Category Roam

This is not roaming in the sense of travelling, although travel may come in here! In the end this is a blog, nothing important. I will sometimes talk about different subjects in it. I am not sure what these are and whether I will talk about them consistently.

Swifts

Back to the Gallery

I used to spend a lot of time in galleries. It was nothing exceptional to go and spend a full day just wandering around a gallery and taking in the images, interpreting them in my own way. When I first…
