...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Occasional posts on other matters, or those of interest to people less interested in specific creative endeavours
Reading Time: 2 minutesI am not sure where this small obsession with Freightliners came from. I blame my son, and also they are very smartly liveried. If you like them we are lucky to have the maintanance depot in Leeds out on the Hallam Line to Wakefield Westgate …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have needed to travel to Worksop recently, and of course took my camera. Always liking a bit of Brutalism, a chance to take some shots of Park Hill and the arears around the station. On the station I got a great shot of this …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have completed various photoshoots round Kirkstall, around the river and canal. It’s an interesting place, with a lot of industrial remnants.

Reading Time: 4 minutesI was asked by work to attend a meeting in York the other day – so with my best bargaining head on I agreed to this if I could have the rest of the day off, as York in the run up to Christmas is …
Reading Time: 3 minutesHaving lived in Meanwood (for the second time, and for a few years now) the woods are a constant source of pleasure and inspiration, though I never seem to get up into them as much as I would like. These are a couple of sets …
