40 days and 40 nights without Sugar. I’ve just discovered it’s actually 46. Eirene suggested it just before pancake day and I thought – yea, why not? My daughter Sophie was also in for the ride (albeit encouraged by the £20 she could spend on Easter swag incentive we offered) I could do with loosing a few lb’s and cutting… Read more →
Film is ace. You drop it off, you wait a bit and then the joy of opening the results for the first time are way better than seeing the results instantly on a digital back. Mostly. As well as that, the results are often somehow warmer. Like the valve radio vs the transistor. Like the vinyl vs the CD. I… Read more →
The littlest of the little people in or house is 4. So that’s 4 years to the day since I delivered her in our hallway and hit the local headlines as a result. A wonderful 4 years. She’s such a precious wee thing. Here she is with her big sis, playing with some of her new prezzies. Beyala toys are… Read more →

Mostly photos form around Leeds, some of Harrogate. Here’s an album of the results. I noticed how much I enjoy curating things in flickr. I could spend… Read more →
I’m lucky to own a LOMO LCA. The optics, the size, the cult status chic, the history but most importantly, the results are all things that I love. A few years ago my beloved LOMO LCA camera malfunctioned. I’d heard about a chap called Roger Lean from the LOMO community so I sent it to him – here’s my blog… Read more →
I’m going away with a friend for the weekend (she told me). I’ll need a lift up to Otley Chevin Country Hotel & Spa (she asked.). Imagine this cold weather, and I’ll be sitting in an outdoor hot-tub, drinking champagne and eating off the 6 course taster menu.. That’s nice dear (I answered, through gritted teeth). When we got there… Read more →
My new years resolution was ‘shoot more film’. Long story short (my theory is that) by shooting film, I’m spurred to be more creative, do more extra curricular creative things, that kind of thing. A sub plot is, that it’s often and adventure catalyst. Case in point; I bought a ‘job lot’ of cameras from eBay. 5 cameras from a… Read more →
