Gonzilla TV get spooky at Milton Keynes:

Last month, organised by the Rich Jonas and the Board Syndicate, I was asked to shoot their UK team riders at halloween snow dome special rail session. With a top UK team of rail slayers, we shot well into the twilight hours, witnessing a mixture of epic tricks and Halloween radness! Keep an eye-out for this in future magazines, but here is the film the talented lads at Gonzillia TV recently released!

LG Freeze at Battersea:

Returning for my 3rd consecutive year to the freestyle ski and snowboard event in the heart of London - The Relentless Freeze Festival. An international team of athletes battled it out with a backdrop of the magnificent Battersea Power Station, while I was on commission for WGSN to report the latest fashion trends on and off the slopes and meet up with some good friends during the spectacular show!

The Final Day of Workshops

Back with friends at ADeC and Bargroves Youth Centre to connect with young people in St Neots. I was asked to attend a workshop during the day as well as round up the BMX and Skate workshops from the previous week. Despite heavy rain we loaded the Bargroves Van with bikes and ventured back to Corby's Adrenaline Alley to capture the action and encourage photographic practice.

Hereford today, St Neots Tomorrow!

Arriving in Hereford this afternoon was like a breath of fresh air; rolling hills, beautiful blue skies and a freshness in the air that only the countryside can deliver. The small city of Hereford is the gateway to Wales and some breathtaking terrain. I headed to Andy's Kitchen to set up a series of images as part of the Herefords Annual photography festival fringe. It was a delight to meet both Kate and David, use tools which i forgot and get my work back on wall space! Here are some rather shaky images i took this afternoon:

A day of two halfs indeed!

This morning, way before the rooster calls, I ventured to Downing street to capture Breast Cancer Campaign illuminate Number 10 for Wear it Pink day this coming Friday. Featured in the Evening standard this evening the Prime Minister is quoted to be "delighted". Below is one of the images captured this morning.

Moving on, next stop was to the University of Westminster to drop of more 120 film and Scan the remaining negatives on file which will top up my Roadside Britain project. Then as the evening drew to a close, it was off to the Magnum Offices to attend a book signing with one of the UKs most legendary and iconic photographers, Martin Parr. Below is a picture take during his talk about his new endeavor "The Protest Books"

Xscape with Nitro, 686 and Arbor Snowboard Team

After a last minute photo call with the cast of Legally Blonde at the Savoy Theatre capturing imagery for Breast Cancer Campaign and Wear it Pink month, i headed up the M1 for a midnight photo-shoot with the UK Nitro, 686 and Arbor snowboard team at Xscape in Milton Keynes. Smoke bombs, loads of lighting, Gonzilia TV filming and lots of tricks on the donky rail kindly provided by the Park shapers at X-Scape. Teaming up with Nitro Team manager, Rich Jonas, the riders donned some funky halloween gear and face paint and displayed a wide range of tricks way past all our bed times!

Pink Aerobics in Hyde Park:

After a glorious weekend throughout much of England, looking back over images shoot on Sunday afternoon's annual Pink Aerobics event in Hyde Park, I can't help but laugh at our unpredictable weather - for last year we were greeted with mud, plenty of rain and the occasional sunny spell. Such a contrast as well over 300 participants, all 'shock a leg' to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. I was asked by event organiser and proprietor, Selaine Saxby, from Less Bounce to come along and shoot the action and enjoy the dance routines from all 5 acts.

Desert Scene and 120 Scans:

Last night I was asked by Desert Scene Rock to shoot another epic night with European Stoner Rock bands at the Purple Turtle in Camden. Joining friends and shooting the headlining band 'My Sleeping Karma'. While during the day, i was at University of Westminster scanning imagery stocked up from the summer. Imagery from my Roadside Britain project, some from Nick and Becky's wedding and a few random films thrown in. Here are two very conflicting images. I hope you like them...
