Today really was the first day of spring. After what can only be described as one of the dreariest weeks the UK has ever seen, the coldest February since records began and the wettest and snowiest month for 30 years it was simply heaven to wake up to crystal blue skies, a hike in temperatures [...]
Yes. I know. It’s been over a week since i blogged. Still not into the rhythm you might say> More that i’ve been flat out and not had the slightest chance to think about it. I have a few blog posts that i have started and will get finished and posted over the coming week [...]
Controversial? Where it seems that the iphone sparked a whole new wave of street photography by people using the camera facility on their iphone, coupled with all kinds of apps to improve the image by all sorts of means, it would seem that the phenomenon (i like that word) that is called “iphoneography” has kind [...]
The first day of February this year brought with it the annual Social Enterprise Conference which was being held in Cardiff’s International Arena – you could be forgiven for thinking that Cardiff had a secret service agency but then again that would be daft wouldn’t it??!

Possibly the most interesting Boxing Day i’ve ever had. If you can call it a day that is. We left London at 9pm on Christmas Day and after 12 hours in the air (watching District 9 and The Time Travelllers Wife) landed in Hong Kong. At 4pm.With 4 hours to kill we went for a [...]
A little while ago i had the pleasure of shooting a couple who were on the brink of having a little baby. The due date was the morning of the shoot so things were a little hit and miss as to what was going to happen! All ended well however and i heard a couple [...]
Yesterday saw me meet up with the one and only Prue Leith – original celebrity chef and founder of Leith’s School of Food and Wine and Leith’s catering. We met at her London pied-a-terre in Kensington – on the way there i had to take a diversion due to some road works and bizarrely drove [...]
