Your host in front of the Cathedral of St James in Santiago de Compostela

Hi, I am Halford.

I am a scientist, research skills trainer, writer, photographer and  priest.

I maintain a number of resources online relating to my interests:

The Human Scientist: Soft Skills for Hard Science:

I help scientists, academics and other insatiably curious people explore and develop our professional and personal selves in a way that celebrates our professional and intellectual commitments, but also delights in poetry and mystery.

Christian Ministry

I serve as a priest in an Independent Catholic jurisdiction, the White Robed Monks of St Benedict, and practice a sacramental and pastoral ministry for all those who seek it, in particular those who have challenges in their relationship to the institutional church.

Slow Photography

Everything old is new again.  I love to use traditional, analog photographic techniques and hybrid analog-digital workflows to tell modern stories about our place in the world.
