It may be white in England – but we got The Ashes
Looking out over a snowy English countryside with a smile on my face knowing we have retained The Ashes. A great achievement to the England team – and just now need to win the series to feel totally happy. Many years in the waiting and now to end the chants of “wingeing Pom” – in […]

Wildlife and Travel photography
If you have not been to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the National History Museum, it is well worth a visit. Slightly amusing to see that a previous winner had his award removed for an image of a rare wolf – only to have it uncovered as being a tame animal […]

Some very interesting follow-up to my exhibition leading to a chain of hotels looking at using my / my grandfathers images to redecorate a couple of hotels. So – if you see somewhere with a “Mad Men” style decor .. it could be me š

Photo frenzy
Well – its a little over 3 months to go to my exhibition and it’s a great task to be going through the vintage images and artwork from the 50’s and 60’s. Probably timely that I am being invited to a vintage themed party in a penthouse nightclub in Central London in a couple of […]
