Beautiful work Gill. Going out to find an image that conveys a particular feeling is the complete opposite to how I work - I think most landscape photographers find a scene and then see what they feel. I can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much James. It has been a good challenge as it isn't the way I normally photograph either, but I am quite pleased with some of the results.
Love your rendering of the birds in flight and your thoughts on processing to tell a story of lost wildlife .. thanks for sharing and I look forward to the finished project ..
Thank you so much Nigel, I am glad you enjoyed it. That image was something I hadn't experimented with before so I wasn't confident, but it has been a fun challenge.
Curiosity and obsession; I know them well. It sounds as if you have made good progress with images for your words, and it will be fascinating to see what you each come up with, and what new discoveries or learning your words prompt.
This is an amazing project Gill and your first images here are beautiful. Your treatment of each one fits perfectly with the word associated to it, particularly Fragile – a masterpiece in my eyes! Perhaps the project could be expanded as a nationwide one, with groups of photographers gathering together in each area to create their own connections and record the impact of climate change - just a thought.
As for the sea kale – we had an abundance of it here (I included some images in my last post on Place Blindness) and fortunately no Muntjac deer…the sea kale is very edible especially the early purple shoots so that was probably a tasty feast for them. The impact of climate in these instances is worrying though...
Thank you so much for your comments Lin and I love the idea of expanding this into a national project. I wish I had slightly better organisational skills but it is definitely something I will think about.
Great idea for the project Gill, enjoyed the read. I can relate to all those words through photography. Thanks for posting. Look forward to seeing more.
I’m fascinated with the way you incorporate the words as prompts for photos. The idea of the white inverted images of the geese to represent those lost is incredibly creative and striking!!
Thank you very much Erik. It was fun to experiment. I wasn't sure at the start about using an inverted image but I think it helps to convey the concept of fragile better than a single image can.

Thank you so much Michela, I am really enjoying the challenge at the moment.

Keep us posted - I'm sure that many more photographers would be interested! In the meantime I'm looking forward to seeing the book.
Beautiful images.
Thank you very much 🙂

I think an unconventional attempt like this is incredibly valuable! The concept is golden!
Thank you 🙂
Gill, I am pleased you have found a plausible explanation for the missing sea kale flowers.
Yes, it's good to have an answer, but it still seems amazing to me that so many plants have been eaten.
Luckily the perpetrators haven’t visited Sizewell. Otherwise we would have been stuck a week last Wednesday 😂.
Gill, a very interesting read, and as usual fine images!
Thank you very much Chris, I am glad you enjoyed it.
