“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

This is the third example of urban graffiti or street art from Barcelona that I wanted to share with you. All three were taken along the same stretch of wall near the harbour. What I would like to know is if any of you can work out what this word says. I would presume it

Lambrini is a light perry drink (similar to cider but made from peaches). Personally it isn’t something I drink, but a couple of the people I live with in a student flat really enjoy their drink (as you can see). So rather than throw the bottles away, I thought it would be an interesting experiment

The above photograph was taken from the top of the hill and includes a small selection of gravestones in the bottom left corner of the frame.

Looking at how the angle the sunlight was falling on the “black bean”, I wondered if the lens would be able to cope without getting lots of lens flare in my shot. Looking down at my little screen I knew straight away it would be a picture worth publishing in my eyes. The composition of

I enjoyed my day trip to Glasgow last June and decided to repeat the event this year. Rather than using the tourist bus to get me around the sites I wanted to photograph, my friend Bob kindly took me around his home town. The above photograph is another super-wide angle photo showing the very centre
