...a plethora of creative nonsense...
A lot of my photography and some of my art practice is very much informed by a study of place and space. Gathering posts on places to go and see.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Somewhere I have been meaning to get to again for some time, is Middleton Railway. This little heritage line, tucked away in the arse-end-of-the-least-salubroious-area of Leeds is actually the oldest surviving railway in the world. Built as a horse drawn waggonway in 1758 to serve …
Reading Time: 4 minutes For the first time in some years the annual seaside trip that Unison provides me was not to the usual Scarborough or Whitby, but the smaller East Yorkshire Town of Bridlington, somewhere I have not been until now. We planned not to take children this …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Inspired, in part, by The High Line in New York there has been discussions about creating similar on Holbeck Viaduct for some years now. So far this has sadly not come to anything, but on a smaller scale the Monk Bridge Viaduct development has started …

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have again been doing less photography recently, and a lot of it has been using my phone. I never thought that I would say this, but it is very convenient and (other than not having an aperture priority setting) covers as much as my …
Reading Time: 3 minutes We went over to York at the weekend, on a very cold and misty morning. I am kicking myself now for not getting my camera out on the journey, just to get reference shots, as the fields alongside the A64 were really inspiring (more on …
Reading Time: 5 minutes I have said for a while I have not done enough photography for a while. The other day needed to travel down to Norfolk for some business needing doing, and being up and awake early had the options of killing time waiting to leave, or …
Reading Time: 2 minutes We stopped off for a quick wander round Kelham Island on the way back from Derbyshire. This is somewhere I have wanted to have a look round for some time, and certainly want to go back and spend a bit more time in. I am …
