Much of my photography looks at common
mythology from culures
around the world, how we imagine the past and
the connections we feel.
How nature speaks to us with its poetic resonance. I've no
voice, my camera is the seeing eye and the poetry of others is
my guide. The discovery that a
poet from another age and culture talked of nature
in the same way as it made me feel, led to a connection
however tenuous it might seem at first.
The images that were made on the Dochart
river below my home in Highland Perthshire have been called
Kimono, 'the leaves and grass wrap the river', a
protection against the perils within.

Douglas McBride Photographer
Scotland
"This photographer is a hunter, a seeker after signs. Every day he surprises warriors and monsters and wee folk; and especially hints of his own past to which only he is party. It is work full of seductive images you can interpret as you will but which ultimately are the private property of their maker. Here is someone who may be indulging in 'phototherapy' but who is creating photographs which have a universal appeal as, dare we say, beautiful objects." Joe Mulholland.Glasgow.
