Causing Chaos For Cancer

9 March, 2010 (23:57) | Photography, newcastle | By: Shepy

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 [...]

Urbex: St Mary’s Asylum

8 March, 2010 (21:31) | Photography, Urbex | By: Shepy

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 [...]

Street Photography

23 January, 2010 (18:06) | Photography, newcastle | By: Shepy

My friend Paul and I decided to spend our Saturday having a look at the excellent exhibition at the Side Gallery of ‘Women In Prison’ with photographs of incarcerated women taken in prisons throughout the world, spanning a decade worth of work for photographer Jane Evelyn Atwood. It really is an excellent exhibition with some [...]

I had arranged to go out taking a few pics round the town with a friend of mine tonight, and as luck would have it mist had really set in, which made for a few nice pics

Gemma & Shaun’s Cyprus Wedding

15 December, 2009 (00:29) | Photography, Wedding | By: Shepy

Two good friends of mine, Gemma & Shaun, got married in Cyprus in October. As well as inviting me to the wedding, they asked if I wouldn’t mind doing the photos as well, which I was obviously more than happy to help out with.
The wedding was absolutely great, and the entire trip great fun.
Here are [...]

Stop the War Protest: Edinburgh

15 November, 2009 (13:35) | newcastle, news | By: Shepy

Seeing as how I had covered the London Stop the War coalition protest, as there was one a lot closer in Edinburgh, it seemed silly not to head along to photograph that too. The Edinburgh Stop the War protest march was on the 14th November.
Bright and early Saturday morning, Paul and I headed up [...]

Fog on the Tyne

10 November, 2009 (02:00) | Photography, newcastle | By: Shepy

Looking out the window tonight I could barely see the other side of the street as a thick fog had descended. As I live right on the banks of the Tyne I couldn’t resist doing a few shots of the well known of “Fog on the Tyne”.  Click images to enlarge.

Comments and suggestions welcome [...]

Model shoot in an asylum

8 November, 2009 (19:00) | Photography, Urbex | By: Shepy

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 [...]

Wee touch of landscape

2 November, 2009 (23:21) | Photography, Travel | By: Shepy

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 [...]
