Africa’s Premier Ski Resort
Perched at an altitude of 3000m in the Moroccan High Atlas mountains, Oukaïmeden touts itself as 'Africa's Premier Ski Resort'. While not known for pristine powder skiing, the allure of visiting a winter sports outpost was enchanting.
In January 2012, my friend Ewan (who hails from the Scottish Highlands) and I drove...
Botič transitions
In November 2011, I visited Prague. I walked the majority of the length of the Botič Stream. Starting from Průhonický Park in the foothills that lie to the south of Prague, I followed the stream all the way to it's confluence with the Vtlava River in the city centre.
I observed how...
Bratislava
I visited Slovakia's capital Bratislava in October 2008, as it stood on the cusp of full entry into the EU monetary system. I saw a country striving to embrace a brash new economy while not forgetting it's traditional roots.
Carnival
Born in reaction to the UK's first widespread racial attacks, The Notting Hill Carnival has grown to be the 2nd biggest street festival in the world. In 2008 I spent two days engrossed in the carnival from start to finish. These images are an attempt to depict both the joy...
Confluence
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital, can be translated as 'Muddy Confluence'. Situated on the junction of the Gombak and Klang rivers, the geographical confluence is mirrored in the ethnic diversity of the metropolis. With three major ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese and Indian) and a smattering of other minorities, a walk through...
Of Chance Encounters
One thing that I cherish as a photographer is the prospect of an unplanned collision - that fleeting moment when I see a person who I know I want to photograph - an initial fear, a conversation, then a short period of mutual trust before going our separate ways; sometimes...
One More Night
September 2007: 'Come to my club night on wednesday night' said Dan. I thought why not? 6 months later I was spat out of the other end with bags under my eyes and 12,000 photographs to edit. My short journey into London's indie and electro scene swiftly became addictive. Set...
Petrol Heads
There's one thing that Western Australian's have in spades, and that's space. Perth is one of the worlds most sprawling cities, stretching over 120km from North to South and covering 100,00 hectares. A side effect of this low density population is that people rely on cars to get around, which...
San Fermin
Each year in early July, the Basque town of Pamplona explodes in a week long celebration to mark San Fermin, a festival in honour of Saint Fermin, the patron saint of the Navarre region. During the opening party, the streets are a riot of sangria, music and dancing - with...
Superpit
These are troubled times for man ? increasingly we are being forced to be introspective about our role in the world and it?s ecosystems. Global warming is becoming a real threat. The boundaries of what is acceptable behaviour by corporations and individuals are the source of much discussion and rhetoric.
In...
The Darkness
'Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...'
from The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe
Thx For The Add
I signed up to flickr.com in early 2006, with the intention of using it as a place to archive my photographs. I didn't expect that it would lead to a series of offline encounters that have led to enduring friendships. This is a record of some of the people that...
Weekenders
Throughout the summer, tens of thousands of people flock to Bournemouth at the weekends.
No longer merely a quiet place to retire, Bournemouth has in the last ten years become a focus for partying. After the UK relaxed it's licensing laws a few months ago, Bournemouth was the only town...
Göteborgs Varvet
First organised in 1980 wih 1800 competitors, the Göteborg Half Marathon (Göteborgs Varvet) has expanded over the years to the point where it is now the worlds largest half marathon, with over 63,000 competitors in 2012.
As the race has grown bigger, so has the organisation involved - there are 3500 volunteers,...
East2West
In June of 2011, with the encouragement of a friend, I put my name forward to join 8 other slightly crazed individuals to cycle 600 miles in 6 days, from the East coast of England to the West Coast of Ireland.
Our purpose? To raise awareness of male cancer, and...
