This year I have been lucky enough to have four photographs chosen for exhibitions by The Glasgow Gallery of Photography in Scotland. It has been a real honour and it is the first time any of my work has been exhibited in print. I like that the four chosen are very different images.

The first in January - Upside Down Reflections - was in the gallery’s Abstract ehibition. This photograph was made in November 2023 in Inwood Hill Park on the northern tip of Manhattan. The bridge carries the Henry Hudson Parkway and links Manhattan to Spuyten Duyvil and Riverdale in The Bronx. There was some lovely morning golden hour light on the bridge.

The second in February – Sunday Afternoon Stroll on Highbridge – was in the Stories exhibition. The photograph was made in August 2018 on a hot, sultry Sunday afternoon when people and families were out, admiring views down to Midtown Manhattan. There is something about the family or group in the middle, with the Jack Russel dog, that make it look like the photograph was from the 1950s. We were able to to get over to Glasgow in February and see it in person at the gallery.

The third in March – Hurleyville Reflections – was in the Landscape exhibition. The water had been frozen over for three months. One morning in mid-to-late March 2021, when driving into Hurleyville, I was surprised to see it had melted, because it was still ice a few days earlier. I was on my way to photograph something else, but was able to stop and make this photograph. The fog acted as a natural reverse vignette around the trees and their reflections.

The fourth – Bin in a Tidal Lagoon – went on display in the Glasgow Gallery’s High Street location on 3rd April, although the official opening was on 5th April. The Colour exhibition sat alongside the gallery’s Monochrome exhibition, and both ran until 27th April. This photograph was made three years ago in April at Orchard Beach in the Bronx. The colour of the rusting steel was being enhanced by the golden light of the setting sun. This is the sekelton of a former New York City street corner rubbish bin, or trash can.

Sunday Afternoon Stroll on Highbridge was also exhibited for one week in New York City at the Visionary Projects gallery at 124 Forsyth Street, New York, NY 10002. It opened on Wednesday 12th March.
