John Atkinson Grimshaw, 1836-1893


Another murky and dark artist here.

John Atkinson Grimshaw found himself out at night quite a bit, doing moonlit shots.

Even in the daylight he appeared to prefer the darks of autumn and muted tones of dusk.

Old Brown Paper.

I have love of the oddities, doors, windows, textures etc and am used to the strange looks I get when taking a photo of a wall, the grass, a road or a something I find interesting. Some of those images end up here and so on this site you will find an odd collection of textures, backgrounds and photos. Essentially stuff that has taken my interest at various points.
 So says Phil, at myfreetextures.com.

I do actually find these a bit enchanting, even if it is a quirky taste. I suspect these will find their way into projects at the Colorado Institute of Historical Geography.
