  • A Fall In Time: Introduction

    Our lives are shaped by the paths we take, whether through choice, or by chance.

    Sometimes, this takes the form of the path not taken, sometimes that we follow. Often, both.

    This is the introduction to my forthcoming limited series, for the first time also available as a podcast, A Fall in Time. This series details the months I spent living alone in the woods of western Scotland, close to nature.

    To see original photography from that adventure and discover more of my work, do please head to my Substack letter:

    This introduction is also available as a letter, with navigation links for each post as I share them, lots of photos, and more:

    I do hope you'll have a listen or read. Thanks.
