A Winters Tale

I have a list of artists and photographers that I really want to share on here but the weeks seem to go by and I have all these posts in my draft column, that just never seem to be published. Last night I came across another to add to the list but decided that I would just post about him straight away instead of just adding it to an already huge pile.

Tony Pick is a local photographer; living and working on the Suffolk coast. He was our wedding photographer and when we met him he instantly put us at ease; which was great when both my husband and I hate having our photo taken. Besides his excellent weddings and portraits he also takes the most spectacular landscape photography. I saw his latest exhibition advertised in our local paper and had a quick look on his website last night.

All the photographs I have featured are from the exhibition 'A Winters Tale' and I feel they truly show the weather in all its harsh reality from this year. On the east coast of England the weather can be quite brutal at times and I feel his series of photographs really emphasise this.

Last night when I looked through the images I also got a fantastic reminder that this time of year can also be beautiful and magical. I have been desperately wishing winter away, pining for Spring but these images lightened my heart a little and served to remind me why I love this part of the world all year round. Tony's images I feel, also highlight the vast skies we are fortunate to have here in Suffolk and the photographs with the breaks in cloud are truly stunning.

So if you have a spare ten minutes today, settle down with a warm drink and please nip over to Tony Pick's website Coastal Images to have a look at his latest collection and some of his other work. Maybe then you might see why I am so in love with where I live and begin to understand why. Looking through these images last night certainly reminded me.
