A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO NEIL THE VERGER FOR RIGGING UP SOME SUPERB LIGHTING IN WHAT IS AN ENORMOUS SPACE, TO JOHN THE VERGER FOR HELPING OUT WITH SALES AND ESPECIALLY TO CAROL FOR HELPING OUT ON OUR PRIVATE VIEW EVENING.
This is the amazing view of Beverley Minster's rare pipe organ taken through the boss aperture at the top of the central tower. A very big thank you to Carol Parkinson for organizing this and especially to the Minster Plumber/Glazier Steve Rial for taking me up into the workshop at the top of the tower. BBC Look North reporter Linsey Smith came along to interview us both, and it was broadcast on the same day in the Yorkshire Lincolnshire region. The image will be added to the Minster's archive and I will include it in my new book "Beautiful Yorkshire" which is due to be published in July 2008.
I will be running two special exhibition one day digital photography workshops on Saturday 19th April and Saturday 3rd may. These will start with a couple of hours photography inside the Minster followed by Landscape Photography for the rest of the day. Transport and lunch is not included and the cost will be £75 per person with a maximum of five places.
I have a large display of assorted Giclee Canvas Prints for sale at Bijou Gift and Book shop, Chapel St, Easingwold, York YO61 3AE Tel: 01347 822177. Bijou also stock some of my regional landscape books.
My exhibition "Light Land and Sea" which did extremely well at The Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes, Wensleydale last year will be showing at this lovely venue in Micklegate York. I will introduce a few new images and again the majority will be canvas stretch prints.

I have recently completed two new books. East Anglia Landscapes ISBN 18474601109 and East Anglia Panoramas ISBN 1847460224 BOTH ARE NOW AVAILABLE SIGNED/DEDICATED by me or can be ordered from Amazon or www.myriadbooks.com. East Anglia Villages is almost complete and will be published in June 2008.
I had hoped to complete all three book for this year but Village Life, Events and People proved to be even more elusive than the English weather!
Two smaller discovery guides for "The Yorkshire Dales" and "The Yorkshire Coast and North York Moors" will also be published this summer.
I am currently working on two new books, and both will be published in June next year 2008. The first is "The Yorkshire Coast and Moors Panoramas", and the second is "Beautiful Yorkshire" which will also be available as a large soft back version.
