How Many Many Things They Call To Mind was taken on Argyle Street in Helensburgh, Scotland on the 22nd April 2019 at 12.01 pm.

From the series ‘Aphantasia’: work created with a view to capturing those moments when we catch our breath in awe at the sheer beauty we see before us, moments which, for those whose thoughts and memories have no visual element can never be seen again in the mind’s eye, unless with the aid of a photograph.

There is but a short time to enjoy the cherry blossom before the petals start to fall and the glorious sight of streets lined with these perfect pink puffs fades. Sakura is the Japanese word for the cherry blossoms. It has its roots in a word that mean both bloom, and smile or laugh. The pictogram for this word incorporates a symbol for an open mouth which is rather what I was doing when I took this - delighted at the sight in front of me, knowing that the only way to return to it was with this photograph.
