Hello 2016
A new year dawns and brings with it many more photographic opportunities to look forward to. 2015 was a very busy year for me photographically, but the downside was that it didn’t leave much time for updating my blog. The good news is that I’ve now incorporated it into my work flow so the blog […]
Before the Beginning Tokyo Marathon 2015
Unless you’ve ever run a marathon yourself, you’ve probably no idea of all the stuff happens before the race even starts – the mammoth task of organising 35,000 people to line up – all the stuff before the beginning. Follow me on: Facebook | Twitter | Youtube | The first task for runners is […]

Kids and families – A few favourites
One of the greatest joys and challenges of a photographer is capturing kids and families in a natural way. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing many and here are a few of my favourites from recent shoots. The challenge photographing children, especially younger ones, is to be able to capture their personality and spirit. Generally, […]
The march Japan doesn’t want you to see.
It’s August 15th – anniversary of the end of World War II. Hundreds of riot police line a Tokyo street leading to the controversial Yasukuni shrine – a shrine which remembers Japan’s war dead, including over 1000 men convicted as war criminals, 14 of which are ‘Class A’. On TV there is a lot of […]

Here we snow again
The weather is capricious at the best of times, but in recent weeks it has seemed to be on a whole new level of unpredictability. Blizzards in North America, Storms in the UK, and in Tokyo temperatures that go up and down like a yo-yo. It seems whatever supreme being that controls the weather is […]
Some of my 2013 favourites
2013 has now passed and gone. It was good year, filled with many changes and challenges for me. As 2014 gets into gear I wanted to do a review of some of my favourite pics from 2013. This year I aim to create a whole new body of work, and I look forward to sharing […]
The Garage
Every so often I shoot things for no particular reason other than there is something about them that interests me. These are often quite ordinary objects with seemingly no photographic value. Like many other photographers I like the challenge of making the uninteresting look interesting. One such situation arose when I was in my brother’s […]
One Night in Shibuya
Shibuya is one of the hearts of Tokyo. An area constantly teaming with people. In the daytime and evening the hustle and bustle never seems to stop, but at night it goes a little more to extremes from very crowded to very quiet. Many people who read my blog won’t have experienced Shibuya at night, […]
