Another great gig organised by Golden Cabinet in Shipley, Shit and Shine pounded out an amazing drum stomping set. It’s always a visual spectacle and a great atmosphere to take photos in. There’s also a Golden Cabinet promo video, it gives a good idea of how damn good the band is.

Firstly, this is not a review, I don’t do them – it’s not even a comparison, I don’t do those either – I’m just musing about what it would be like to use my newly acquired Fuji X-T1 as my daily professional camera. Basically I’m fed up with lugging around a Nikon D700, two heavy […]

I picked up this great book whilst on a recent trip to Iceland. Photographer Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson and author Unnur Jökulsdóttir travelled Iceland and documented people from all over the country. The result is the book Icelander. A series of images of ordinary people living their lives within the incredible landscape of the Island.
