...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Photography in the urban arena, often encompassing landscape, architecture and street photography to explore the impact of humans’ interaction and editing of the terrain, in the space of cities, whether people are present in the images or not.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Over the last couple of years of shooting, Ihave developed quite a thing for epic wide-angle scenes. I love the amount you can fit in and the really exagerated perspectives of wide angle shots. Having managed to be quite good with my svaings this year …
Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve been down to London for work again, and as usual managed to blag my travel so I get a fair amount of time later in the day to take a look around. I’ve taken the opportunity again to have more of a wander round …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Light night happens every year in Leeds, with art installations over the city after dark. There’s often some very good stuff, but it can be quite hectic and busy. I was quite tired this year and not so engaged with taking pictures, but here’s a …
Reading Time: 3 minutes So as you may have guessed, I do love a good sunset for photographic subject material. Earlier in the year I bought a couple of tinted grad filters from SRB, an engineering company who make a number of photographic products. Over this year I bought …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Kirkstall is a very interesting area of Leeds, if you spend the time to look around. This is where the river aire flows into the city though a mish mash of old industry, reclaimed nature reserves, and of course the Abbey, once the true gateway …
Reading Time: 2 minutes We went into town the other day, for something to do, to have a look at the Leeds Museum, which opened (in its current form aabout a year ago, and I have never, so far, been). I didn’t really take many pictures in the museum …

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: 4 minutes For this final (for now) installment of Backstreets and Rooftops, I took myself deeper into the University Campus. I’ve been very inspired by this project, and hope to gather the absolute best of these (as I know I have posted many shots over these four …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Playing some more with the rootop idea, I have gone down into the LS2 and Little Woodhouse area this time – somewhere I have not really explored in so much detail. Theres more of the redbrick here.
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve been out again with a further installment of the project to explore the backstreets and rooftops of Hyde Park – taking loose angled shots to explore the way we would see some of these places through the corner of our eyes, but would not …
Reading Time: 2 minutes On of the joys of living in a built up inner city area is the wildlife. I mean who could not adore the crows and seagulls squawking and bickering all the time. As you may guess I am being a little sarcastic here, but they …
