Time for a project methinks, so I have made a start. I am not sure where I am going to take this but here are three images from my first visit to the church.

Thanks to everyone at the church who where very helpful indeed.

It is dedicated to photography for business. It has examples of my photography that has been used in a business context (Marketing, Web, PR etc.).

If you would like to see it in the flesh why not get in touch or  if you can read an ePUB file you can download it here http://bit.ly/Ab6g7Z

Here are a few images of the book

A few days late I know but I had a day of catching up on emails etc yesterday,so had no chance to blog. Anyway looking back on 2011 it was a good year, better than 2010 and 2010 was better than 2009 so things are looking up. Lets hope that 2012 brings the same level of increase. Plenty of naysayers around but I do find if you remain positive good things happen.

So heres to 2012!!

Many years (20!!) ago my driving instructor said to me that because cameras (film in those days) where so good that photography was all down to luck. You can be lucky with a photograph, but to get repeated ‘luck’ you really need to know what you are doing, that is why, then as well as now, there is still need for a pro photographer.

I own a pen it doesn’t make me a writer (as you can probably tell by my short blog posts!!).

The brief was to get environmental portraits of the management team at the Curve Theatre. Two and half days where spent in Leicester, sussing out locations and getting people organised. The whole gig went very well indeed, very much thanks to Claire Webb the Senior Media Officer at The Curve – she was an absolute star and really great to work with. I have to say the subjects where very patient and willing which helps enormously when trying to get the best shots.

Here are the photographic portraits, if you click on each image it will take you to The Curve Theatre website and give you a bit more info on each person. I would love to hear your thoughts on the photography.

Hi Everyone,

I have not blogged for a bit, sorry about that been a bit busy with various photographic projects. To rub it in even further, here is some some shameless self promotion, we are all friends here so I am sure you understand the need for this.

I would really like you to become a fan of my  Facebook fan page. Tell your friends, your family, your work colleagues, anyone. You know it makes sense.

Thanks to you all. I will post something interesting soon!!

The SUN awards is a showcase  for the best professional photography in the North of England.

I would like to thanks all those involved in the SUN Awards and the judges for picking one of my images. It is much appreciated, I am delighted and well done to Jonathan Oakes the winner.

Here is my image and and the online book

I was originally going to launch this in September but I have had some good news over the weekend that is likely to clash with the launch.

So here goes

The idea behind the project came about after hearing that Preston Bus Station is going to be demolished to make way for the Tithebarn project. I once hated this building, I thought it was ugly and smelly and old fashioned. How my ideas have changed. As readers of this blog will know I am a huge fan of 1960’s architecture, not all of it ,but there are some gems out there that are works of art. They have been unloved for years and are looking grubby and as a result people want to get rid. Preston Bus Station is one of these buildings, lets us not be too hasty in destroying what we consider ugly today which we will no doubt regret in years to come. I realise that towns and cities have to move on and there is no use in preserving the past just for the sake of it but when something is clearly unique then surely it warrants preservation.

Admittedly Preston Bus Station is not looking its best, it has been neglected, some might say deliberately to call for it demolition. It just needs a bit of TLC, not a lick of paint but a sympathetic renovation. This was once a brave vision of the future, clean modern, efficient albeit in the wrong part of town. Lets keep it.

I hope my pictures show some of the wonderful shapes this building creates against the skyline.
