New Brighton Remembrance Service
I’ve documented the Remembrance Service for many years. This year it was cold, wet and windy on New Brighton promenade. I wasn’t sure how many people would come out in such conditions but it was a busy service. People were here to pay respects for lives lost. I saw a dog in the corner of…

Not being good enough
I sat down last night with full intention of posting my best Iceland photos. Ive got about 22 that are sorted into a group for posting. They’re good solid photos. They tick all the right boxes. Beautiful light. Epic landscapes. A land of fire (which we didn’t see) and ice (which we did). They filmed…

2 days in Leiden
Earlier this year we went to Amsterdam. We had heard that Leiden was a nice place for a brief stop and as it was on the way we figured why not. Thanks to Airbnb we stayed in the middle of town instead of in the drab hotel district by the train station. I actually forgot how…

Liverpool Biennial’s Evertro glowpark
The Liverpool Biennial in association with artist Koo Jeong A and Wheelscape Skateparks have created the UK’s first glow in the dark skate park or glowpark. It’s a fantastic collaboration of art, architecture and culture to create something both visually interesting to look at and completely functional for skaters of all ages. It’s everything you could want…
