Dragon Eggs!

by KitChildrens portraiture, People, Photography, Portrait 19 September, 202026 July, 2025No Comments

I like dragons. And love seeing how children engage in make-believe. This was very much a personal project, taking advantage of an opportunity that arose from a trip to a local play area, Dinton Pastures, with friends. One of the play parts at Dinton is a wide hollow in the ground with huge wooden eggs …

“Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside…”

by KitNature, Photography 17 September, 2020No Comments

Beaches are fun and I love them for the variety of patterns you can find along the shoreline through the interaction of sand, water, wind and tide and often quite varied along the same stretch of coastline. The ripples, rivulets, all adding to the patterns. They also make great backgrounds and this collection of patterns …

Frozen Fire

by KitNature, Photography 13 September, 2020No Comments

There's a beauty to nature I often find others miss, be it patterns in the ground, sky, rocks, plants, or the transient, constantly moving, living, dynamic force to be seen in fire and water. With the latter, because it is constantly moving and often a very transient, it's too fast for our eyes to capture. …

Textures

by KitNature 17 August, 2020No Comments

Don't know about you, but I love textures. I can be shooting a wedding and notice some fabulous detail on the dress or out for a walk and see patterns or randomness that just looks pleasant or interesting. Could be a patch of sand, sea, water, ground, fire, sky, trees, bark, leaves, plants, flowers, etc, …

Comet watching

by KitNature 16 August, 2020No Comments

The UK is not exactly known for lots of clear skies and good views of the sky are worse when like me you face a fair amount of light pollution from living in an urban area like mine as well as a fair amount of obstruction of the open sky by surrounding buildings. So I …

After a long sojourn where this website had issues, I'm finally back with a new website, a fresh new look and some new functionality. Hope you enjoy. There's not much been happening during lock-down. I've not been travelling much at all with family and images I have taken have been very much family and friends. …

A visit by Professor Robert Winston to the RVC in 2013 to give a special lecture for the Society for Reproduction and Fertility (www.srf-reproduction.org) and talk to some students was another event that stands out in my memory. Hired by the RVC to cover the event I also had the advantage of being the only …

Royal Visit

by KitEvent, Reportage 16 August, 202018 January, 2026No Comments

Back in 2015 I was asked by the Royal Veterinary College to cover the visit of HRH the Duchess of Cornwall's to the Beaumont Hospital. It was a fantastic experience, but very different to the reportage I am used to. Before the visit, very few details were given out - including who it was who …

Brexit: Stats or Lies?

by KitEducation, Learning Technology 8 February, 201720 May, 2025No Comments

“There are lies, damned lies and statistics” (Sir Benjamin Disraeli, 1895 [i]) When the BBC published an article looking at the breakdown of local voting in the EU referendum on 6 February 2017 (Rosenbaum & Greenwood 2017), I am not sure even they were aware of the amount of interest it would pique. Although the …
