...the largest photosensitive emulsion we know of is the planet earth. As vegetation grows, dies back, changes colour with the seasons, the "photographic image" that is our planet alters. Increasingly human intervention plays a larger role in transforming the image of the globe we inhabit.

Working with chemical based photographic processes from the early 1970s to 2005, I became acutely aware of the importance in exposing the material for the correct amount of light.  Too much light and the print was over exposed and too dark – too little and the print was underexposed and  too light. Chemical composition also played a part -  exhausted or contaminated chemicals and the development of the negative or print in the tray was ruined. Making a fine art photographic print was an art and skill that demanded a series of precise conditions. There was an unseverable connection between cause and effect.
