Over on my Andy Beck Photography website I have been uploading a selection of my best images from each month of 2020. Today I have just added the portfolio for the month of July, a mixed bag of images, from landscapes under stormy skies to close encounters with wildlife. Why…
It has to be said that I love finding out the fine details about that famous guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright. I don’t go into his publishing or personal life, I leave that to my good friend Chris Butterfield who over the past few years has uncovered some fascinating and long…
