One photo every week in Autumn. Starting today at the Autumn equinox. It is often unclear when one season ends an another begins. This assignment will map the map the transition from the most fabulous summer in recent memory to deepest winter, here in North Devon. Undoubtedly there will be photos of mists, moss and […]

Just a few pictures of the hottest week of the year so far, including the ones the BBC wanted to use “for a credit”; no bitching about the – lack of surf, the state of (surf) photography, the sticky nights(!), the overcrowding, the abysmal driving skills of the visitors, the litter, the dog poo or […]

Last year I took a photo every day in June and called it the June Projeck (https://esterspears.com/2013/06/01/june-project/) . This year I took 100 photos on one magical night.. The sunset over two of my favourite places; Lundy island & Morte Point, then the moonrise over my street at home & then moonset over Baggy point […]

One of the pleasures of living on the coast is that you can go fishing when the surf is flat. How some people can say that they dont like fish is beyond me, they are cute, cuddly and taste great. Normally I fish off the rocks, which usually combines a nice evening stroll and […]

There’s been a real spring-like feeling in the air, it’s gone flat (and the Magnolia are in bud) which is a sign that summer is just around the corner! Here’s a poem about how wonderful it is to be a surfer in summertime (which is our natural state I think). […]

I’ve been editing my new book ‘The Essential Contentment of Futile Wanderings’ and wanted a nice sunset for the back page or near the end of the booklet. Generally I am not a big fan of ‘sunset’ shots as I find them a bit clichéd, same-y and they never seem to live up to the […]
