gamekeeper n. a person employed to take care of game, as on an estate
Newby employs 2 gamekeepers (a headkeeper and an underkeeper) to maintain their pheasant (and partridge) shoot. I’ve been fascinated by gamekeeping for while, whilst working in Nidderdale I spent a lot of time with the gamekeepers looking after the grouse moorland. As well as the gamekeepers, shooting has a lot of other occupations on the actual shoot days which have intriguing names associated with it: beater, flanker, birdman …
So I couldn’t resist the temptation to spend some time with the gamekeepers at Newby. At…
Much of the past few weeks have been spent getting to grips with Newby Hall where I am currently artist in residence and finally I feel like I can find my way around a bit and am getting to know who’s who.
The Hall and gardens are currently closed to the public for Winter so I feel its been a great privilege to be able to see the Estate during this time.
Last month, I spent a morning meeting some of the 40-odd staff with the Lucinda Compton, the estate owner. It’s been amusing to hear everyones opinions on who…

Back in early 2008 I posted off my CD of images and proposal for the BJP’s Project Assistance Award from Hanoi (wondering if it would even get there!) and was lucky enough to get featured in the 5th March issue of the BJP.
Selected from a longlist of 51 published entries in last year’s BJP, which in turn were chosen from more than 1500 submitted portfolios, I recently found out that I have been shortlisted along with 7 other photographers and following a group meeting in London in early Feb must now write an extended, fully costed proposal for my…
I’m very excited to be one of 6 artists selected for Art Connections ‘Inspired by Heritage’ residency programme. During 2009 I will be artist in residence at Newby Hall near Ripon, a private Georgian family home and garden owned by the Compton family. The house and garden is open to the public between April and September. I will be producing new work for an exhibition and running a series of community workshops.
I am pleased to announce that a portfolio of 4 images from Home Work has received second prize in the Life category in the Travel Photographer of the Year Competition. The winning images can be seen on http://www.tpoty.com

It is almost six months since we returned from Hanoi, however I called in for three days on my way back from China to see for myself the changes beginning to take place following the announcement of Hanoi’s expansion into a “super city”.
Officially designated on 7th August, the expansion makes Hanoi the 17th largest capital city in the world with 6.2 million people, double the previous population. Hà Tây no longer exists as a separate province.
“This adjustment has sprung from the country’s demand for development opportunities for the new capital.”

The Sunday Times Magazine has a new section devoted to showcasing the best photography from around the globe and this week my photograph of H?u – Mi?n (canna flour noodle) making village from Home Work is featured as a full page.
On Sunday I will be leaving UK for two weeks to undertake a short trip to Yunnan province in China returning via Hanoi for 3 days to put those finishing touches to Home Work – weather permitting as Hanoi is rumoured to be unseasonally waist deep in rainwater at the moment!
I won’t have access to email during my trip so if anyone would like to speak to me urgently my mobile numbers are: China: 0086 13987263935 (10-18 Nov), Vietnam: 0084 0936110558 (18-21 Nov) or failing those I will have my UK mobile with me: 07850 740254.

On my recent trip to Romania I visited as many people who appear in the Hand to Mouth book as possible to give them a copy. Sadly one old lady we called in on in Oncesti had died this spring, but here beekeeper Ioan Tivadar and his wife view the book at their bee hives in Glod.
At the moment the Maramures landscape looks much the same as it always has. The old people are still making hay, picking plums and growing vegetables. Everyone we spoke to has at least…

Featuring portfolios by: Michael Ableman, Wout Berger, Tessa Bunney, Jason Houston, Raoul Kramer, Eduardo Martino, Peter Menzel, Brad Phalin, Heinrich Riebesehl, Munem Wasif
Scientists are only now beginning to tell us what many traditional farmers have always known: small crops of vegetables grown in mixed plots can be produced without chemicals, more efficiently and with richer supplies of nutrients than industrially grown crops. This edition of Daylight features a diverse range of photographic representations of agricultural practice…
