Yellow Stickered

A showcase for my photography - I have a passion for macro and for "art bending" with perspective control lenses.


Another infra-red shot, this time of a mysterious hole-y stone. I have no idea what it is, although I suspect that it was part of a 16th century sugar refinery that stood on the site, which was excavated to reveal the fortifications of Palaipafos, and the temple of Aphrodite. 









































Or, how I spent Christmas day, 2011.... One of the lesser known archaeological sites of Cyprus, largly because it completely unsignposted! The site yielded the largest known single piece stone pot. The original is in the Louvre, leaving only this replica and the remains of a second vessel, seen on the left of the picture. The image was shot in infra-red in the early afternoon of Christmas Day. I has trying to capture some of the isolation and barrenness of the ruins. I like the way that the very high contrast of the image is reminiscent of the lunar landscape.

The Cat from Kato Paphos




Cats are not my thing, to be honest. The way they seem all "disconnected" when you lift them gives me the creeps! The odd thing is that they do seem eerily attracted to me. As the evening descended upon us in Kato Paphos, Cyprus, I came upon this one, which had made a home among the ruins of the archaeological park. Who could miss an opportunity to shoot a cat?

What's it all about?

Aiming to make you suffer my feeble efforts at photography and to give me an excuse to rant.

For those who care, all photographs are taken with a Canon 60D, or my specially converted infra-red Canon 40D.
