Moonlit seascapes at Hendon beach in Sunderland. Cold, crisp, clear surrounded by the sound of waves hitting the shore, scenes and sounds for contemplation.
Part of my MA Fine Art project at the University of Sunderland

Contemplative seascapes. Time spent on beaches and cliff tops, unraveling the mind to the sound of froth on shingle, the crash of waves, gulls crying. Work towards MA Fine Art at Sunderland University.

The stains of artistic effort. Artist's tables found in the Priestman building of University of Sunderland. Accidental art by unnamed artists, beautiful in their own terms

The very beginnings of a project for my MA Fine Art course at @sunderlanduni
I spend a great deal of my time outside, surrounded by nature, by trees. There has been a significant amount of research done into the positive effects of being outside, in nature, of the therapeutic nature of the movement of trees, of water, of breathing in clean air. Over the past year, we were excluded from wandering wherever we felt, isolated indoors, prevented from travelling to our favourite places. I think we have also learnt to appreciate everything outdoors, nature and the environment. This project will explore all of these issues and themes (how, I don’t quite know yet).
It would be great to hear peoples favourite places to wander, contemplate: those places that you go when you want to switch the rest of the world off.

Fog filled head, I forced myself out for a drive at the weekend. No idea where I was going, I drove unknown country lanes, lined with the evidence of autumn. Perhaps it's the shorter days, maybe a year full of work suddenly ending, a change in the weather. Whatever it is, it's pushing my shoulders down, pushing my mood down. My words have become super accelerated, mind overflowing, body twitching. As the days blend into one I'm starting to recognise the causes. Past problems unresolved are floating to the surface. I drove places I'd never been before, lanes that looked like each other until I found myself at Cawfields car park on Hadrian's Wall. I walked for hours in the drizzle, in a daze, until I gained some perspective.

Woodland walks. It has been a long time since I've been this low. I can't work out what it is that is breaking my stride. Life is giving me everything that I want, but sometimes I cannot stop the darkness from enveloping me. Behind the ringing in my ears, my mind is filled with the worst of the past; every loss, every failure, every scar, every hurt. I've reached out for help, but as always it comes too slowly and with every waiting day the problems become more significant. I am struggling to keep those things in place that help; run everyday, eat properly, sleep well, take time. Time between the trees is my only reprieve.

Back to Landrover Experience in Skipton to photograph Veterans training in 4x4 driving for @vetrun180 . Tomorrow we head up to Scotland to take the group of injured veterans on a coast to coast expedition from Dunnattor castle in the East to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse in the west.

Last day of off-roading with @vetrun180 another amazing opportunity, helping injured veterans through expeditions and 'adventure therapy'. The conditions and weather have been excellent, a bit of rain to keep the routes interesting, but plenty of sun and dry spells, so that morale stays high.

Back out with @vetrun180 documenting another group of Veterans on an 'adventure therapy' expedition. This time a coast to coast 4x4 trip across the Yorkshire Moors, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District, the same journey that last year, helped to lift me from a very dark place.
These images are from the driver training the Veterans are currently taking at Landrover Experience in Skipton.

Up at 4.30 this morning and just down the road to take on Ben Nevis, all 4413 ft of it. Totally unplanned, fast walking, bit of running up it, running down it completed it in just under 3 hours 30 minutes. Legs aching, ankles swollen but an amazing feeling of achievement.

Hampton Court Castle, Herefordshire with @walt3592 Without a doubt one of the best gardens I've photographed. A walled garden with formal and informal sections, beautiful weather, a brilliant day in a relaxing environment.

The most amazing week, full of opportunity, ending with a helicopter journey down the country and back. I can't put into words how much Matt Abbott and Simon Dedman have done for me. The course this week has challenged me in lots of ways, but has also reminded that I can be of value, that there is a purpose to my life and that there are a brilliant bunch of guys in @Vetrun180 who will always have my back. Thanks for everything guys.
