Edwin Smith was in my opinion the finest garden photographer who has ever lived. His ability to capture the spirit of a place or its simple beauty was exceptional and unbelievable almost always in black and white. Of all the photographers I know he has been the most influential on me. He has both inspired and entertained with all his work. Everything here is a tribute to his work and its impact on me.

Fallen Flowers
The first day of summer and already, they begin to fade and fall.
Allium
The attractive spherical nature of these flowers always makes them a favourite subject.
Poppies
In bright sunshine they just scream 'look at me'.
A Yellow Rose
The rose, an emblem of love and an enigmatic symbol of beauty.
