We are currently looking for funding and sponsorship to exhibit the work I'm also looking for someone to help me with the writing side of things. If anyone has any ideas or would like to get involved with this please get in touch here;

With it being the beginning of Autumn I actually spent more of the time taking pictures and foraging for mushrooms. I have never seen so many Amanita muscaria's, it was all quite magical in an Alive in Wonderland way...

Last Friday I was trying to start a new project on the east coast of Yorkshire. Unfortunately it was blowing a gale and couldn’t risk getting my camera out as I could barely keep on my feet. It turned into more of a recce and managed to get find a good few locations for when I return. Did get some digital shots and was great to be out in the elements.

I do hope this work goes onto be shown in a public gallery at some point.

March and April have been pretty busy months for me therefore my blog has been neglected a little but plenty of new posts to come.

In February and March I completed an intensive teacher training course which was allot of work. During this time I have been doing some volunteer teaching on a photography degree course which has been challenging and most rewarding.

For most of April I was in Arizona, USA. This was part family visit, holiday and work. I began a documentary project about ranchers and conservation work. Some photographs from this can be seen below, I hope to return soon to complete the work. The landscapes and out there was just beautiful and so much space. I also saw some wonderful wild life.

Tea Party - Prescott, Arizona, USA

I was shooting most of the time while I was there and came across a Tea Party protest rally on tax day while on my travels. This was an education in the political situation in the states and pictures from this can be seen below.

The Slide Luck Pot Show is coming back to London in June 2010. The first one took place here back in 2007 and I am helping out again.

Please visit the website below for me details and how to summit work. The deadline for this is 7 June 2010 for the show on 19 June 2010. So please get your submissions in and hope to see you there.

I came across a land fill site by chance in Essex last week.

Been planning some sort of project about landfill sites for sometime but as yest is hasn't really come to anything.

These pictures of plastic rubbish I captured while sneaking around the site have really got me thinking.
