Black and white monochrome photograph taken at night showing a wall with Del Boy from Only Fools and Horses painted using stencil, in the distance is a block of flats which was used in the filming of the sitcom. This is a medium format 120 photograph, printed in the darkroom.

The start to the year has been so busy there's not been time to really get out into my landscape (50 days of rain didn't help either).

My Valleys work is as much autobiographical as it is about people and place; about my love for exploration and the places I find in the Valleys

The original Ju-on:The Curse (2000) is great, lower budget but very disturbing!

Deborah Parkin Photography I have recently revisited this body of work that I call 'Home.'  I haven't really shared it as I was never quite happy with it - the film ...

I have just written a blog about this body of work that I call 'Home'. If you have a spare moment to read it, I would be extremely grateful. Many thanks in advance.🖤

Trying not to wang on about this too much, but Changing Landscapes (my second zine) is available for £10 including (UK) postage. It contains many awesome ruins of houses, former industrial sites, abandoned vehicles... it's even got some sheep.
