...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: < 1 minutes This is a red belgian style ale, with a bit of added rye for a spicy twist. Assuming a conservative 50% home brew-house efficiency this should hit an OG of about 1058, a final gavity of about 1012 and an ABV of 6%. Anything more …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Another dose of clubbing shots from my regular haunt Remedy at Beaverworks in Leeds. I have played about with some zoom burst effects recently, and as always using my long shutter speeds for full psychedelic effect… This was an interesting night – the planned event …
Reading Time: 2 minutes In the wake of Britain’s nearly total solar eclipse The Guardian published a set of disappointing pictures from their roof which was shrouded in thick white smog and cloud. While not a total washout, certainly the eclipse in Leeds was not what we had all …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have commented a few times on how business and pleasure don’t mix. That is, if you are trying to do a job, don’t get too pissed. This is something in my nightclub work I can be not very good at. Fortunately this night at …
Reading Time: 2 minutes This night was quite interesting as a photographer. I felt off all night – my back hurt and I had a dodgy stomach. I’ve managed some quite good shots, but it is interesting that in many of them my detachment from the night comes out …

Reading Time: < 1 minutes Some moody pictures. Just a few little shots from a quick wak round the top of my street after dak It’s always good to remember the images on your doorstep that you have not taken yet.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Every year, Beaver Works which is one of the venues I shoot at regularly, hosts a ‘Mad Friday’ party, bringing together many of the events which take place there throughout the year. This year the event fell on my birthday, so I had to go, …
Reading Time: 2 minutes This was an interesting and challenging night. It’s a new night at Beaverworks, where I often shoot and had the interesting set up of a Metal and Alternative night (with live bands) at the top, and a techno night in the basement. There is actually …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes I was very excited to find out that Senser recently opened up a remix contest for their track ‘Age of Panic’ – this is one my favourite tracks from one of my favourite bands – I had been thinking about how to get some of their samples …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I went for a little walk up in the woodland of Meanwood park the other day, and decided to limit myself to my Canon 1000D and a simple 50mm prime lens. I did a few portraits of my family, but also had a little play …
