It’s been a little while since I’ve blogged, so time to give you all an update on whats been going on.

It’s been a busy couple of months for me, I’ve been all over the country shooting clubs for MixMag which has been fantastic. In recent weeks I’ve been to Dundee, Leicester, London, and most recently Bristol. It may come as no surprise that London is the best place for taking photos, its always someway ahead of the rest of the country in terms of style, music, and general fashionable vibes. That’s not to say that other cities are in the dark ages, there are a lot of great clubs outside London that are pushing the boundaries outside the Capital.

I’ve been providing photos for the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) since the summer- covering all their fundraising events, family days, and presentations. You can see pics from the 0808 Festival and Infinity Festival which I covered for them in the galleries. Their biggest fundraising event of the year is “The Walk to Cure Diabetes” which is a sponsored 5K walk held all over the country, with the West Midlands event being held at Drayton Manor. Unfortunately the day was a complete wash out, and all the exciting activities normally done outside such as the warm up, tea coffee and registration were all crammed into the circus tent.

They had planned for me to go up in a cherry picker to get some great aeriel shots, however the rain kept everybody inside until the start and this was a no go. The rain failed to dampen the spirits of the hundreds of people that turned up, and with the release of a large amount of balloons, everybody marched onwards in force. Many people had formed teams, and there was a lot smiles and cheeriness all day long. Despite the awful weather and cramped conditions, I was still able to get some great shots from the day, and it was really helped by the enthusiasm of everybody involved.

In between this I have been going back to the University of Birmingham from which I graduated last year, to give some talks, presentations and workshops to the Photographic Society. I’ll be covering quite a few topics, and I’m hoping to part as much of my knowledge, wisdom, and tips as possible. My aim really is to generate as much enthusiasm for photography and making great pictures as possible. It wasn’t too long ago that I was a member myself, and its a wonderful opportunity to be able to give some back.

I’ve also been finding time to go out in Birmingham, highlights this month include Drop Beats Not Bombs, Ultra+, and Habit. Coming up I’ll be covering Ultra & Excentric on the 22nd Nov at the Rainbow Warehouse, which should be huge. Atomic Jam are also returning on the same night to celebrate their 13th birthday, I’ll try and pop across ad have a looksee.
