Another day, and a u-turn on rights grabbing T&Cs… life is definitely improving!
I’ve recently joined a few direct protests on unfair use of images by organisations and corporations. This isn’t normally something that I’ve got too involved in, but perhaps coming back from somewhere as wonderful as Antarctica has thrown things into perspective a bit. [...]

The first few images from my Antarctica trip are now online here. It’s going to take a while to go through all that I took and process them, but this is the best place to look for them! Later on in the year, some of them will be available to view in an exhibition that [...] Rights grabs are far too common place these days – it seems almost every competition is a thinly veiled way for the competition sponsor to gain a free photolibrary, and now the magazines are at it with photosharing sites. ust a quick reminder that this is the last couple of weeks that my work is up in Derbyshire Hospitals as part of their air (arts to aid wellbeing program). Imagine a world in which a thief could take the licence plate off your car, and not get punished for it. Well, perhaps that already happens, perhaps not. But what if the Government were to introduce a Bill that allows such thieves to then take that car without your consent and do whatever they like [...] What is an Orphan Work? Have been taking a bit of time out to enjoy the Poor Knights Islands – off Tutukaka, Northern New Zealand. When I reached Waitomo, I was really looking forward to taking photos of glow-worms in the world-famous caves there. But it nearly wasn’t to be… It seems the main caves have decided that in the rush to get as many (ticket-buying) folks through the system as possible, taking of pix is no longer allowed in [...] Christmas and Boxing Day pass in a bit of a blur. We get our first chance to walk on water (oh, ok, it’s fast sea ice – that mean’s it’s stuck to the land rather than floating freely in the ocean – but it’s still water, even if it is frozen!) at Cape Washington, where we have an awesome day with Emperor Penguins and their chicks. First of all a Ross Seal decides to interrupt our lunch – it’s such a rare sighting that the captain very kindly and adeptly manoevers the boat for the best position at a really close range (for a 400mm lens that is!). To put the rareness of this sighting into perspective – Sue Flood, our expedition photographer, says that in 35 years of working in the Antarctic, her husband (film-maker Doug Allen) has never seen even one Ross Seal, and now we’ve seen two! |
