In June last year a good friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. This sensitive and challenging photographic project is in response to her story. My aim is to try and express thoughts and emotions through a combination of text and the Derbyshire landscape.

What I do to while away a Saturday afternoon.

I have never tried embossing before, but that's what this programme is encouraging me to do, experiment. After dry embossing on card, I decided to try it out using the computer and one of my photographs! My first attempt is not brilliant I know, a bit rough around the edges, but still quite an achievement for me!

Take a look in my image album ' experimenting with embossing'. You will need to look closely as it's quite dark I am afraid, but in some ways I like that, having to look deeper into the fragility of the image, as it just starts to appear on what otherwise is seemingly no more than a blank canvas, and yet it is a photograph. Interesting...

I will need to practice of course and will hopefully add more images as I progress.
