The Skipwith Portfolio
Skipwith is about 5 minutes from my home and it has become my local photographic 'playground'. It is a unique area of ancient Wetland Heath in the Vale of York that is being re-generated. Influenced by reading the work of John Blakemore, I have set myself an objective to make 10 strong images in a small area of the Common over a 12 month period during 2010, deploying all of the ideas described in the first five portfolios and using it as a 'playground' to stimulate new ideas and techniques.
'Tree Stump'
Skipwith has some areas of wetland heath that are being regenerated. The trees in one particular area have been cleared to help the grasses re-generate and there are some excellent tree stumps littering the surface.
This was a first go at photographing one of them.
