...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: 2 minutes…long term project to shoot the canal network in West Yorkshire. Some of this I manage to do with the toddler in tow, as these in Wakefield, where there is also a lovely play park outside the Hepworth Gallery.
I will be making these into a book some time. What is interesting is the differences in my editing style …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI spend a lot of time travelling on busses and trains. Looking out of the windows provides a unique view of the surroundings which is detached and dispassionate, a different reality. You see places that you may walk through on different days, or that you …
Reading Time: 2 minutes…one image every day for an entire year. It is often seen as a kind of rite of passage for a photographer.
In the end I had to abandon this, not because of taking the images, but keeping up with regular editing and uploading proved hard…
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s getting towards the end of the year, and with my birthday and Christmas looming, the day job is done until January. I always like the feel of the Uiversity Campus in winter, the Christmas Tree, the Lights – I thought I’d just bring my …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ve been deveoping quite an interest in photographing some of Leeds Industrial Heritage, and of course we have a fair set of museums which are quite good for entertaining small children. One of these, though a fair way out and only open occasionally is Thwaite …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFollowing last September’s walk out to Woodlesford I decided on a different leg of the Aire and Calder for another walk, from Castleford, out to Knottingley. So this time I started at the station, with a brief detour to test the low light capabilities of …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ve been back to Holbeck again after my first photo exploration, looking for a few old buildings such as the mill here on Low Hall Place that I have explored on google maps. Hunslet is very much a place of change at the moment. While …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI went out to Light Night this year with the intent of doing quite a lot of photography, and indeed I did get quite a few interesting images on film cameras, which will be posted as and when. I spent quite a lot of time, …
Reading Time: 4 minutesHaving been to a couple of parties here, I have been meaning for some time to visit here for some photography. With the Indian summer this last few days I’ve taken the opportunity to do so in the sunshine. Clayton Quarry, or more correctly Woodside …
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn my explorations of the industrial remnants of Meanwood, It has been interesting to look right outside my door – the path that runs at the bottom of the Highburys also has some nice old red-brick buildings by The Beck. I also captured these interesting …
Reading Time: 2 minutesContinuing to explore a little more, I have wandered down Meanwood Road this time, onto the bottom end of Woodhouse Ridge and the bottom of Sugarwell Hill. I found this old bomb shelter on the ridge – suprisingly relatively safe to enter (i.e not full …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have been exploring more around Meanwood Park, now I live here again, and have found plenty of interesting corners I’ve not discovered before, such as the old Highbury Cricket Ground, and this amazing Boulder Gate up by the Myrtle pub. This has been a …
