All of our prints are shipped in tubes (except sizes 6x4", 7x5" and A4 prints which are shipped in cardboard mailer envelopes). The Figure on a stool - These I find quite difficult simply because of the stools - I am not good at any kind of still life, even if it has a woman sitting on it.

Along with many others he has embraced digital photography but can still be seen, from time to time, peering through the ground glass of a large format camera, hoisting a large medium format 6x7, or indeed still using a 35mm film camera.
