During lockdown, all photographers were trapped, wanting to be creative but limited by the restrictions on our movements. At the time were living in North Somerset and were lucky to have a garden that backed onto open fields that stretched out to the Mendip Hills in the distance.
This was what started my “Lazy Photography” series. This is actually a set of images taken over the garden fence - often with cows for company - watching the sun rise over the Mendips. Each morning, my first job was to check the weather, was it misty (common on the flat land of Somerset) or clear, bright or dull. The compositions are all very similar but it is amazing how different the light and conditions are each time. The easiest images I probably got, no hikes or climbs just standing at the bottom of the garden with a cup of tea watching the sun rise! Recently I went to the National Museum of Wales to see an exhibition by Garry Fabian Miller called The Sea Horizon, which comprised 40 photographs of the sea horizon taken from his flat in Clevedon, not a million miles from where we lived, capturing the different conditions everytime he pressed the shutter. Perhaps one day my series of photographs will make it to an exhibition!
