Supporting my friends Foundation has been a key focus for me this Christmas, providing the children at the orphanage with a home, food, an education, and the opportunity of a better future.

I believe that everyone needs some from the day job and for several years now for me it has been photography which I always thought was about being outdoors, standing on a beautiful beach or up the side of a hill.

I am keen to share work more regularly and so I have decided this year I am going to use my phone to create and share and image every week.

As we take stock of the past twelve months we look forward to the year ahead and set ourselves goals, or dare I say it, resolutions.

The conditions unexpectedly changed, good for photography, less so if you were hoping to enjoy the beautiful views.

When I have other plans I know that is the time great conditions will present themselves and one Sunday morning back in January was such a day.

For a number of years I had felt a desire to shoot square medium format black and white film

I love spending time immersing myself in woodlands; the scale, the sounds, the smells.
