Out Of Time & Place (Sun, Sea, Sky)

Rays of light over the sea

The photos here are a random selection taken mainly around my local area of the North East of England.

I can’t exactly remember when I first started getting into Travel & Photography but it must have been somewhere around 1997/8 when I was in Art college and moving on to University.
For some reason I wasn’t particularly concerned with man’s effect on environment but had a desire to capture the natural environment as untouched as it possibly could be...
The natural environment to me was beyond the fashions of Art & Design
but yet expressed a timeless, universal beauty and language shared by One & All.
And so I first started taking photos around the North East of the nearby coast (Seaton, Hartlepool) and nearest mountain range of Roseberry Topping, around the late nineties/early noughties..




The majority of the photos displayed must have been taken around this period of late nineties to early noughties, with the exception of the moon series and the Northumbrian photos, and hence the old film grain feel to them... The photos as you can see give no particular indication of specific place and fit the “out of time” theme and I hope they speak for themselves in image and in slightly poetic title.


Dark & Dramatic


Melancholy sea





Drifting sands Headland




Sunlight breaks the cloud






Clouds and seas


Moon series

Five leaves left


A stream of colour runs through

Light sea landscape


Lucid & Colourful


Orange yellow sky

Sunset over trees


Sun overcomes

Warmth in light

Fire in the sky

The Red orb

Red sun awakens

Red sun rises
