  16. Hi Adrian, I’m a friend of Herman van Bon. I live in Bristol & only found Cowhill thanks to his directions! Would love to be in touch. You have my email if you’d like to say hi!

    • Bob, thank you very much – and thank you too for following my blog! I hope you will enjoy my forthcoming pictures. The photography on your blog is excellent – that handful of radishes really caught my eye on Freshly Pressed, and your shot of the expectant mother is full of character. Adrian

  20. Dear Adrian
    i came across your details on Google. I used to live and work in Magadi in the ’60s, and I have now been asked to give a talk (FOC!) to my local U3A group where I now live – in Tiverton, Devon.. I am seeking any suitable images to enliven my talk. I have a few old slides but they have now faded and are not very exciting!

    Any help you can provide would be much appreciated – I would be happy to acknowledge your copyright of any of your images I might use. I particularly like your Archive 6 (pink landscape), but some of your other shots of L Magadi are v good too!

    Kind regards

    Gordon Davies (now long retired in the UK and nearing 80 years of age!).

    • Hello Gordon

      Your message made me do a double take as I knew a Gordon Davies long, long ago but I don’t think it was you – he was Assistant Curator of the museum in Weston-super-Mare.

      Anyway, good to hear from you – and I’m in U3a too, here in Bristol. I can probably help you out.

      Practicalities: rather than corresponding via Comments on my blog, it’ll be better to use my email, which should appear when you read this reply to your comment – failing that, please send me your email on another comment.

      Second, I assume you’re asking me to email digital images to you, for use on a digital projector – is that right? You aren’t asking me to send you actual colour slides are you, as I would never loan the original slides out.

      When is your talk taking place?

      Adrian

  22. Wow! Such incredible shots. I am a big fan of your black and white work!
    (Just a note…. the comments on this page are so long it makes the site a little hard to read! I’m not sure if there is a way to minimize the number of comments shown on your home page. Just a thought!)

    • Graham, thank you very much for your good words – and its always good to meet another Nikon user! Black and white is close to my heart, and I especially like using Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro 2 software to produce it.

      Thank you for your comment on the numbers of comments on my home page, that’s really very useful to know – I had no knowledge of this effect. And, amazingly (for me, anyway!), I’ve been able to do something about it via Settings – Discussion, such that these comments are now on three pages – and I may make that 4. That really is very useful to know. Adrian

    • Hahaha! >>> as in Breakfast = “The Life Force” or “The Reason I Get Up In The Mornings”? Well it just might be! Tho its a good job I don’t eat as many of these great delicacies as I feel like eating, or my arms wouldn’t reach the keyboard!

      Thank you for your comments, Steveo, they’re good to hear. And I hope you’re having a very good Christmas! Adrian

  24. A nice collection…well done…if only I could comment on each individual image. I love them all…especially the landscape and architecture 🙂

      • Hate to disappoint you, my friend, but the images on this front page have remained unchanged for 2+ years – you might not have seen some of them, because (maybe …) some of them have not actually appeared on posts.

        I ought to do more with this front page but never get around to it – it just remains “out front” as an eye / attention catcher. And maybe an interesting point – more of the images here derive from my film days than were taken digitally. A

    • Good to hear from you, Dennis, and thanks very much for your good words and for following my blog! Your pictures of bees are good. I look through WordPress’s Freshly Pressed most days – hope I see more of your work. Adrian 🙂
