Some notes . . .
. . . on ‘Round My Manor’
A powerful set of photographs from old friend / colleague & fabulous designer Martin Brown.
Martin stopped by on his way to deepest Cornwall in a damp August — sporting a straw pork pie hat — with SLR at the ready.
We talked about old times / old friends / Caslon old face & just being old!
Some notes . . .
The talented Matthew Walder came to the workshop to document the Rue Pigalle Workshop in 2018*
Mathew says “Photography was the mix of science and art that I craved and any thoughts of being an Architect or an Astronaut soon went out of the window.
Without photography I wouldn’t have seen half the places I’ve been to, or met all the interesting people who continue to push me to capture my view of the world.”

*Rue Pigalle was founded in 2010 by Isabelle Fish, a French ‘craft-insider’ and entrepreneur with a insatiable appetite for travel and cultural discovery.
“Rue Pigalle champion crafts and support craftspeople and believe that craft is one avenue towards responsible consumption and production. As a practice and career, craft is a joyful and optimistic way to address the serious issues of sustainability, skills transmission, community economy and equitable society.”
Old friend & talented designer Mark McConnachie of ‘People Like Us’ asked me to create some typographic compositions for the launch of his new website shop.
Mark has a great photographic eye & immaculately captured the process of Designing, setting & printing these compositions.
