You turn around for 5 minutes and its 4 months since you last posted.  Well, I suppose that was the Summer.

There's been the Canaries, Ireland, a friend over from Australia, tons of hill-walking and a long-haul trip to India.  Ooh and a wedding on a very wet day....

I live in the centre of Manchester and it has many advantages: the restaurants, the bars, the vibrancy, the demonstrations……… the what?

So, I have been preparing for an exhibition which wi...

Travel is a big thing for me; it is at a core of why I get up in the mornings.  To see new places, meet new people, experience different ways.  But sometimes it is good to go back to places you have known.

I lived in Zambia in the 80's and it was formative in many...

Just every now and then, it is good to take a breath and look at what you are doing and more importantly, who supports what you do.  There are some great people out there; the great trainers, the organisations like Redeye, the exhibition spaces such as the John Rylands...
