Great news...... just had word that I have been short listed for Landscape Photographer of the Year, keeping everything crossed.
More later.......
The British weather is so unpredictable - you get yourself geared up and excited for some incredible light only when you get there its absolutely sheeting it down. This was a recent experience when leaving home to drive to Cullercoats. Leaving home the weather, clouds and light were extremely promising, as I got through the Tyne tunnel I was unable to turn off my lights and windscreen wipers due to the poor weather......all the best laid plans, so its was back home, feet up and a glass of wine, ho hum.
So far in July Ive not had much opportunity to get out and take new stuff. Though I did manage to get a couple of images of poppies at the bottom of Penshaw Monument during late evening. The sky didn't quite change in colour as much as I would have liked at that time of the evening, but sometimes you have to accept a compromise. The aim was to capture movement in the poppies, hope you like it.
2012 Landscape Photography Calendar
The team from Sheridan Design - who are in the process of printing my 2012 A4 size calendar - have been great to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending their professional and friendly services. The calendar incorporates images from the North East and beyond and comes complete with an envelope making it suitable for posting. Available to purchase very soon.
It was an absolute delight to attend the MG Tyne Tees Club rally which culminated by the green at Durham Cathedral. Not only was it a pleasure to meet up with Peter Ebdon again (Chairman of the MG Club Tyne Tees Centre) and his wife Lyn and their members, but it was wondeful to have the opportunity to photograph such a wonderful dispaly of old and new MG vehicles. One of the oldest vehicles has recently taken 40 years (YES THATS RIGHT 40 YEARS) to reconstruct. How dedicated is that?.
The members were a great bunch and made me feel very welcome. I wish to thank Peter and his wife Lyn for inviting me along.
Below are just a very small number of images - there are alot more to view on my web site:

Earlier this month I took photographs of a band made up of students from ESPA college in Sunderland. Emma Geldart the music Tutor at the college arranged for the students to play their first gig at the Quayside Exchange in Sunderland. The students played brilliantly and done Emma proud as well as themselves, their parents and friends. Below are a handful of images taken at the venue unfortunately it wasnt possible to seek permission from the students to allow me to put images of them playing on this or, my web site. However, what I have attached are several pictures of Emma and other talented staff members from the college who were the warm up act to the big event.
My new 13 page A4 2012 wall Calendar is now on sale for £8.50. The calendar contains many of the North East's iconic images, please refer to article written earlier to view the images in the calendar.
