About the Book
Consists of original microscopic drawings on board which have been tipped onto blank pages. Some have ms. instructions for purposes of publication and some are in colour. There are published drawings of microscopes, insects, scientific instruments and optics which have also been tipped in. Andrew Pritchard, 1804-1882, and C.R. Goring, 1792-1840, collaborated to produce a number of works including: "The natural hisory of several new, popular, and diverting living objects for the microscope" (1829); "Microscopic illustrations ..." (1830); "The microscope cabinets of select animated objects" (1832); and "Micrographia ..." (1837). Comparisons with the published item, "Microscopic illustrations ... " show this work to contain some of the original artwork of that particular book

I have been carrying a camera with me for 30 years. I shoot the things in life, where I am. The subjects are usually not beautiful on their own, but somehow strike me by the beauty found in their commonality. Not the extraordinary, but the ordinary. Simple, usually quiet subjects that may go unnoticed. Black and white because I guess that is how I have learned to see. To me, my images feel a bit sad, a bit strange, a bit interesting, and the subjects, somehow unique. I hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting.
