Reading Time: 3 minutes Having lived in Meanwood (for the second time, and for a few years now) the woods are a constant source of pleasure and inspiration, though I never seem to get up into them as much as I would like. These are a couple of sets …
Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s Carnival Time again. Leeds West Indian Carnival takes place every year in Chapeltown on Potternewton Park. It’s great, there’s not a lot really more to say. Here’s some shots from The Black Music Festival on Sunday night. And here’s some from the Parade on …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Child free this year I managed a decent amount of photography at this year’s Unity Day. As ever it was a good event with lots of varied things to see and some awesome music.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Something that comes up in discussion more and more amongst music photographers recently is the curse of the LED spot. These may have their benefits for cost, power and the environment, but they are bloody annoying for photographers. Unlike a normal incandescent light with a …
Reading Time: 2 minutes In the wake of Britain’s nearly total solar eclipse The Guardian published a set of disappointing pictures from their roof which was shrouded in thick white smog and cloud. While not a total washout, certainly the eclipse in Leeds was not what we had all …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I 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 …
