...a plethora of creative nonsense...
All posts on the subject of my photographic practice.
Reading Time: 3 minutesKind of in lieu of any real holiday, what with the impact of the cost of living making us totally boody skint again, we’ve had our annual funded-by-my-trade-union day jaunt to Whitby again. The weather has been decidedly nicer this time around compared to last …
Reading Time: 6 minutesIt’s no secret that my train geekery, particularly classic UK diesels comes out fairly often (hey, I am a bona fide ferroequinologist, don’t ya know), and I am very lucky to have the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway so close. It’s also a good ting …
Reading Time: 2 minutesl have been meaning to go and have a look at the Midland Road Depot for a while, but it has always seemed a bit out of the way for a special trip (Laziness, I know). But when my son had a Rugby day in …

Reading Time: 4 minutesThis is another little post to just report on and remind about the little things that you can do so close to your home. In Leeds we are very lucky to have lots of exciting pockets of beauty in the city, if you can find …
Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter a missing year due to Covid19 it was exciting to get out to light night. I took my 1000D and got a few shots. However I fairly soon went back to my phone as it was easier and actually compared to the over a …
