I wanted to make this photograph a little special using digital post production, as I thought that it captured a great little moment. When I took the snap I didn’t see the man’s arm pointing or the two women sat under the umbrella. However when looking through my photographs at the end of the day,…

This ornate street lamp was photographed on Westminster Bridge, near Big Ben, the houses of Parliament and the London Eye. Apart from the great style and gold details the painted side of the lamps caught my eye and made me wonder why this side of the street lamps are painted. I suppose there could be…

Opposite the prestigious department store Jenners is this Ferris Wheel in Princes Gardens. As this photo is taken at night you can’t see the Scott Monument behind the wheel, but I wanted to capture the interesting light display as it moved slowly around. Obviously this is a nice long exposure of five seconds, which makes…

“Go Penguins” is the new celebratory public art event taking place throughout Liverpool, St Helens and the Wirral and it really reminds me of the “Cow Parade” a few years ago in Manchester. Mark and Rachel suggested a walk around Liverpool to see and photograph a few of them. The above two were in the…

The Hilton / Beetham Tower was too large and close but the Great Northern Tower really…

Gaudi spent years of his life designing and working on Park Guell in the city of Barcelona. So much so he lived in a house in the grounds. The detailing pictured here is above one of the small windows of this house. At the time I was chilling out on a bench after a hard…

Here we see the beautiful 2008 Kawasaki Z750 in orange. I found this bike parked on a side street near the sea front of Barcelona in Spain. There are thousands and thousands of motorbikes and scooters of all shapes and sizes in this wonderful city and I spent a good part of mytrip documenting some…

Back in late September of this year I photographed my first wedding. Obviously I had assisted my dad when he had done weddings in the past, but this was the first on my own. Fortunately I was able to convince Mark to be an assistant and at the time he kindly provided a second camera…

This statue was purchased and erected by Brampton Chamber of Trade for the people of Brampton in April 1999 and depicts Emperor Hadrian. As far as I can tell Brampton is half way along the Roman Wall, which was built between A.D. 122 and 128. This is the nearest big town to my favourite part…
