The Christmas Tree Arrives November 27th 2022 Caistor © Stewart Wall, 2022

Christmas coming soon
a smiling community
the market square breaths


The annual Caistor Christmas tree is put up every year by community volunteers, it is always a great morning. As the team work the conversations are always interesting, and one this year proved something that always surprises me, and that is how many connections humans have with each other….as I took photographs someone asked if my camera was a Leica, but I said no, it was a Fuji. He said he has the ver first verson of the Fuji 100, and had owned it for a decade, he said it was a very robust camera. He said he was visiting from Saltaire for the weekend, and that he had grown up in Caistor. I said how much I loved Saltaire and how in 2016 I exhibited the Park Hill project at the Artist’s Trail there. He lives in the same road I exhibited in. I mentioned I grew up in Chelmsford and he said he knew the place well because his mother had grown up there, and it turned out his mother’s sister was the same age as myself and it is likely we were at the same school as each other. His name was Finn and he is in the orange jacket above.

Images taken on Fuji X100V



In a haiku world a ginko is a walk through nature observing

and as I ginko I make images of the things I notice

I then write a haiku in a moment as a response the images I make, that makes me stop to think

Finally I blog here about what the image and haiku make me think about
