new public gallery, called
"FL0707", and two private galleries, "SoLonFla
0707" and "BL01".
21/06/07:
Removed two old private galleries: "FL67" and
"UK67". I am going to be travelling until
July 20th. It is unlikely there will be anything new added
to the site until I get back. Email enquiries will still reach
me, but replies may take a little longer than usual during
this period.
18/06/07:
Added some photos to the private gallery "Lunch AT"
taken on June 3rd. Also created a new private gallery
called "Fotoforma M".
13/06/07:
Created one new private gallery "Lunch AT".
13/06/07:
Created one new public gallery, called
"Graffiti", and added several photos to the
existing "Ibirapuera" public gallery.
12/06/07:
Consolidated the public gallery "Bahia 2" into
the public gallery "Bahia 1", which now contains
a total of 60 photos, and renamed the "Bahia 3"
public gallery as "Bahia 2", with a total of 50
photos.
11/06/07:
Consolidated two private galleries ("Catassuba N3"
and "Praia Forte N3") into a single private gallery called

I am
going to be away over Christmas and the New Year, so there

the middle of January. Email enquiries will still reach
me, but replies may take a little longer than usual during
this period.
With
best wishes to all our friends for a Very Merry
Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!

always welcome!

Created the private gallery "Wedding CE". Selected shots taken on 35mm film without flash.
Once again, I was just a guest at this event, not the
official photographer, so I tried to make pictures that
would complement those taken by the pros with their DSLRs
and flash.
01/10/06:
Created the private gallery "Wedding AEH". These images not yet edited. Gallery
includes all shots taken, not just selected photos. This
includes a few that missed the moment, are out of focus or
badly exposed. I was just a guest at this event, not the
official photographer, so I just took these snaps with a
digicam, without flash, in an attempt to complement the
pros' shots taken with DSLRs and flash..
23/09/06:
Created two new public galleries: "Embu Selects"
and "Embu Maybes". In these galleries I will be
placing the 'selects' and 'maybe selects' for my Embu
project. The selection is not final, and I still intend to
take many more photos for this project. The selected
photos have been moved out of the other Embu galleries. If
there are any photos still remaining in these galleries
that you think deserve 'promotion', please feel free to
let me know. On the other hand, if there are any photos in
the new galleries that you think should be excluded, I'd
also like to know.

the site to general access. Of course, not everything is ready yet. We only have a few galleries loaded, and only about 10% of the “Notes pages”. We’ll be
adding material in both these areas whenever we have a few spare moments. The galleries can be accessed from the home page. Sales are still under
construction, but you can contact us by email for any enquiries. Check “This site” for an overview, and …
