I have always done work that I enjoy from working on Radio and in clubs as a DJ to now working as an artist. I originally got into photography to use the images as a basis for my very large oil and mixed media paintings, but now my main art practice is photography. I have many projects they can be found on my Flickr site
You Will Never Look at Them In The Same Way Again (Or as I used to refer to it as The Day Job)
The work is based around capturing the disturbance to surfaces created by acts of joy riding and arson by zooming into scorched, disfigured dumped burnt out cars Each picture I produce has a fascinating story attached to it, this work can also be found at My Website
On The Street
Street Photography which I post on Flickr Flickr Street Photography Set
A Photo A Day Everyday - 365 Project no restrictions, no exceptions
It began on 1 January 2009 and every day since then I have taken a photo, it keeps me looking, it keeps me taking photos, and I hope it enables my work to improve. Many images taken in the 365 have been the starting point or spark for other projects. It is important to me.
100 Strangers
In 2011 I completed this project and I'm not stopping, the concept is: approach a complete, stranger ask to take their photograph, find out something interesting about them, then post it My Flickr Stranger Photographs
During the 100 Strangers project I found some people had Famous Names so now I am working on 100 Famous Strangers who are not really famous I am looking for a 90 year old Alice Cooper. The aim is to have an exhibition with 100 photos of "famous" people with the “famous” people attending.
Cricket
I’m passionate about cricket and since retiring from playing not too long ago I photograph cricket grounds either as a landscape with a cricket game in the landscape or feature people in a street photography style. My work features Test Match cricket England v Australia at Perth or Edgbaston club and county cricket at a photogenic English village ground I'm also interested in cricket grounds that have died or are a new complex, and of course the unusual places were cricket is played.

Coombs Wood Sports and Social Club
The current ongoing project with my cricket work is Coombs Wood Sports and Social Club. I’m documenting their 90 year old home being converted to 82 houses and the building and move to a new state of the art ground Coombs Wood Project Flickr Site
