Hi Kyle, those images are very well thought out and compositionally lovely! I am going through a similar process but how do you handle not being overwhelmed by a bloated Lightroom catalogue? That's my quandary. Thank you for sharing this.
Really excited to see where this project takes you. It's always interesting to see interesting perspectives of Britain, as I'm from here, it's hard to look past the familiarity of the everyday, so to see your slant on it is fascinating.
Thanks, Mark. The UK is becoming quite familiar to me as well, at least it feels that way. But I find images take on a different life as they age. I feel like that’s whats happened here for me.
Thanks Kyle. I believe that it is really very difficult to invent something new, and those who succeed are truly talented... that being said, being inspired by those who have already traveled certain photographic paths is definitely a great way to find your own path or your next photographic project. Some works may not suggest much to us (even if they are excellent works), while others might ignite that spark that aligns more with our sensitivity and from which a new project could start.
Being from the North East of England, the idea of you even considering A British Mile is very exciting. The first book is one of my favourites. Next July I’ll be driving from Tx to LA, and I hope to capture some of those beautiful landscapes myself.
Loving the updates here. Also great to hear you’re enjoying the Mam7ii
Finally a Mamiya 7 on your hands. Can’t wait to hear more.
And about projects it’s true, the more you keep on it the more you develop a vision and a theme.
I usually go for project with a theme before actually shooting pictures. But then I find myself with different options and it feels great to rearrange everything if needed. Endless possibilities when creativity kicks in.
Should be an interesting project and one that I'm excited to see develop. I grew up in the UK and moved to US back in 2003. Last year I hit that invisible line that many immigrants reach where they have started to accumulate more years in their adoptive home than the the place they grew up as a kid. It got me thinking about how I view my birthplace the same as I did 20 years ago and that any time I go back to see family its like seeing it for the first time yet with a strange underlying familiarity.

I have yet to figure that one out, Juliette. My best approach is to use collections for projects. But still, it always gets out of hand!

Gorgeous work as always, Kyle, and it's so interesting that your style looks so very different in Britain, yet still very intentional and polished.
Thanks, Adrian. Just rolling with what feels right. Definitely a different landscape here, in need of a different approach.
Stunning photos!! So glad I stumbled into your work. 🤩

Just ordered my copy of AAM. Btw, being on the West Coast US, my Monday mornings just got better. Cheers
Thanks for grabbing a copy, Micheal!
Excited about this follow up!

Cheers, Raymond. TX to LA is full of great areas. So much to photograph out there!

I’ve loved the Mamiya, even though I’m not a huge rangefinder fan. The size is so nice!
