Creative Freedom with the John Muir Trust

Calling writers, photographers, and artists! The John Muir Trust are asking for artists to submit their creative vision for wild places to be considered for their Creative Freedom exhibition. How does 'freedom for wild places' inspire you creatively? What is your creative response to the call of the wild places in our landscape? Submit your interpretation of freedom for wild places and you could win an artist-in-residency opportunity worth £1500. Entries close on Thursday the 30th of November.

More from the John Muir Trust about the competition:

Everyone experiences wild places in different ways; they connect with them and see them in a unique way.
As we celebrate 40 years of caring for wild places, we look to the future and wonder how our connection with wildness will change. We wonder what 'freedom for wild places' means to people from different perspectives.
To celebrate this diversity of creative visions of wild places from those who care most passionately about them, we have the following categories: writing, photography, 2D and 3D artworks, and multimedia creations. There are adult, junior and group categories, and we are encouraging entries in all languages.

This is not an ad; I'm a Trust member and believe in the work they do. I'd have entered this myself if I'd had the time!

I've just finished a batch of scanning, so thought I'd pop up a photo post to follow up from this entry a couple of weeks back. In that post I spoke a bit about my approach to photo note-taking. I also shared some iPhone pictures. Today

Something I should have done years ago: ALCS (plus nebulous thoughts about writing as a lifelong vocation)

After years of telling myself 'I should really register for ALCS this year', I've finally managed to motivate myself to do it before the deadline (just). It's been an interesting exercise to see everything I've published since 2021 all in one place.

What survives in the record: a Glen Coe hill day from 15 years ago today

Every now and again, I dip into my Lightroom library and journals, curious to see what I was doing 10, 15, or 20 years ago on this day. On the 6th of April, 2009, my brother James had just arrived in Glen Coe and was keen to experience these mountains
