Fairwell to Michael Putland. As the post quotes, he pretty much photographed Abba to Frank Zappa. He also gave me my first job in the photographic world working at Retna pictures. Always had a fascinating Rock n' Roll story to tell and gave you the time to share tips on printing in the darkroom. I named a cat after him at one point too. I should say something cheesy that there's another flashbulb being fired up in heaven, however Mike, used halogen or natural lights. Will raise a glass to the man later with a mid 70s Stone's sound track. Hanging with the Putland, 2014 Blog link here  Guard ..read more

Very saddened to hear the news of the passing of Pete Cashmore. I had the pleasure of working with Pete in the days of Nuts magazine, I always admired that he kept the writing fresh, keeping the readers entertained. Fear not if Nuts wasn't your cup of tea as Pete penned his skills to the likes of the NME and the Guardian. I will be thinking about our old friend Pete today and will raise a glass to him later. A very talented writer and jovial critic to my music compilations. Here’s a picture of us in a Krankies sandwich, just an average day in the Nuts office which now feels like a lifetime ago ..read more

I took these outside Parliament, which at the time would have been the final week of this Brexit madness. I was intrigued by who the regulars were on both sides of the debate. Possibly as a start of a project or maybe just to record what is happening. As always with the British public, I met some interesting characters and I was asked for my opinion by a pro-Brexiteer,  I mentioned that it didn't really matter anymore, the country is divided ..read more
