Band photography - Spandau Ballet The Tribute.

A local band to me called Spandau Ballet The Tribute were wanting some photography for their publicity and website. So we got permission to use the grounds of Hickleton Hall, near Doncaster and on a very showery day managed to get these shots between downpours. Any bands looking for photography in the Yorkshire area like these or in a style you like just get in touch.

Some shots of my dog Bud enjoying the sunshine!

Here are some shots of my great dog Bud who loves to walk and loves the summertime. We have had Bud for about 2 years now and he came from a rescue Centre near where we live Barnsley Animal Rescue at Wath Upon Dearne. They were really great and gave us lots of help and advice.

Photographing North Yorkshire Moor Apprentices.

I was in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park recently where I spent a few hours photographing some of the park apprentices. On this particular day they were laying a path in a field and erecting some footpath signs. We met up in the beautiful village of Helmsley where the National Park have a depot and a centre. Here are a few of the shots.

Indy journalists go back to their roots to check out the political mood.

 Story published in Independent May 5th 2010.
A few weeks ago I teamed up with respected Independent journalist Mary Dejevsky in Sheffield, the place she grew up, and visited places such as her old school, a bakery(now a Subway)where she had a Saturday job and a few other places.
Mary and some of her colleagues were writing about the political climate in the places that they used to love and know so well and see what had changed in the time that they had been away.

Football action - My son's team last game of the season.

On Sunday Wath St James U15s played their last game of the season and had already secured promotion. It was a lovely bright day so I took a few action pictures and of them and opponents Greasboro Youth. Wath came out on top but it was a scary start as Greasboro launched an all out attack from kick off. Once Wath got a goal though things turned around and the final score was 7-2. Great game.

Three In A Bed.

Tears, tantrums and turmoil! Three In A Bed sees three sets of proud B&B owners throw open their doors in an attempt to be crowned the best bed and breakfast.
Here are some of the stills for the show which starts on 21st April Channel 4.
The couples from top are, Roger and Victoria Garlick, Joyce and Ray Barham and Claire and Mark Smith.
This should be quite entertaining as I felt the atmosphere myself when I turned up for the shoot.
