, and ) or via the latest gallery newsletter (sign up here if you like). Also a special thanks for who took the time to pop into the gallery today and say hello in person.

Thanks for reading. If you liked this, you may also enjoy the posts below. I’ll be back again as soon as get all these prints delivered and relative calm returns.

As I cycled around the city I began to spot these patterns plastered all over town and I started to photograph the…
It wasn’t until I moved away that I realised how tree-y Brighton was. I’m pleased to see it still has them in unlikely places. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice to meet you today Finn - next time I'll remember to actually buy something!
