The Right Attitude
From Tony Bartholemew's study window, he can see the sea. On the other side of the house, the moor stretches away over northern England. Sandwiched between open expanses of water and land, it's not surprising he's a little obsessed with weather.
It could have gone the other way: During one of his first jobs as a junior, he failed to notice a snow-covered lake, until he and his camera were in it. But he kept his job, and he wasn't deterred. "We get extremes of weather here," he says from his Scarborough home, and with his perfect view and some expertise, he can see all fronts coming in across the ocean.
He's learned to notice when the wind's blowing in a certain direction, and if he sticks it out long enough, he might get a Great Wave picture, like the one of three Scarborough girls (right) last year, which pleased several nationals.
Bartholomew likes nothing better than a cold and windy walk along clifftops, but he does sunshine too, or "a packed beach full of pink people," as he calls his summer seaside shots. But the picture editors probably prefer the wild times too. "They're stuck behind a desk down south. I think they like to imagine the wild outdoors up north. National newspapers are as obsessed by the weather as everyone else, even if they don't know it."
