The following images represent a selection of photographic work which should be looked at in conjunction with the poetry from my third book -
Sawing Fallen Logs For Ladybird Houses, 2011.
‘The original intention was to have the images and poetry side by side in one volume but due to the reluctance of any of the Welsh publishing houses to take the project any further I was forced to produce the book without images (due to high printing costs) and display the images online instead. Ah, well, so much for Welsh book publishers, grants & bursaries, guess they happen to other people.’

Small exhibition coming soon… Pontypridd Library, Feb onwards…
Oh, your photos are beautiful! Of the above I think the photo accompanying the poem ‘Terminal’ is my favorite, although Sandy looks like a faithful old friend. I wish I could attend your exhibition but as I am in Texas and you are in Wales…
I’ve followed you back from your like on one of my poems -thank you!
Thanks very much, the Marrakech image relates to the poem here: http://djlewis1966.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/poem-marrakech/ and I’ve also added a new image here: http://djlewis1966.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/djemma-el-fna/
