A Dream....

Back in August I was given the opportunity to shoot photos of Dylan Thomas' Writing Shed. It was an exciting opportunity for me; I had dreamed of doing this for an absolute age. I shot five films, one 35mm black and white, one 35mm colour and three 120mm colour films.

I had hoped that I would be able to exhibit some of the images, but due to financial restrictions and in all honesty at the time, I hadn't been overly happy with the results, I decided not to show them. I was disappointed, but the excitement for me was being there in the shed where Dylan had spent much of his time writing such masterpieces as Under Milk Wood. So in the end it didn't matter that I couldn't exhibit the pictures, it mattered more to me that I had been there.

Having put away the images for a while, and now looking at them again, I'm not so unhappy with them.

These are some of the 35mm black and white film I shot...


















Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
