frequently process an image simply to reproduce a memory. On other
occasions I choose to alter the reality and create a dream.
This new blog is a receptacle for a selection of images which
will document my exploration of my new home on the North Coast. My

My previous photo journal prior to my move can be found at Photog-art. While my collated photography reference blog is located at Pandora's Perspective.
