Cable Cars and Eurostars

Cable Cars and Eurostars

Reading Time: 3 minutes For a while, doubtless because Gordon does in one of the Thomas stories, my son has been asking to go to London. Of course the price of travel nowadays kind of precludes this as a random trip but needing to go down to Cambridge for 

Family Weddings

Family Weddings

Reading Time: 2 minutes This time I have not been roped into being a photographer, but who doesn’t love a wedding for a bit of photo action. This as my sisters wedding, so of course a nice family event, and it was nice to get down to Cambridge and 

Far From Home

Far From Home

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have a dreadful confession.  Actually it’s probably not a confession, as it may well have become clear to those who follow anything I do artistically, and also I blame my son. But… I am a train geek. I think the polite term for this

Further adventures in Copyright Infringement

Reading Time: < 1 minutes I am a little torn about whether to post this – I don’t want to create disquiet, or appear like someone who is difficult to work with. But I feel I have to actually protect my rights, and ensure that other people do not run

Wakefield to Dewsbury

Rave and Respect

Reading Time: 5 minutes What upsets me here is that what has been gained from this? An charity event has lost a set of images which I provided to them pro-bono to help them as a crew and promote the work they did. I will obviously not be shooting their events again, as it seems internal politics have led to a situation where members of the promotional team do not know what other members have agreed, and I don’t really want to be working in that situation. One less club on the list for me, one less photographer on the list for them. The DJ himself has lost the use of the image he wanted to use in the first place and the possibility of some future collaboration. Because of nothing more than a kickback about giving proper credit.

And that helps the music scene how?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Reading Time: 3 minutes And so, again, it is new years eve. for those who know me, it’s been a bit of a difficult year, with quite a few things going on. As photographers, we capture memories. And here are a few of mine that have been captured alongside my 

Floods!

Floods!

Reading Time: 3 minutes Just a quick one. We have some pretty impressive flooding going on in Meanwood at the moment. I have braved the rain to get these shots.

Coca Cola Truck

Coca Cola Truck

Reading Time: 2 minutes One thing about having a young child is that you can shamelessly indulge in things you may otherwise not. Such as when the Coca Cola truck came to Leeds for Christmas, on his 4th Birthday.
