...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 2 minutes Went a a random night out at Beaverworks the other day – Killertrax. It was quite quiet and not 100% my favourite music, but I took a few shots to have a go with the Canon at some club stuff, having not been out so …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I was commissioned to create these shots for Sunniva Brunel’s project, shooting their practice sessions at the College of Music. This was worrking low light, no flash obviously, trying to get shots atmospheric shots while being unobtrusive. I worked with the 50mm f/1.8 lens at …
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 Burlesque, as we know is big stuff at the moment, and for my friend Michelle’s wedding we were treated to some more. Darn Shame. This was at the Alea Casino down on Leeds Dock, which hires out a function space. It’s quite nice, but in …
Reading Time: 3 minutes After having a go in Kirkstall and Knaresborough recently, I wanted to try some more long exposure water shots. We are lucky in Leeds to be one of the greenest UK cities (not that living in Hyde Park feels like this at times) and Meanwood …
Reading Time: 3 minutes We went to Opera in The Park, which was brilliant, and had me in tears when they opened with O Fortuna! from Carmina Burana. Much as I complain at times about Leeds Shitty Council wasting money, I think there are worse things they could spend …
Reading Time: 3 minutes A little more restrained this year than the 150 or so pictures I got when massively excited by my new camera last year), here’s a few from Kirkstall Festival this year. Kirkstall Festival is a bit of a mixed bag. It has a masive funfair, …
Reading Time: 2 minutes After the food festival the other day it seems I am back in Roundhay again. It’s easy to forget how much Roundhay Park has to offer. It is quite huge, over 700 acres in total. After being under various ownerships over centuries, Roundhay park was …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Well, this was just one of the random things. My Partner answered one of those random radio phone in call outs and got some tickets to the Leeds Food Festival in Roundhay Park. I love food, I love nice food, but this is something that …
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: 2 minutes I’ve taken the Lensbaby with the Plastic Optic, and a new star filter out for an evening walk the other day. Talking to both the world through plastic idea and the Backstreets and Rooftops project this has created some intresting and slightly tripped out images.
