A 'Thin Place' was a term used by the early Celtic Christians to describe a place where they sensed the veil between earth and heaven was so thin that they were virtually fused together. Two such places in the 7th and later centuries were the islands of Iona, Scotland and Lindisfarne (Holy Island), Northumberland.
This project was a personal journey to walk in the footsteps of St Aidan and St Cuthbert - both synonymous with these two 'thin places' in those early years - and attempt to experience the energy which resides and still makes these holy places.
The first visit was to Lindisfarne in June 2017 and I decided to use my panoramic pinhole camera to capture a more ethereal quality to the images and reflect on the spirituality of the place. The second visit was to Iona in May 2023, again using my panoramic pinhole camera.
The images are available as a set of devotional cards in presentation box at £25 as well as prints - either printed on A4 (£15) or A3 (£20) matt archival paper plus postage. Please contact me if you are interested.
(For the technically minded I used a Vermeer Panoramic pinhole camera with Ilford Delta 100 120 film)
