| The images here were taken over several years in the 1980's on second hand medium format equipment such as an old Pentax 6x7 and then printed onto Ilford Galerie. These are present day scans of those 20 year old 10x8 prints.
The majority of images are taken on or near the west and north coasts of the mainland but there are some Inner Hebridean locations as well. On good days the light can be stunning and usually capable of dramatic variations in a short time period. The further north you go the more dramatic the landscapes become. The moors and mountains of Sutherland are elemental in extreme and understandably unpopulated. In the lifestyle the old ways persist and in the few towns and villages even English is a modern intrusion. |
