Flower Power – a photographic exhibition by blind photographer, Norman Taylor.
15th August – 16th September 2017
Open: Tue – Sat 10am – 5pm
Gracefield Arts Centre, Dumfries
These latest flower pictures have been added to my Flower Power images for an exhibition showing until 16th September at the café gallery in Gracefield Arts Centre, Dumfries.
This collection of images celebrates the place of flowers in our lives, with a study of shapes, colours and textures.
Flowers are linked with our deepest emotions; love, joy, celebration, sorrow and loss.
From my own point of view as a blind photographer, producing these images has involved looking more closely into the intricate patterns in the flowers, experiencing the effects of the light on form and colour.
This summer, I thought i’d give the Shed a rest, and instead turn the lens on some of the more interesting blooms in my garden. Check the ‘Flowers’ page to see the new pictures.
Three years and 1800 images – a selection of the best photographs from a journey through the seasons.

The exhibition was launched in PLACE, the Architecture and Built Environment Centre for Northern Ireland, 40, Fountain St. Belfast on 1st April. It was beyond all my expectations. Invited guests started to arrive from 5pm and it was wonderful to meet some very old friends and family.
About 7pm the Late Night Art tour bus arrived, which is sponsored by Belfast City Council, with a bus load of people to see my exhibition.
I was pleased to meet everyone and to talk about my images and what the shed journey means to me.
Thanks to Amberlea and Conor from the PLACE for making it such a great occasion.

Visit the Belfast Telegraph site to read an extensive article – ‘Shed Load of Art’ by Jamie McDowell. Also featured in the ‘Life’ section of the paper edition…
The article previews the upcoming exhibition which commences on April 1st at PLACE, the Architecture and Built Environment Centre for Northern Ireland, based in Fountain Street, Belfast.
The exhibition was showing in the RNIB Headquarters at Hillside Crescent, Edinburgh in their café gallery during December and January. By all accounts there was a steady flow of visitors throughout, thank-you to all who came my work.
There was also excellent coverage from BBC Scotland TV and radio as well as the double page spread in the national Scottish newspaper The Scotsman. The RNIB magazine Vision also covered it, as well as the RNIB radio station Insight.
Many thanks to all the wonderful RNIB staff especially Mr. Tully who saved the day for us when we were hanging the exhibition.
The Belfast Exhibition launches on Thursday April 1st at PLACE on Fountain Street. More details to follow!
I’m pleased to confirm that my exhibition will be traveling to my birthplace, Belfast!
