Simon Denison – Quarry Land

Disused Railway line with car Tyre, copyright Simon Denison

Simon Denison is a British urban landscape photographer who has helped shape my understanding and some of my hard to characterize feelings (remember, I’m a guy) about my series Bad Trip – Sad Trip (Update: series subsequently published by LensWork as In Passing)

A quote from the Introduction of his book, Quarry Land: Evoking a sense of the transience of things mortal and made-made, these black-and-white images of a single scarred English landscape are local in scope but universal in what they represent. Quiet and contemplative in style, there are charged with the brevity and facility of human life.

I am elated to have purchased this book.

Best regards,

Doug

Note: you should see a much improved version of Simon’s image now.  Simon has just sent me a correctly sized jpg for this post.  When I attempt a web image capture, many of the photographs that are posted are about half the size I would like to display (750 pixel wide), which I try some upsizing tricks on these, sometimes not successfully. Second, I do try to get the image titles right, and I should have done a much better job. So I am not going to apply for any Editor type jobs soon and stick to photography ;- )

Simon, thanks for the image file and my apologies for not getting the title correct.
