I'm a photographer based in the Huddersfield area of West Yorkshire, England. I photograph many things, but a great deal of my personal photographic output has been shaped and inspired by the landscape and people of the north of England.
I'm still a film user and a darkroom printer. I suppose I have to be, as most of what I photographed up to about 2010 is on film, and mainly 5x4. When ever I print in the darkroom it strikes me that it's a sad loss to humanity that this way of working is slipping away into the past now. However, I introduce students to darkroom work via work experience and on the whole they love it, even though I don't think most of them would like it day in day out.
This blog is an almost random thread of my images. Some that simply catch my eye for no particular reason, some seasonal or topical, some all time favourites, and some because in all honesty I can't not take photographs, and there has to be some sort of place to put those images that at one time might have been stuck in a drawer or in a box under the bed. Now its the internet. Same thing perhaps, but the audience is bigger.

An alternative route for the Pennine way long distance path from Standedge to Black hill in the South Pennines. Dry as a bone at the moment.










Faces. A little set from a series I made a while ago. All taken in various cemeteries in West Yorkshire.



Out this morning in West Yorkshire after the illusive woodland Giant Hogweed.
A favourite South Pennine ruin of mine. Taken in about 1992. Saw it the other day and its now surrounded by a few new buildings, tarmac, cars etc. This view has gone.




A quick look around the local and not too brilliant woodland this morning with a ring flash looking for Japanese Knotweed.
