June:Earlier this month we had the pleasure of meeting John Dixon of Clitheroe, Lancashire.
It was actually Johns son, Iain, who commissioned us to photograph Johns beautifully crafted clock cabinets.
A wheelwright by trade, John has spent much of his working life as a welder and fabricator but has always maintained a wide interest in craftsmanship of local people.
John's interest in clocks stems from a extremely rare longcase clock, by John Grundy of Whalley, which has been handed down the family from generation to generation. The ongoing restoration of this and other clocks led John to begin making his own cases and culminated in a joint collaboration with engineer Chris Wilkinson in the production of two identical longcase clocks designed and built entirely in Clitheroe.
We photographed just a small selection of John's work. These objects are lovingly produced for himself, his family and friends. A nice guy and a real old-style craftsman.

May:This is our new friend little Daniel. One of our better-behaved clients and technically the youngest model we’ve photographed as he wasn’t due for another week! He arrived on 10th April (or Nisan 14th), the Jewish Passover and also the Memorial of Jesus Christ so he’s doubly special. He was born at 8:08am and weighed 5lb 12oz.
We especially like this image because it emphasises how small he is at just two weeks old.
We caught up with him again recently and he's doing just fine.
