In mid-October Britain it can seem like a relatively low level god is resentfully toying with a dimmer switch, daring it to break. Sunshine Cloud cloud Sunshine Cloud Sunshine sunshine sunshine Cloud cloud… Before the switch breaks, the clocks go back, and we are plunged into seemingly eternal wintertime gloom. There are more days when […]
As I haven’t fed this blog for about half a year, here’s a mishmash post of recent words and images from the first two months of 2024, half cobbled and extrapolated from my latest Instagram posts. Photographs and memory have an inextricably connected relationship, as discussed on these pages before. Photos can serve to cement […]
Here’s a selection of event photography images from a couple of tech conferences that came along in September 2023, one straight after the other. Both were repeat jobs I’d done before, working with pleasant people, which always helps things along well. The first was Serverless Days Cardiff at Depot, a large warehouse in the industrial […]
Please license images of the 2022 WWE event in Cardiff, UK, via my Alamy library here. Cardiff transformed into the global capital of wrestling for a few days last weekend. A show of the US franchise, WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) drew 60,000 wrestling fans to witness what was dubbed the ‘Clash at the Castle’. […]
7 March 2022 Monday afternoon, standing at improvised kitchen surface desk: kitchen surface, upturned plastic washing-up bowl, cardboard box. Because my back is still sore.

The opening months of 2022 have seen me rekindling my passion for street photography. It’s been helped by visiting new towns, which always helps to renew the spark. Whatever those places are like, there is greater sensitivity and heightened observation when you are somewhere unfamiliar, and if you only have a limited amount of time […]
The year of 2021 has been deeply unusual for live events and event photography. When it began in January, the still-raging pandemic meant that most events of any scale were pretty much off the cards. Indoor events were certainly a no-no. Now they are back. By the time summer arrived, things had changed, or were […]
Come on. Just give me a new blog to eat. Do it for me, your old website friend eh? How about it? Some nice fresh content to chew on. It’s been a while and I’m hungry. It doesn’t have to be any good. You don’t have to shyly promote it on social media, half embarrassed […]
The now UK-wide coronavirus 2021 lockdown feels a world away from last March. The governments of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England have all done it slightly differently, but after a journey of various changing restrictions over the last few months, we are now in the same place. Here in Wales we have been under […]
Cardiff is nearing the end of its two-week firebreak lockdown imposed by the Welsh Government to slow the spread of coronavirus. It is due to be lifted on November 9th. On Monday morning I photographed some city centre shopping streets. Media outlets and picture editors tend to favour a slightly amplified image of complete desertion […]
