Most of the pics are taken out doors, I was loathe to use the camera's flash except on a few occasions and most of the indoor shots were either under or over exposed. I also noticed I had a tendancy to shoot picture of the people who were around me rather than of the building and its contents.

 Would it be corny to call this picture "Lines And Lecturer"?
I love the way the straight lines run through this picture. I cropped it to include more of the lines than the people that were present.  That's a decision that I'm begining to regret  now with after thought.
 A group of art students minding there own business'. Moments later they all gave me that, Why's the old man  taking photographs of us look.
 Two of my favourite subjects ancient red brick and gnarley twisted trees. This is my favourite of several red brick photographs I took at Kedlestone Hall. I'm a real red brick porn fanatic. It's a bit like a giant bonsai tree.
 I was tempted to  crop this picture to square up the composition and to accentuate the contrasts, but in the end I left it. I think it works better this way.
 I feel this picture should be inside giant parenthesis marks. I only included it to show that I did actually enter the house.  Ha, to be honest I liked the way the cracked wall had been repaired in a way that looked like Frozen Lightning. It's the Holy Grail or white lightnin' cider or something.
Self Portrait, A Reflection. I think this is only picture that I actually altered in any way. I just heightened the colour a little. (I think the girl thought I was perving on her). I do like the way that, as a self portraight it seems to concentrate more on another subject rather than the self. Though as the girl fits inside my reflection, I wonder what I'm trying to say here.
