Squeaky Bum Time
Back in October 2011 I received a red envelope through the post bearing what could be deciphered as on the one hand good news, and on the other bad; My speculative entry into the London Marathon had somehow got through the ballot, and I had a much sought after place on the starting line. It [...]
‘Occupied Spaces’ – Book, Artist Talk and Group Show

The Power of the Unconventional
Two nights ago, I did something that for me is quite different. I took 5 hours out of my day to execute a well planned photographic shoot. Most of my photography is very unplanned, and relies on a heavy dose of chance combined with many miles of walking. The photographs that I made at the [...]
