in some browsers (recent versions of Apple’s safari for example) images may not appear. you may need to disable any adblockers, or whitelist my website, before the images appear.

click on any image to get a lightbox effect in your browser. the images will automatically expand to fill the available browser screen space — this website and the photos are best viewed on a retina screen or equivalent, but will work with any modern browser

notes

  • the top navigation menus are a bit confusing just now. they’re being re‐arranged and re‐organised. you’d think this would be a simple job, but it’s very troublesome
  • you can find additional information and navigation by scrolling down to the bottom of the page.
  • the site uses lightbox extensively on most pages and nearly all individual images. this will work in all modern browsers. photographs are best seen by clicking on the thumbnails which open in a large lightbox display. the site is best viewed full screen, and if you have it, a retina, 4K or similar quality monitor.
