Photocamp
Reading Time: 3 minutes…and some amazing parafunctional spaces which we used for model shoots, workshops and just making pictures of what we found.
I will post some more of the specific work I produced this weekend later…
...a plethora of creative nonsense...

Le Grand Depart
Reading Time: 2 minutes…so Le Grand Depart on my doorstep was always going to be something I’d take a look at.
But a bit of a challenge it was, as I had the small toddler in tow…
More Waterfront Adventures
Reading Time: 2 minutes…long term project to shoot the canal network in West Yorkshire. Some of this I manage to do with the toddler in tow, as these in Wakefield, where there is also a lovely play park outside the Hepworth Gallery.
I will be making these into a book some time. What is interesting is the differences in my editing style …
Temple Works
Reading Time: 2 minutes…designed by Joseph Bonomi the Younger and built by John Marshall between 1836 and 1840, it boasts a two acre main space, and apparently is pretty unique (at least for the time) in that it is held up under both compression and tension.
On the tour, in the main room we we hard-hatted and required to walk to a ‘safe area’ without stopping, just in case anything fell…
Through Moving Windows
Reading Time: 3 minutesI spend a lot of time travelling on busses and trains. Looking out of the windows provides a unique view of the surroundings which is detached and dispassionate, a different reality. You see places that you may walk through on different days, or that you …
365
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…
Cold Winter Campus all lit up
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 …
Shooting Strangers
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. But the defining factor here is that the person concerned would have an expectation that, although they are in public, the public do not have a reasonable right to take picture of their gusset…
Autumn Orange
Reading Time: 3 minutesI thought I would just post this pretty extensive set, taken from a recent walk up the top end of Meanwood Woods a few days ago. For early November, the amount of green still present, and the warth of the light was pretty spectacular, showing …
Photocamp 2013
Reading Time: 6 minutesIt’s been a busy weekend here. I must confess I was a little apprehensive about all this. Not really by choice, but simply because I haven’t really found many people as obsessed as I am with taking pictures , much of my photography has been …
Light Night 2013
Reading Time: 2 minutesJust a quick few from light night this year. Not feeling overly inspired to say much, but it’s kind of a tradition to at least post a few…
The Wedding (Revisited)
Reading Time: 2 minutesI also shot a bit of film at the wedding I have talked about in my last post – largely for amusement and experimentation. I think these have actually come out very well – but I can’t imagine shooting a whole wedding event to film, …
