Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is a charity event I shot recently for Elliot’s Footprint – a charity providing support for parents after losing a child. I have decided black tie (or even red tie) events are the most difficult thing to shoot as you usually have black suits …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI found the strangest thing the other day. I’d noticed a wierd sort of egg sac on the window, which I assumed (rightly) was spider eggs, but got the shock of my life when looking at it and it suddenly exploded into motion – obviously …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have been out and about in the clubs again recently with this set from Sunrise at the West Indian Centre. Not a massive amount to say really, other than that I am quite proud of the set I got from here.
Reading Time: 4 minutesThis was quite a walk on a warm Easter Monday. It’s a fair trek up from Todmorden up to the tops, but it is spectacular when you get there. I walked up the tracks to Lumbutts Road, and then up over Hey Head Green. I …
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: 2 minutesI have commented a few times on how business and pleasure don’t mix. That is, if you are trying to do a job, don’t get too pissed. This is something in my nightclub work I can be not very good at. Fortunately this night at …
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis night was quite interesting as a photographer. I felt off all night – my back hurt and I had a dodgy stomach. I’ve managed some quite good shots, but it is interesting that in many of them my detachment from the night comes out …
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother instalment of the place I shoot most – Remedy at Leeds Beaverworks. I only really have half the night from this one and did not take many shots, as I was very tired and slouched about backstage for quite a while. I was also …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSome moody pictures. Just a few little shots from a quick wak round the top of my street after dak It’s always good to remember the images on your doorstep that you have not taken yet.
