After an enlightening evening with a new and inspiring friend, Kate Dixon, I was unable to sleep as my brain felt as though it was on a magical journey into all that interests me about life – the why’s what for’s and the endless inquiry I have to search for deeper meaning. At about 3:35 a.m after about four hours of semi-conscious consideration of...

I’ve never really understood the prejudice about cosmetic surgery, or why when someone famous decides to have something done, the Media slates them so much you’d think they’d kidnapped a Royal Corgi! Where did this prejudice come from? Perhaps because of those who’ve taken the former title of Plastic surgery too far and the plastic look is not a...

The weather is driving me nuts, but I’m thankful I don’t have to use a boat to get around like many people living in Somerset at the moment. Today has been pure bliss to get out, have some sun on my face and use the camera again. I have been busy with the marketing side of things since the website was done and now have some unlimited edition prints available...

Boxers are highly intelligent, exceedingly loyal, delightful dogs and I adore Pugwash, probably more than any other dog I’ve had, which is just as well, as he’s been the most costly! He is utterly beautiful to look at and everyone comments so and it’s not surprising as his Grandad won Best of Breed at Crufts. Unfortunately although the outside looks like Brad Pitt in...

In preparation and launch of this website, I have been tasked with writing a couple more blogs to get things going, but I’m suffering from bloggers lock and a bit of a conundrum. You see, I have blogged about losing weight on another site that I have and on my laptop I’ve written lots of things about life. The trouble is the stuff I write about life, society, the human...

Although this is a photographic art site, there’s really not a huge amount I can blog about on the subject, I just get on and do it. For that reason, my intention is to have a blog about absolutely anything that I want to jot a few words down about. So you’re likely to see anything here, from remarks about Ted Talks, Existentialism, to the joys of living with a Boxer...

Fiona Mackenzie-Spence’s work is often a little bizarre, certainly wacky and unusual, in that she’s not looking for perfection from the photographer’s point of view, but from the eye of an artist. “I use the camera and technology as my media in which to create my images, but I don’t call myself a photographer, because I know far too little about the technicalities of photography and cameras – it’s on my to do list”!
Although photography has always been something of a hobby, the introduction of Fine Art into Fiona’s life began in the early 1980’s when she was involved romantically with a student at Maidenhead College of Art & Design. The result was a four year relationship and a great deal of time spent with him on London outings in the Cork Street Galleries and The Tate ...
