I have spent many years making images in and from my garden. I have used a variety of techniques; conventional black and white prints, cyanotype photograms, using live flowers from the garden, on cloth and paper and pinhole images.

The images shown here are pinhole images, made with a modified Mamiya 7 camera. The lens is replaced by a body-cap fitted with a pinhole.

Using this process adds a special, mysterious atmosphere which is helped by the low view point of the camera.
