Light Night 2009

Light Night 2009

Reading Time: 2 minutes Light Night is an annual event in Leeds, that has been going for a few years now in which spaces in the city are taken over and become art installations and performance spaces. I had a play with my new(ish) camera and got a few 

Solfest

Solfest

Reading Time: 2 minutes Just a few shots from This year’s Solfest – more as a quick comment than any quality photography. As ever, the festival was brilliant fun. I will say this year, there were a couple of issues though – mainly due to space. The Campsites open

Moor Music Festival 2009

Reading Time: 3 minutes It’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…

Faerie Pixie Wedding

Faerie Pixie Wedding

Reading Time: 2 minutes A more personal set, but I wanted to just post a little more of the beautiful Lime Tree Farm, and a recent wedding we attended in the stone circle. And wo can resist (not even some of the veggie types it seemed) spit roasted spring 

Happy Hyde Park Basra Night

Happy Hyde Park Basra Night

Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve found a setting on the new camera to take shots of fireworks – a long exposure that saturates the image nicely. Hyde Park is literally like a war-zone at the moment, and this is one of the things that does piss me off about
