Currently considering a live streamed A Photographic Life one day event. Free to attend in person. Maybe four special guests. Taking place in Oxford with easy access from London. Anyone interested?

Managed to take a camera out for the first time in months....nothing special, just wanted to prove to myself I still can take random street style pictures.

At Maryhill Burgh Halls in Nov 21 we invited people to come in and talk about Maryhill and Glasgow. Their story’s were recorded. I took some pictures as the people told their story’s. A deliberate choice so not to run it like a portrait session. For me a big change using colour and portraits!

Thanks to @glasgowwestend.bsky.social for the kind comments. Here is part of a short clunky/crude video I made of Mary telling her story of growing up in Maryhill. I have more Faces & Echoes which were recorded over a weekend at Maryhill Burgh Halls in Nov 2011..alas the Kelvin Dock Bar has gone !

Every now and then I get the notion that I can do colour. So I am going back a couple of years to re-visit some pictures I took in Glasgow, in 2021. Like the old Evening Times sign the pictures I will post over the coming days were taken in Maryhill.

I have three active projects, I keep adding to them when I can. I have shown a few from the Rochdale Canal & Carrington Moss in Manchester. The third is one I call Landing Ground recording landscape & life in the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales. This picture taken from the top of Gran Boduan.

Will be walking the Rochdale Canal through the centre of Manchester. I am reluctant to call this a project- more of photo essay. Maybe you can join me in this short journey over the coming weeks. This is Chen who lives in an apartment next to the Rochdale Canal in Manchester.

Carrington Moss, Manchester….one of my long term projects. Recording this green space and how it might change if development plans are approved and implemented.

I posted my first picture here 5 days ago and have been surprised and delighted at the number of connections and interest in my pictures. Hope you are all having a great Sunday. One more picture for today. Over the coming week will explain more about my approach to projects/photo journeys.

Great to reconnect with some old friends and meet new ones. A quick run through some of my Glasgow pictures - unfortunately you do have to suffer my guitar playing!
