Writers block inspired new photo goodness…
May 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Seeing as the last week or so has given me little in the way of inspiration as far as my writing goes, I’ve been concentrating on photography quite a bit, which is great for gettiing archiving and stuff done, as well as getting my Flickr updated. I’ve just put some pretty cool new photos of the Tyne Bridge on there, so if you’d like to take a look, head over there.

New Wedding Shots…

I’ve just uploaded some shiny new shots from a wedding I was shooting a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful to spend the day with Amanda and Kevin and their guests, and I wish them a long and happy life together. Click the image to see the rest of the set, or just click here.

Days out by the sea…
March 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Can there be a much better way to start the working week than by heading out with my camera to the coast to take a few photos? If there is, drop me a line, as I would love to know.
The sea has always fascinated me. There is something in the sheer uncontrolable nature of the oceans that draws me to the coast whenever I get the chance. At a time when man has essentially become his own God, the sea is a reminder that there are powers greater than us at work on this tiny planet, and they are not necessarily spiritual. Nature simply tolerates us, and the sea is proof of this. We cannot control it, we cannot fight it and we most certainly cannot ignore it. I hope a few of the shots I got today convey this. I’ll be adding them to a new set on my Flickr entitled simply The Coast, and the first three are up there now.

I’ve just taken a look at my Flickr stats, and it turns out that the sets I uploaded yesterday spurred my views on to a new personal best. 361 views in total yesterday, which is more than double the previous record. Thanks to anyone who took a look, hope you like the shots! For those of you who fancy taking a look, you can find my Flickr page at: http://www.flickr.com/travellingman06

Little Comets – HMV Newcastle – 12/02/2009
February 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment
I don’t know why, but I always really enjoy instore shows. Must be something to do with them being a bit different to regular gigs. Anyway, Little Comets played a quick set in HMV on Northumberland Street last night, and went down a storm. Click the image for more pics.

The Datsuns, Black Spiders and The Chevrolites – 11/02/2009
February 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Just got back from an absolutely storming gig at The Cluny. The Datsuns quite simply tore the place to shreds. Support came from Black Spiders, who were decent in a slightly cock-rockish way, and The Chevrolites, a band who I hadn’t heard before, but who I will certainly be keeping an eye out for them. Click the photo of each band to see their complete photoset over on my Flickr page.

A little known fact…
January 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Long time readers may not be aware, but as well as writing about, and photographing bands, I spend a fair amount of time shooting weddings. For a live music photographer, taking this leap was not an easy one, but I adore a challenge, so when a friend asked me to shoot theirs I thought ‘why not?’. Since shooting Vic and Dan’s happy day back in August, my diary has been rapidly filling up, and I’ve done several since, with a fair few booked in for the coming year.
If you’d like to take a look at a few more shots from that particular day, click on the photo and it will take you to my Flickr account. I’m in the process of setting up a new site dedicated to wedding and portrait photography, but until then, I’m sure that will give you a reasonable idea of what to expect.
So, if you know anyone who is getting married in the near future, pass my details on. Apparently I’m very cheap… but as you well know, I just enjoy playing with my camera!
