Reading Time: 2 minutes…one image every day for an entire year. It is often seen as a kind of rite of passage for a photographer.
In the end I had to abandon this, not because of taking the images, but keeping up with regular editing and uploading proved hard…
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s getting towards the end of the year, and with my birthday and Christmas looming, the day job is done until January. I always like the feel of the Uiversity Campus in winter, the Christmas Tree, the Lights – I thought I’d just bring my …
Reading Time: 8 minutes…photographing a stranger can constitute harassment. In general, harassment requires repetition. There are some cases where it may not – for example if I were to I sneak up behind someone at ground level to capture an ‘upskirt’ this could clearly and rightly be defined as sexual harassment.

Reading Time: 4 minutes‘Don’t do it’, they all say… ‘Shooting a wedding for a fried or family member is a baaaaad idea.’ Of course many photographers would love the chance to jump in and shoot a wedding – for may it is seen as a surefire way to …
Reading Time: 2 minutesPardon? I appreciate this sounds like some utterance one might expect from a frog… Which I guess is fitting as Keroppi is in fact a frog and this relates to a quirky little Keroppi branded camera. I loaded this with Kruidvat 200 film – I …
Reading Time: < 1 minute…one of my images will be featuring in an exhibition at A Month of Sundaes in Marsden, for the Save Butterley Spillway campaign which is trying to prevent Yorkshire Water from destroying this unique piece of Victorian architectural engineering…
Reading Time: 2 minutesAs a photographer, like anything, there is always a possibility that nature will not play ball. I think this rates highly as one of those. The International Space Station actually passes quite frequently and visibly, but this was supposedly a good show, where it would …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA couple of my images featuring on the Programme for this year’s Hyde Park Unity Day… Be There.
