    The Isle of Rum from Camusdarach, Scotland, photographed by Jack Lowe

    "All the complex wires of life were stripped out and he could see the structure of life. "Nothing but rock and sea, the tiny figures of humans and animals against them for a brief time." — Annie Proulx, The Shipping News
    Annie Proulx has eloquently put into words an issue I've been pondering of late... When I first step out of the car having journeyed to a place such as the west coast of Scotland, why is it that I always feel so readily and notably at ease? Any cares or concerns fritter away in the breeze (there's always at least a breeze in Scotland) and my mind seems instantly able to function with a new-found clarity. It's a sensation rather akin to drinking a lovely cool glass of water on a baking hot day.

    For Example...

    In August my wife and I travelled to a spot just south of Mallaig in Scotland. I wrote about it shortly afterwards on these pages. The thing is, this site didn't even exist at the start of that week and now it does — a direct result of the clarity gained from being in a location so wild as the west coast of Scotland. On the day this site was conceived, during that week in August, I made my first new photograph in years — one that I knew would be among the first to grace these pages. So, here it is, a sumptuous Platinum/Palladium print capturing the beautiful Isle of Rum at dusk (as seen from the mainland at Camusdarach)...
