Graeme Gowland Oulton Park
Graeme Gowland’s epic spin off at the MCE Superbike Championships at Oulton Park May, 2012. During practice something didn’t go right for Gowla and the number 81 was spat off his Team WFR Honda. The Fireblade then went scutting off the track closely followed by Graeme. Being a Northerner the Allendale lad got up and [...]
Little Giant Girl Spots Me
Castle Street Liverpool is ironically where the Titanic was registered. It’s been host to Hollyoaks and spiders. And now the Little Giant Girl visits. This was truly an awesome moment which put the hairs on the back of my neck up. As I took the picture the Little Giant Girl turns to look at me [...]
How to Power a Giant
The Giant Uncle was literally man powered. These fellas had their work cut out for them. Giant Uncle was created by Jean-Luc Courcoult of Royal De Luxe. Although the photo shows the guys leaping to help power the giant, what it doesn’t show is the awesome noise. As they were working the teams would shout to each [...]

Liverpool Protest 2012
I’ve literally no idea what this protest was for, but I came upon it either near its end or its start. The police were pretty laid back and although the road was closed there wasn’t anything really going on.

West Kirby Marine Lake
Black glass isn’t always needed when you’re doing long exposure. Before you buy your Hoya NDx400 think about having a play with your DSLR at night. Pretty cool shots can be captured with little or effort. This shot was taken at West Kirby marine lake, late on a Sunday night. It was pretty cold and [...]
Mann Island Building Number 3
Architects Broadwaymalyan designed the Mann Island Development. It is loved and hated in Liverpool. I personally thing it’s a great bit of architecture, the sleek black lines and ultra modern look next to the three graces. Others hate the way the view of the three graces in now blocked from the Albert Dock. This the the [...]
Mann Island Black Glass
Mann Island taken from the Albert Dock. This is where you used to be able to see the Three Graces and now you get some modern architecture. Designed by Broadwaymalyan the Mann Island development consists of three buildings. The original idea to have the fourth grace was scrapped and replaced with these ultra modern buildings. Sitting [...]
Black Glass Club
The Black Glass club is inhabited by those photographers who’ve done the normal run of the mill photography, and then moved onto the more exotic stuff. High stopper Neutral Density filters (also known as Black Glass because you can’t see through them) are not for the happy snappy generation. For a start you can only [...]
