  • The journey to Snowdon

    The journey to Snowdon

    I’ve been visiting North Wales all my life. As a family we would take our caravan to Anglesey as often as possible. Unfortunately I have no real memories of these trips outside the smell of coffee and the sound of my parents talking as I’d fall asleep. I don’t remember the beaches, the views, the…

  • Pride in Blogging

    Pride in Blogging

    I’ve been struggling with this blog for a number of years. I think once I started really looking into photography and realised that it was more than over-processed sunsets I struggled to find purpose and content for the site. Was I building a blog about Liverpool? About architecture? About street photography? A tech review site?…

  • My New York Journal

    My New York Journal

    Before going to New York I had this idea to start a journal. On our previous trips my wife had done one of these and I quite liked it. I’ve never done one before for the simple reason that my wrist hurts if I write for any real period of time. The idea of writing…

  • Where am I today?

    Where am I today?

    A few weeks ago I created a morning routine. Get up. 5km run. Breakfast. Write blog. Shower. Sit down at desk and start the day. It was going well for a while until I got ill. I do plan to get back into it because what I’ve noticed over the past few weeks is that…

  • I miss the ferry

    I miss the ferry

    It’s been 2 months since I moved my studio from a space in Liverpool to a space in my house and because of that I rarely get the ferry any more. I think I need to do Ferry Friday or something. Have one day a week when I work from a cafe in Liverpool because…

  • My best of 2017

    My best of 2017

    So here I am in April sat in a coffee shop (Love Locks, Liverpool) drinking coffee and I’m trying to think of what to write for today’s blog post when I happen to find an album in Lightroom Mobile called “Best of 2017”. I must have made this at the end of last year, or…

  • Editing NYC

    Editing NYC

    Editing photos from New York is hard. I'm trying to find the good street photos in there but it's sort of hard work separating them from the bad ones. The ones where nothing is happening but the light is nice and the backdrop is NYC. It's like eating a spoon full of cornflakes and then…

  • Missed a day

    Missed a day

    So my plan was to blog every day. I missed the first few due to illness. Well thats fair enough, but the other day I got stuck in. 2 whole blog posts and then I missed a day. What happened yesterday? Was I too busy? Was I run off my feet and fell asleep as…

  • Stupid head

    Stupid head

    I wrote this before we went away to NYC. I was stressed and panicking. What if the trip wasn’t perfect? How do I make it perfect? Well all my fears proved to be for nothing as a few things happened that I never expected which just goes to show that maybe I should learn to…
