After several years in the photographic wilderness while my attention was elsewhere, I am now regaining my interest in photography. Unfortunately this site is very labour-intensive to maintain, so my new galleries (including a new subject for me: Birds) are on a professional photo-hosting site here:

At the same time I am introducing a photo Blog here on my Images from Nature site.

My new gallery site. PaulCPhotography.com is hosted by SmugMug. SmugMug offers many advantages, including:

• much easier to maintain (all I have to do is upload and organize my photos, someone else looks after the clever behind-the-scenes stuff - this will hopefully encourage me to keep the site updated regularly!);
  
  
• easier navigation and photo viewing options that are way better than anything I could program myself;
  
  
• a fully operational online store where you can buy prints, posters and other merchandise based on my pictures.

SmugMug does not offer facilities for blogging, or indeed any primarily text-based pages, so those aspects will remain here. Images from Nature will therefore become more of an informational site about my photography.

Please visit the new site and leave a message to let me know what you think. See you there!

Photography provides us with the means to do all of these things, in a way that is accessible to young and old, fit and infirmed, enabling us to visit, at least in our minds, the beauty that we might otherwise never see.
