Chinese Archway in Liverpool

Celebrity at the Open Eye
Martin Parr has brought together 2 great photographers and some photos he has collected from flea markets in New York to produce a show about celebs. It’s a really interesting show and I must admit that I when I first
La Machine back in 2008
I was looking at the website for the upcoming ‘Giant Spectacular’ event in Liverpool that is set to eclipse La Machine from 2008. So I started looking at my old photos of that fantastically stunning event. After a few minutes
The Conservation Centre
This year has been tough on venues. The long standing Masque announced it would close. I shot my first gig photos there many years ago. That was quite a shock. Just as shocking was the news that the CUC would
Post Liverpool Marathon update

Bold Street #1
The start of a new series. This isn’t a series of 5 photos over the next week. It’s just Bold Street as I document it. I’ll keep putting them up and labelling them “Bold Street #xx” as and when.
Bold Street Festival
One of my favourite streets in Liverpool is Bold Street. Yesterday the top half was closed off and temporarily pedestrianised. It made a huge difference to the street and I hope the street is pedestrianised in the future. I saw
