BECT
Saw this building in Cardiff, it reminded me in a way of middle America.
Justice Building

Justice Building at Spinningfields in Manchester, this area has undergone major re development resulting in a really pleasant cosmopolitan area of cafés, bars and outdoor screen for summer.

Yellow Crane Multi Exposure
This was a multiple exposure shot, taken with my holga. It's one of my favourite shots to date as it encompasses everything I was trying to achieve during my degree. I intend to do a series of multi-layered shots this year.
Cornerhouse Pink
A different take on the Cornerhouse Cinema/Galler/Cafe/bar place in Manchester.
Oct 15th 231
This was taken as part of an exercise for college, to show shallow depth of field. Meg just sat their unperturbed (and pretending to sleep) as I snapped away.
Golden Gate Bridge
This was taken on my backpacking trip across the US. I took the ever clichéd boat trip across San Francisco bay, around Alcatraz and snapped this on the way back. Found the negatives a few months back.
Rachael
This is my favourite portrait to date. It was taken quite candidly at a flickr meet of Rachael. I just love how natural everything is from the lighting to the pose.
Meg & Ball
Action shot of Meg. This was using an old manual 135mm lens I inherited from my dad, the clash of manual and digital/electronic equipment seems to give all the photos taken with it, a wonderfully shallow depth of field.
Ducks
Zen, peace, tranquillity.

Ducks at Lyme Park, Cheshire.
Fog City Diner
This was taken during my backpacking trip across the US. I loved the clichéd retro look of the diner, to me it was "typically American", I guess the same way people view the queen and red phone boxes. I also loved the reflections of the surroundings of the foliage, creating a patterned effect.
Empty Tables
This is outside the Royal Exchange in Manchester City Centre. It reminds me of Parisian Café.
Catmask
This is probably my favourite 'street photograph', taken candidly at the Protests against Scientology in Feb 2008. The protesters wore masks and various other disguises to protect their identity for fear of retaliation.
