I started taking photos in 2009. before that i wasn’t interested in photography at all.
i was a victim of crime (at the time) and needed to get evidence for police. my mobile phone took crap photos so i bought a cheap point and shoot camera.
i soon discovered that i enjoyed it and had a flare for it as well.
i’m mostly and urban photographer, but will take photos of pretty much anything.
it was all colour in the beginning, then started to notice the b&w photos on flickr.
the change from colour to b&w was a bit of a shock to my flickr friends so i decided to follow Mobius Faith on wordpress and start a ‘black and white’ photography blog.
i have a sense of humour and enjoy a joke and a larf.
i welcome feedback, as i don’t take myself seriously.
hope you see something you like.

Gavin: It’s my honor to let you you know that I’ve nominated you for “ONE LOVELY BLOG AWARD”. See:

for the next steps!
Wow….Thank you so much David.
I’m excited.
Gavin.
Hi Gavin,
Calling sedge808.wordpress.com a B&W blog is quite a misnomer if not misleading. To SoundEagle’s acute sense and sensibility, it is far from just black and white or monochrome; it is many shades of grey, and many grades of light and dark(ness). SoundEagle likes the shadiness and ambiguity in your photos and subjects, and the dance of shadows and/in twilight.
Thanks so much.
Gavin.
I am glad I discovered your blog. Very nice work. I am a digital artist. Stop by when you have a moment.
Walter
Coming over now to view your blog.
Gavin.
No info in about? Mysterious?
Thanks for pointing this out. (I thought I’d fixed it, but no)
I will fix now.
Thank you. Gavin.
That’s a unique “how I got into photography” story!
Thanks becca3416.
I’m glad I’m here, as I enjoy it so much.
Gavin.
I LOVE B&W’s! K…I’m going to poke around your blog some more…cheers!
Thanks so much.
Cheers, Gavin.

Thanks very much.
An honour.
Gavin.
A pleasure. 🙂
Hey, Gavin–I’ve been following you for a while and truly enjoy the shadows and b&w you do. Just came by to look (because I hadn’t seen anything for a while) and apparently I am not getting publication notices via email. I’ll “unfollow” you, then”follow” again to see if that helps. Don’t want to miss any of the good stuff!.
Patricia
Thanks Patrica.
Well, you’ve done an amazing job, if you only started photography in 2009! You had a hidden talent you didn’t know about! Most people do, and it takes a long time to discover them sometimes, because the garbage of life can prevent it all from coming out! I’ve really enjoyed your photography Gavin, and will return again soon!
Suzy 😀
Thanks Suzy.
Cheers, Gavin.
de très belles photos chez vous!
Thank you so much.
Gavin.
nice to see you here!

Hi Gavin, I have nominated you for the Sunshine Award and “I am part of the WordPress Family Award” You’re the first person I’ve contacted. I’m not clear what’s next. I’ll get it together tomorrow, I know I need to send you a copy of the nomination but I’m having trouble with how to copy the award image over. I love your perspective on B&W photography. Maybe one day for me.
Wow.
Thank you.
I am honoured.
I love awards. they are so exciting.
(can be lots of work, but worth it).
Cheers, Gavin.
I know I’m so far behind in getting these out. I love them to and hope to earn everyone out there. If my writing is that good it will happen. It’s funny you sent me a comment as I pushed send button on your nomination. You deserve both and they will look very nice on the wall with your others.I’ll get back to you once I know what the hell I’m doing. XO
OK.
Thanks again.
Gav.
Hello there I am here to thank you that you liked my post ” Love of Mother” . Please visit again, your opinion and comments are valuable for me.
May Allah bless you and your loved ones, ameen
Thank you.
Gavin.
You are welcome Gavin 🙂
Gavin,
I have been coming and reading your posts here for a little while now, anonymously, without joining the place. Thank you for being you and sharing so openly. I just had to let you know what an inspiration you have been to me and my photographic progression. You have helped give me strength to actually believe in myself and my own journey of mental health healing, through the many expressions of frustration and otherwise that you have shared with us all.
Kudos to you, Gavin.
Alex
Thank you Alex.
Small world! Glad I found you here. :0)
Thank you.
Meriti molti premi!!!

Really great stuff in here. I too am having a love affair with digital black and white, although it isn’t an exclusive relationship. 🙂 May I ask if you use Adobe for your B&W processing? – Cheers

Yes. I use lightroom 5.
Thank you.
By lucky chance I came across your site, pleased to meet you.
