Reading Time: 2 minutes After the food festival the other day it seems I am back in Roundhay again. It’s easy to forget how much Roundhay Park has to offer. It is quite huge, over 700 acres in total. After being under various ownerships over centuries, Roundhay park was …
Reading Time: 3 minutes So one of my good friends has had a little birthday shindig, and I have been along capturing the event, and also roped into sound engineering. As seems to be the thing at the moment, we had a bit of Burlesque. This of course, I …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Well, this was just one of the random things. My Partner answered one of those random radio phone in call outs and got some tickets to the Leeds Food Festival in Roundhay Park. I love food, I love nice food, but this is something that …
Reading Time: 3 minutes If you move in such circles, you may have heard about the stupid fucking furore surrounding Thimbleberry Festival. This is a small underground festival, which as had it’s license pulled and the organiser up on criminal charges for alleged drug issues at the event. Here’s …

Reading Time: 2 minutes So, with somewhat better weather this year, after the horrors of the Tornado of 2009, we’ve just got back from Bearded Theory. This year we’ve had The King Blues, New Model Army and Dreadzone, plus The Wonder Stuff, Pama International, Neville Staple, Dodgy, Banco De …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve taken the Lensbaby with the Plastic Optic, and a new star filter out for an evening walk the other day. Talking to both the world through plastic idea and the Backstreets and Rooftops project this has created some intresting and slightly tripped out images.
Reading Time: 3 minutes And again, I have got to go play round London. My love of food lead me again to Borough Market, as is typical, and I decided to walk further along the river this time. I’ve focussed a lot on looking up at the rooftops in …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have been reading somewhere (of course, in a few days I have lost the source) a little about Bonsai Portraiture – obviously something very much of a simple Japanese aesthetic. I don’t have any bonsai trees, but I thought I would grab a few …
