A few years ago a friend of mine, Ben Alldred, started a metal festival with his then band mate ‘Metal’ Ken Turner.  They organised a metal festival every year, with all proceeds going to charity.  A few years down the line and they have both left the band that they started the festival with, but [...]

This is a site I’ve explored many times, probably one of the sites I have explored the most in fact, but yet it still manages to throw up new things when you go off the beaten track a little bit.  After seeing a pic by a friend of something I hadnt seen, i decided to [...]

For a bit of a change, rather than just shooting empty derelict buildings, a fellow and I headed up to an asylum today with on of his friends to do a bit of a model shoot in a local asylum.  A fun day, and got quite a few pics I was happy with:
A few of [...]

As anyone who has been out taking pics with me will tell you, its very very rare I ever bother shooting landscape stuff, just doesn’t really float my boat.
A friend called me up and asked if I fancied a look to Holy Island with him though, and as I had nothing better on I thought [...]

Having arrived quite early in to London for the protest from the previous post, Paul and I had some time to kill waiting for the start of proceedings, so decided to pretty much just wander aimlessly for a bit, taking in a few sights and getting some random shots. This post is to collect [...]
