Ugandan Choir of Orphans



Today I had the privilege to photograph a choir of Ugandan orphans who were performing to local schoolchildren before a concert this evening . What a delight and a fantastic atmosphere all extremely smiley and happy , this is despite the fact that most of these children have lost one if not both parents to AIDS . 

It was a little dark in the church and I did not want to use flash but managed to get lots of really nice images , It's a shame I can't use them all !

Jim and Kates wedding


The first dance

All important speech


My goodness my Guinness


Had a great day yesterday at my good friends Jim and Kates wedding as one of the best men . Fantastic day from start to finish with some great speeches . It was so nice not to do the official photography so I could just relax and enjoy the day

OLD DISPOSABLE CAMERA PICS ...... Dont throw them out develop them!

Bullring Southern Spain

GTS Infinity work and home for over a year . I think this was passing through one of the channels heading toward Alaska from Vancouver or Seattle

Horse rider on beach Southern Spain

House in the garden Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia


Victoria Vancouver Island

Waikiki beach Hawaii . A beach so uncomfortable one person decided to sunbathe on his head

This may not be the best underwater picture in the world but I took it , not many people get the chance to do this and I am very proud of this picture . To get this pic I had to quit my well payed but dead end job , get job on cruise ship , work several months in Alaska , join ship again , work in South American waters then buy a disposable camera and go to a certain beach in Hawaii ...Phew
On a recent clearout I decided to either develop the disposable cameras I have had laying round for years or throw them in the bin . Some were older than 7 years and I did worry whether there would be anything left on them 


I bit the bullet and decided to part with some cash . The cameras were developed straight onto cd saving money


I'm so happy I did and there is a great analogue charm to many of the photos . As it was so long ago the photos were taken I couldn't really remember what was on them so haven't missed the pictures that did not come out

LED LIGHTSTICK





Just had a quick play with the new lightstick I bought for £4 ! Bargain . Other than cropping and very minor light adjustments there has been no other photo-shopping . Extra arms and Craigs have been added by lightstick

Fight pics # 5




I have been wanting to sort and get this image published for a while 

The fighter took a kick to the head and slid down the cage and onto the floor 

( Incidentally within about 2 minutes  he was up congratulating his opponent and receiving his trophy )
