...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have completed various photoshoots round Kirkstall, around the river and canal. It’s an interesting place, with a lot of industrial remnants. There is also this large space, semi-derelict with a rather random homeware store. For me this epitomises the idea of parafunctional spaces – …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI think one of the places we visit most must be Haworth. Obviously there is the appeal of the Railway for me, but this time was not shops, or trains, but the annual 1940s weekend. This is always worth a visit, though it can get …
Reading Time: 3 minutesFor a while, doubtless because Gordon does in one of the Thomas stories, my son has been asking to go to London. Of course the price of travel nowadays kind of precludes this as a random trip but needing to go down to Cambridge for …
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis time I have not been roped into being a photographer, but who doesn’t love a wedding for a bit of photo action. This as my sisters wedding, so of course a nice family event, and it was nice to get down to Cambridge and …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have a dreadful confession. Actually it’s probably not a confession, as it may well have become clear to those who follow anything I do artistically, and also I blame my son. But… I am a train geek. I think the polite term for this …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI am a little torn about whether to post this – I don’t want to create disquiet, or appear like someone who is difficult to work with. But I feel I have to actually protect my rights, and ensure that other people do not run …
Reading Time: 4 minutesMy aim on this walk was to join the canal at the end of Thornes Lane Wharfe, and so complete the Wakefield end of the Calder Hebble Navigation, but this appearded to have been cut off, I guess due to damage to the tow path. …
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother Images from the Underground set Sunrise at the West Indian Centre.
Reading Time: 5 minutesWhat upsets me here is that what has been gained from this? An charity event has lost a set of images which I provided to them pro-bono to help them as a crew and promote the work they did. I will obviously not be shooting their events again, as it seems internal politics have led to a situation where members of the promotional team do not know what other members have agreed, and I don’t really want to be working in that situation. One less club on the list for me, one less photographer on the list for them. The DJ himself has lost the use of the image he wanted to use in the first place and the possibility of some future collaboration. Because of nothing more than a kickback about giving proper credit.
And that helps the music scene how?
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnd here we are again. Always I try and avoid getting roped into weddings. And always I seem to end up doing it. Caiti and Rich’s wedding was in a rather nice pub in Appletreewick though, and so although I was actually feeling quite ill …
