I've just finished a short course in digital marketing. Here's some notes I made about the history of digital marketing, and the Internet in general...  It's been reported that in 1978 Gary Thuerk from the Digital Equipment Corporation sent 400 electronic messages to potential clients who were using Arpanet devices. This may well be the first example of digital marketing via the Internet. By the 1990s, email marketing was commonplace, but the volume of sales emails led to the term "spam" being used for the first time in relation to emails. After other privacy directives, in 2018 the Europ ..read more

I was pleased to have a double-page spread with an interview and three photos in the August 2023 issue of Marie Claire magazine, alongside photos by Shin Noguchi. Many thanks to Shin for sending me the spreads, and to the magazine for featuring me, and posting me a physical copy (and paying me). My stormtrooper photo was taken on Weymouth prom this year; the horse is in the New Forest; and the laundry scene is in that London.   ..read more

This photo series is the result of about 30 daytrips I took to Brighton in 2013. It’s a place I know very well, having grown up in Sussex in the 1970s, and I lived in Brighton – not very successfully – in the 1990s. The project is important to me because it was a rare occasion where I had a strong idea about how I wanted the collection of photos to end up, and the atmosphere I was looking for, and I keep coming back to the photos I took in 2013. I was examining the town from the point of view of the long-term residents – the everyday experiences and scenes that confront Brighton residents. I w ..read more

This is the only Weymouth photo I’ve seen from Tony Ray-Jones – either in print or online. I first saw the photo online on social media to advertise the 2013/4 exhibition, Only in England: Photographs by Tony Ray-Jones and Martin Parr at the Science Museum in London. It was given as “location unknown” but is clearly The Tea Cabin in Weymouth. The Cabin has changed a great deal, but the notches in the chimneys on the far right give a definite identification – they haven’t  changed. The Victoria, Liverpool sign was taken about 20 years ago, and was kicking around in a car park for a while ..read more

Melplash Show, 25 August 2022. This one-day country show is always a great event and famously blessed with good weather just about every year. Normally, I would get to the show at about 9am to witness the animal judging, which is over by mid-day. Unfortunately, this year I couldn't get to the show until noon, so I only caught the tail end of that... In the few hours I was there, I was satisfied that my photos had captured the flavour of the event. Heavy horses area, with life belt. Judging goats. Snapping prize-winning sheep. Goats on display.
