As I’ve lived in Cambridge for a long time, and photographed many of the buildings and scenes, I decided to start on a project that has been long overdue – creating a “Colour &...

Dance Show Montage

Dance Show Montage

Over the course of the dress rehearsal and one of the mid-week performances, I’d taken a few thousand photographs of the CUCDW Dance Show. As I knew several dancers in the show and wanted to show my appreciation, I put together a montage of all the pieces, and gave them prints at the aftershow party.

Cambridge Fireworks on Midsummer Common

Cambridge Fireworks on Midsummer Common

Taken from the wonderful vantage point of the Jesus College Boat House – the reflections in the Cam and the stunning compositions make these some of the best firework photographs I’ve taken.

Colour & Form – South of France

Two more Colour & Form collages, from a long weekend in the south of France.

The second photo shows various fruit, vegetables, and seafood on sale in La Bocca’s market in Cannes. La Bocca...

A recent work-holiday to Barcelona, my third visit to the city, provided me with an opportunity to photograph Antoni Gaudi’s wondrous architecture, and many of the photographs lend themselves to my Colour & Form project. Casa Batllo Park...

Costa Rica – Day 1

Costa Rica – Day 1

I had the great fortune of going on holiday to Costa Rica for two and a half weeks. Here are some notes I wrote while I was out there, along with a few photos from each day. Yesterday was travel day – 10am flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam, then Amsterdam to Orlando (for compulsary USA fingerprinting and photo, even though we got straight onto another flight), then Orlando to...
