Shit and Shine at Shipley for the Golden Cabinet
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.
Tour De France – Le Grand Depart, Reeth, Yorkshire Dales
It was a real thrill to photograph and watch the opening stage of the Tour de France – known as le grand départ.

The five mile race starts in Kinghorn before the runners head down to the beach and proceed to loop around the Black Rock in the Firth of Forth near Burntisland. The […]
Street photography in Manchester with my Fuji X-T1
Armed with my new Fuji X-T1 I thought I’d spend a couple of hours wondering the streets of Manchester. Overall I’m really pleased with the results and can’t wait to use it over a longer period of time. So far I reckon this is my favourite digital camera I’ve had.
Fuji X-T1 and Nikon D700

Icelanders
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.
