We camp a lot at the lovely Shell Island and have been for the last 12 years. The freedom you feel there is something i cant explain. You enter the island off the causeway and forget everything that’s behind you. Children go back to basics, playing ball, catching crabs, making sand castle and any games we can make out of something around the camp. I love capturing all these moments when we go, from sunset silhouettes to splashing in the sea. All these little memories to look back on in years to come. This is why photographs are so important, its the only thing we have to look back on and show our children and their children. I am in the process of making photobooks of all our adventures as unfortunately our future is becoming a world of digital storage and viewing your images on the nearest phone or laptop. Printing is the only way we can keep some of our past real. There’s nothing better than grabbing a box of photographs from the attic or albums from the dusty shelf and laughing and crying over fond memories.
