Nothing special. Spring is finally here after a long, hard winter (I’m proper nesh these days) and I’ve just received a tonne of film this morning to shoot with. ‘Street photography’ is bloody hard, especially when you lose momentum, but I’m ready to dig myself back in. It’s almost a year now since I’ve given this work anywhere near enough attention. Time to channel my inner street urchin – if she still exists!
thank you for looking
Seeing as wordpress have made it so much easier to post photographs, here is a selection from the last few weeks or so. Nothing great…if you can’t devote hour upon hour to street photography then you can’t expect much back. Cheers!

42 Bus, Manchester. April 2012.
Over the last few months I’ve had to pass all my attention to the kind of photography that actually makes money/human baggage. It really shows in the films I’ve processed, which are completely void of focus. Metaphorically of course 
I’ll post what I can here and there..and refer to my bookshelf for a new inspiration 
Japan Camera Hunter is a cool website. When I found they were looking for some new articles, I decided to tie my brain down and empty it of some of those wandering thoughts that float without reason.
