ELUTRIATE | Kathleen Donohoe
Elutriate: To purify, separate, or remove by washing. To purify by straining. I am in the back seat of my father's car. I am sitting next to the window. My elbow is digging into the arm rest and I am pressed firmly against the door. No one in my family...
STRÁINSÉAR | Guy Dickinson and Alison Morris
'Salt off the sea whets the blades of four winds. They peel acres of locked rock, pare down a rind of shrivelled ground; bull-noses are chiselled on cliffs.' Seamus Heaney, from ‘Synge on Aran’ No matter the point of origin and regardless of whether one...
THE ITO EXHIBITION | A virtual tour and review by Tom Wilkinson
I came to this exhibition at somewhat of a personal crossroads; a dilemma about whether the pictures in my new body of work are good enough, contemporary enough, challenging enough. There is a lot of expectation for landscape photographers to reach the most far away...
NOTES FROM THE SOUTH WEST | Iain Sarjeant
Having explored Scotland extensively over the years, the South West of Argyll & Bute remained the only large area I’d never visited. Notes from the South West follows a ‘road trip’ through the area over 5 days in 2016. My journey took me southwest to Oban, down...
LOOKING FOR MR BOOTH | Brian David Stevens

MEMORIAL | Chris Friel, an interview by Rob Hudson
If you've ever read an interview with the photographer Chris Friel, as I did (many) when researching this article, you'll soon see there's a remarkable similarity in the answers. And to top that the answers appear acutely modest almost to the point of evasiveness....
A DAY’S JOURNEY INWARD | J.M. Golding
"Passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts" Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust In British English, the word journey often means the most ordinary travel; for example, a commute to work. In contemporary American English, though,...
NON-EXISTENT LANDSCAPES | Al Brydon
These are a series of in phone image blends to create landscapes that don't exist anywhere but here. (First posted on the ITO instagram feed in July 2016 - instagram.com/insidetheoutsidegroup) Unless otherwise stated, all images in this article are © Al...
HYPNAGOGIA | Dan Wood
The term hypnagogia refers to the transitional period between wakefulness and sleep, and it’s this period where I find that unwelcome visions often enter my head, causing anxiety and insomnia. “Transition to and from sleep may be attended by a wide variety of sensory...
YOURS AND MINE | Jacqui Booth
I'm fairly unsentimental about stuff. It takes a lot for me to be moved by a scene - I almost have to remind myself to feel joy in something. For years I carried my worries with me. I carried them to the places I photographed here so I was never really there. My...
