Grit
Gritty black and white to suit the lighting and expression, if not particularly the music. Though there are plenty more from this event, I’m drawing a line under...
Cheap Seats
Actually, instead of being the poor man’s choice the balcony was a select space reserved for the sound engineer, road crew and yours truly. Whilst the visual spectacle was...
Set List
The set list is not only an obvious gig shot, but if you’re familiar with the artist it also serves as a useful reference to the progress of the...
The Man Who
And the drummer must try holding time together So the rest of us can keep it tied forever
Josh Rouse’s backing duo, ‘The Long Vacations’, are a talented pair of Spanish...
Josh Rouse
I can’t recall the name of the record shop where I bought my first Josh Rouse CD, but I remember it being a great little place at Miami South...
The Passing
Time is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Could I be using it more effectively? Should I be using it more effectively? What would I choose to...
Out of the blocks
This was the very first shot I took in 2012 at the start of a photographically productive, materially destructive day. By the time I reached this location my...
Blur
A couple of weeks before the RAC Rally I attended the Malton Forest Stages to get a bit of practice in. Both events were blessed with reasonable light, though...
Esses
One of the many Escorts at this event dances daintily around the periphery of the traction circle, steering on the throttle, searching for those last few elusive tenths of...
Forest Flyer
The glorious-sounding Lancia Stratos barks, snarls and powerslides through the first Langdale forest stage of the 2011 Roger Albert Clark rally. Though it was the first weekend in...
Full Chat Fulvia
Though one of the prettiest rally cars around, the Lancia Fulvia doesn’t really set the time sheets on fire. It’s probably competitive enough within its own class though. ...
Castlerigg Stone Circle
2011 ended with a few days in England’s beautiful Lake District. I had a map with painstakingly researched list of locations, a bag full of photo gear and a...
Leapsanta? Santafrog?
With just under a kilometre remaining, these entrants still had enough energy to put on a show and have some fun.
I hope you all have lots of fun over...
Santa Promo
I found myself in amongst the press at the Santa Dash as actress Cherylee Houston, who plays Izzy Armstrong in the world’s current longest running soap, Coronation Street, did...
March of the Santas
Runners filter down towards the start line of the 5km ‘Santa Dash’ at Heaton Park, Manchester. In a very bold and un-digitalCG move, I stood right in the way...
York Minster
A perspective-bending vertical panorama of York Minster, one of the largest Gothic Cathedrals in Europe. This is a series of landscape format shots taken with the Sigma 10-20...
Centenary Promenade
This image of the Passeig de Gomez, Alicante, was the 100th shot I’ve had accepted into the Pentax Photo Gallery. It’s not the greatest of photographic achievements, granted,...
MGC-GT
Not your typical MG coupe, the MGC differs from it’s weedy, asthmatic MGB brethren by virtue of a throaty straight-six motor hewn from a solid chunk of testosterone. This...
Empty Spaces
The clots at Manchester council have recently extended chargeable on-street parking hours from 6pm to 8pm in the evenings. Those two hours now add an extra £5.40 to the...
Coastal Decay
There’s no denying that cheap package holidays have killed off many of our once-glorious Victorian seaside resorts. Many of them soldier bravely on, attempting to scrape a living from...
Veyron
There it was, the holy grail of automotive excess, the poster on a million schoolboy walls, the mind-numbingly powerful and expensive Bugatti Veyron. A chance encounter, I didn’t have...
Smoke City
I’m a bit of a sucker for graffiti and other assorted urban details, so these shutters were an obvious target for the super discreet Pentax K-m and DA40 Limited...
