POPPIT SANDS Michael's long term project is based on a single beach in Wales - Poppit Sands. He photographs the beach many times each year, totalling approx. 600 trips so far. He uses medium format film cameras to record the beach in black and white. The inspiration for the work is based around his interest in finding new ways to see common things. He is quoted as saying that the beach has become a central part of his life. This work has been ongoing for seven years and has been exhibited widely, most recently in a solo show at Beetles & Huxley in London 2014.

"I know of no other landscape that changes so much, so quickly and so regularly as a beach. It is infinite in its possibilities. Why would I ever tire of photographing the infinite?"
