All posts on the subject of my photographic practice.
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s Carnival Time again. Leeds West Indian Carnival takes place every year in Chapeltown on Potternewton Park. It’s great, there’s not a lot really more to say. Here’s some shots from The Black Music Festival on Sunday night. And here’s some from the Parade on …
Reading Time: 2 minutesChild free this year I managed a decent amount of photography at this year’s Unity Day. As ever it was a good event with lots of varied things to see and some awesome music.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI have recently become embroiled in a bit of a discussion on a certain facebook group. I am not going to say which one, but I am going to show a couple of examples of the issues I will talk about. I believe I may …

Reading Time: 2 minutesI have visited Saltaire a few times, but never until now known about the little tramway up to Shipley Glen – this dates from 1895 and operates narrow guage cable hauled trams. It is a lovely ride up through the woods. Up at the top …

Reading Time: < 1 minuteEvery now and again you have things in life which do your head in. You love them and hate them at the same measure. I am not talking about family here – this tune is something that has been knocking about for a while, in …
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother 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 …
