Reading Time: 3 minutesI last went to Tropical World in Roundhay about 20 years ago, still slightly tripping after a Heineken Festival (at the age where it still seemed amusing to try and teach the mynah birds to say “fuck”)… It’s been very interesting to go there again, …
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is somewhere I have been meaning to go for some time. The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a heritage line running from Keighley to Oxenhope. Along the route is Haworth, which is also a lovely place to visit in its own right. The …
Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s festival time again. I have been running the stewards for the annual Moor Music Festival up near Skipton and camping with the Northern Green Gathering crew. It’s been hard work, but lovely weather and a lot of fun. Here’s a taste of the crazy…
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe took a walk over the top of Ilkley Moor the other day. I’ve been a few times up to the Cow and Calf, but never really explored much of the rest of the moor. I was researching celtic stoneworks and ended up with various …
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhile visiting for my graduation, my mother has been staying up at a campsite in Threshfield, and we went up to visit here there. I took quite a few pictures, and for some of these played about with some editing ideas, something I haven’t really …

Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been toying with this idea for a while (and have already had a couple of people saying, “about bloody time”). I’ve got the bug here, I’m really enjoying learning properly about photography. So I have bought myself a Canon EOS 1000D with an 18-55mm …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this month’s London extravaganxa I decided to go out a bit further afield and take a trek out to Greenwich and the Docklands. A long time ago I went on a scout trip staying on the Lord Amory and remember a night walk including …
Reading Time: 4 minutesSo this is starting to bring together the ideas I have for my Dissertation, and the reason I bought this little camera last year. In the course of my life in Hyde park, I have been acting the role of ‘researcher participat[ing]’, as Herbert Gans …
Reading Time: 3 minutesBack in London again. Meeting again on St Mary Axe I wandered past the Lloyds Building and Leadenhall Market. I was struck by this mkeshift protest memorial to Ian Tomlinson, the newpaper seller murdered (and I will state my opinion here) by the police recently. …
Reading Time: 2 minutesBack in London again. I recall when I was very young and even more obsessed with the Underground that I am now, making my poor father take me on every line – possibly harder now with more gates and barriers – during the course of …
