I’m really pleased to announce that my work has been included in the latest issue of Portfolio Catalogue. This is amazing news for me. Back in about 1999 or 2000 my then tutor Dick Brownridge held up Portfolio as where to look for what is happening in contemporary photography so to have my [...]

Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed 09
Well I have had an interesting week of it with trips back and forth to the Photographer’s Gallery in London. “The reason?”, I hear you ask… Well I have been part of a group exhibition showcasing who they deemed the most interesting graduates from the past 12 months on British photographic courses (I know, my [...]

Back in England
Well, I have been back in the UK for 2 weeks today and am finally over the jet lag and getting around to starting new projects over here. I will post a bit later about the successes and failures of the final book output of the landscape of leisure series which arrived here just before [...]
Zoo 8th December 2008
The light was fantastic today so I went and shot in the more open side of the zoo again to make decent images of the viewing platforms and enclosures. I am not worried about using these for my project at the moment, more just trying to get as many of the things I want shot [...]
See, I said it was cold yesterday!
I woke up this morning and it was heavy snow coming down outside. Everything was really dull out light wise so didn’t make it outside to shoot but managed a few images when the sun came out briefly around half ten. First time I have shot digital since June as well. Resorted to it cos [...]
Freezing my b*llocks off in Labour park
Oh god it was cold yesterday, but unfortuately I didn’t realise this until I was standing in the wind with my tripod set up in Labour Park. Well, the wind had hinted at it earlier when I was shooting some billboards with images of trees set up in front of actual trees but the realisation [...]
Botanical Gardens III
Decided one last trip to the botanical gardens was in order after the light had gone last time before I covered the remaining exercise spaces so braved the gloomy looking sky (reminded me of English weather actually when I was actually there).
Turned out to be a wise move (isn’t being motivated to go and shoot [...]
Tai Shan 2nd December 2008
After shooting a lot on Monday I intended to take it easy today and just shoot the wave defenses in Xinghai but the light was interesting and I felt like a hill so decided to stop putting off my Tai Shan visit. Turns out I should have come here in the summer really when there [...]
Botanical Gardens II
I made a second trip to the Botanical gardens in Dalian on the 26th November on a quest to shoot the rest of the exercise spaces there and make the most of the tripod that I didn’t have last time I was there, and have a go at getting slightly different takes on the chairs [...]
A quicky in Xinghai with Mike…
Before I start, in case he reads this, sorry for the title Mike, couldn’t resist really! Anyway, went for a walk done in Xinghai a couple of weeks ago just for a break from the essay writing really, I forget the exact date but it must have been around the 20th of November or so. [...]
Xinghai Square and Eastwards 1st December 2008
Weather today was good for shooting and I’m sure it will be one of the last during this trip to China so I went out and shot a load of film today all from Xinghai Square and Eastwards through the Shell Museum (a giant recreation of a fairy tale castle) and out along Binhai Xi [...]
Beth Dow, Keith Taylor and old processes
I noticed today there have been a couple of Beth Dow’s images up on Flak. For those that don’t know Dow won the book prize on offer from Blurb this year with a series entitled In the Garden that presents a series of visages of man’s encroachment upon nature. You can see the series on [...]
