Physical Grain

This week saw my image Sermon on the Sand featured on Ray Lorose’s website Physical Grain. I’m really happy that my image has been included; there’s the obvious personal pleasure in seeing one’s work valued and appreciated by others, but it’s worth highlighting Physical Grain as a website and concept too. 

I can surely recommend taking a look: you’ll find a carefully selected gallery of film-based images, each with an accompanying backstory or short technical insight. As Ray states above, he’s deliberately tried to avoid the simple ‘liking’ format of some social media platforms, and instead focusses on but one image a week. There is an elegance and simplicity to the work, and one can certainly see Ray’s guiding eye at work in the selections. It’s not always easy to find sources of images that are of consistently high quality, but Physical Grain is one of those places. The link below will take you directly to the site if you’d care to take a look.
