Over the past year I travelled to Thin Places.

a Celtic term for locations where it is believed 

that the veil between the physical and the spiritual is almost transparent.

 On this journey I often found myself in liminal spaces.

 ‘Liminal’ comes from the Latin ‘limen’, meaning threshold, 

for example where the sky meets the sea.

 

     Working with my camera to create images and only using minimal post production,

 I hope to give others a glimpse of what I found there. 

As I waited, watched, and recorded, 

it was as though each place offered me some kind of a gift. 

 A glimmer of light, a whisper, a fragility, a strength, a power, a presence and often a peace.
