Thoughts on photography and other things by Jeremy Moore.
Support a local photographer…..
As many of you will know, I have been publishing the Wild Wales/Cymru Wyllt range of postcards for over thirty years. Yes! People still do buy them! At an age when most sensible people would be putting their feet up, I might as well continue to fulfil that demand. Little by little I am reducing the level of stock that I hold and to this end my print run is shorter every year. So to counteract this trend, in 2019 I have published an extraordinary fifteen brand new designs – probably more in a single year than at any time in the past. It is thanks to the staff at Gomer Press that I am able to do this at an economical price, and with such exceptional quality. Images suitable for postcards may not require the greatest levels of creativity but they are still a challenge and they keep me on my toes.
So, enjoy these images – and when you go away this year, buy a few postcards at your destination and support a local photographer!

I think it takes a lot of creativity to capture an interesting version of a place that might have been photographed a lot before, which you seem to have done!
Thanks for the comment, Andrea. I like to think that too, but those involved in photography tend to sneer at “picture-postcard landscapes”. On principle…….

Not all of us sneer, Jeremy! Great to see a fresh set of postcards, though I still miss your calendars. 😦
Hi Simon,
Thanks for the comment! Yes, it’s a real shame about the calendar.
