...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 2 minutesHaving a new camera, and a big event to play at is perhaps both good and bad. Kirkstall Festival with its very varied mix of sights was a great chance to play, with the Tamron lens, to get in close to the falconry (and the …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been toying with this idea for a while (and have already had a couple of people saying, “about bloody time”). I’ve got the bug here, I’m really enjoying learning properly about photography. So I have bought myself a Canon EOS 1000D with an 18-55mm …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this month’s London extravaganxa I decided to go out a bit further afield and take a trek out to Greenwich and the Docklands. A long time ago I went on a scout trip staying on the Lord Amory and remember a night walk including …
Reading Time: 4 minutesSo this is starting to bring together the ideas I have for my Dissertation, and the reason I bought this little camera last year. In the course of my life in Hyde park, I have been acting the role of ‘researcher participat[ing]’, as Herbert Gans …

Reading Time: 2 minutesI guess if there’s any theme to this it’s more of the idea of looking up at the sky, but really it’s just posting a few good images. I shot the cranes over town the other morning. I loved the way they fade into the …
Reading Time: 3 minutesThis is very exciting. I have been asked to serve on a development user group for some software that we use at work, which is meaning some trips to London over the next year. And very kindly the company has agreed to book my return …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAs, sometimes happens, we found ourselves wandering round Hyde Park at some ungodly hour of the morning, in the crisp, winter frost. I took these and thought I’d just stick them up here.
Reading Time: 1 minuteAfter many years, I have finally got to see The Damned again, at Leeds Irish Centre. They were reallygood, much better than the revisiting the punk days line up of the early 90s, playing plenty of the more psychedelic material. The Irish centre, lit up …
