Updating the portfolio

If you’ve been here before, you may have noticed that the portfolio has shrunk somewhat. That’s because I’m in the process of reworking many of the images.

Until now, I was happy to upload the photographs I’d taken of megalithic sites in Normandy, the Pays de la Loire and, most importantly, Brittany. I’m grateful for the number of people who’ve emailed me to say that they enjoyed my pictures of Carnac and other places.

But while the images were fine as records of the places I’d visited, they didn’t really express what I felt about the places. I always knew that the final images would be heavily treated. So now I’m going through that process (as with the image of the dolmen, above) and will be uploading the pictures as and when they’re ready.

The first to be finished are my ‘Modern Megalith‘ images of World War 2 coastal defences, including those at Pointe du Hoc – appropriate, perhaps, given the time of year.

At the same time, I’m uploading many of the images to RedBubble, where you can buy high-quality greetings cards, prints and posters. There’s already a full selection of the Modern Megaliths images and I’ll be adding pictures of the ancient megaliths – in the Signals in Stone section – as they’re ready.

I’m also planning a series of calendars and books. So please do keep popping back.
