Luna
Moon full early Saturday morning
25 May 05.25 BST.
Full cloud
13/08/11 23:14
Complete cloud cover. Photo of
street lamp in back lane through blackout
curtains in the bedroom. It’s the peak of the
Perseid shower, with meteor activity between
midnight and dawn. Best viewing around 2am when
the full moon is setting, low in the south to
southwest sky. Hmmm.
Half gone 7.12am the Blockhouse,
-3.5C.
Crescent moon, 3 days old.
Swirl
21/11/10 21:39
Past the Cristal flooring
warehouse, along the Laira. The slop-slop of
grey green water a foot below the top of the
gabions. Read

Scent of warm fruit. 
Cycle
24/08/10 23:37
Fuzzed up: a warm front slowly
dissolves the moon, and the rain starts.
Birch
23/08/10 23:37
High white hole, arms in shadow
outstretched through the birch leaves.
Golden bee
26/07/10 23:35
Up close and steamy today in the lab today, Martin’s
gilded bee has a starring role on the miniature 360
degree stage of the scanning electron microscope. We
‘film’ our prize specimen from different positions,
focusing on her lovely furry face: which, I notice,
is heart-shaped. Read

Burrator
25/07/10 23:59
We take a different path through the wood and find a
clearing among the trees that’s out of the wind.
Perfect for filming and sound recording: the breeze
from the north west is picking up and puffs of light
cloud start blow across. Read

Bloomsday
16/07/10 23:56
Huge gusts wrestling branches,
leaves ripped. Bumble bees hide out the storm in
the thick of the bay tree. Read

Drifting
14/06/10 23:53
Candle wax smoke and the laughter
of student parties. A smooth ginger cat stalks
the walls and corrugated rooftops of sheds and
garages, criss-crossing all the way down the
back gardens to Salisbury Road. Read

Scratchy
14/05/10 23:51
Step out into cool evening blue,
chalk-marked from the northwest. 
Jittery slim crescent 
This one’s for Lesley B x
Smiley
20/03/10 22:40
Walk out the front door and
before my left foot hits the path I look up and
the slim crescent is swinging up over Cobbles
the Clown’s rooftop. A curvy razor smile with
bloody teeth and the bottom lip bee-stung
ultraviolet. Read

Moonwave
27/02/10 22:31
7am hailstorm Plymouth;
earthquake Chile. Little Sainsbury’s carpark 5
o’clock, prickly moist air, smeary sky, the sun
a fizzing lemon bonbon dissolving into a bowl of
grey suds. Read More...
Crescent loop
18/02/10 20:21
Dunes performance: she held the
bowl in both hands and projected the pattern of
light-water onto her body. Read More...
New
17/01/10 20:23
Today’s new moon just before it
slipped behind the rooftops into Beaumont Park;
looking across to the pair of in-fill houses in
May Terrace: the two houses were built to
replace part of the terrace taken out by WWII
bombs. Read More...
Slivery moon
20/12/09 17:16
Turn right along the edge towards Ringmore. Across
the valley to the left Burrator dam, waterfalls made
miniature by distance. My eyes cup the tiny landscape
and hold the view. Three small rough-haired ponies
hide out in the carpark by the cottage; swollen
bellies, chestnut, black and white-brown. Head off
down the lefthand fork, single track towards
Sheepstor village, rivers of ice skidding across the
tarmac as the weight of water squeezes out of the
grass crown of the moor. Auburn bracken crumbled into
crystal green. Read More...
Tate moon
03/12/09 20:34
At Tate Modern to see the AnimateTV programme in the Starr
Auditorium, introduced by Stuart Comer, Tate
Modern Film Curator. A sumptuous setting to see
our Sea Change film Teign Spirit on the big
screen. Read More...
Moony
29/11/09 23:57
Back garden 6 o’clock. Gritty tang of wet coal, a
sodden mess of leaves below the infrared beam. Lift
up my camera and catch the bulgy moon in a veil of
fast clouds spinning across from the north east. A
few specks of cold rain, flickery brown-red iris.

Wet wind
22/11/09 23:45
Up past Burrator and miserable dripping Princetown to
the carpark beyond Merrivale, five rooks hopping and
bobbing in the misty drizzle on the grass. Drive
through the streaming water across the moor to
Hexworthy, the West Dart river running chestnut brown
ripple, coffee chocolate with vanilla foaming veins;
then Venford reservoir where there are waves and the
Victorian road bridge across the dam is flooded. Home
via Holne, Coombe and Buckfastleigh; a fierce wind
gusting, with a proper old-fashioned man in the moon,
a sky-white crescent swinging down to the south west
horizon. Read More...
Wobbly
29/10/09 23:00
AFTER Artist’s residency at Plymouth Arts Centre
Camera handheld at arms length up to the moon through the birch leaves. Traffic, warm, no breeze; faraway mewl of a cat and helicopter drone; a splosh in the pond as a fish scares itself and flips in the water. Read More...
