In all, I recorded 18 conversations with various people from the photographic industry whilst at Focus On Imaging 2012. These recordings would stretch out for weeks if I included just 1 or 2 in each weekly podcast, so I’ve compiled them into a series of six 40-minute(ish) ‘Focus Extra’ shows for you. In no particular [...]

I was recently invited to the Private View of Golden Greats: Britain’s Oldest Olympic Gold Medallists – the exhibition of a collaborative project between Drew Gardner and Lucinda Marland. As you might expect from Drew, the show is a somewhat humble affair, which leaves the quality of the work to speak for itself. This is [...]
This week: I’m in the office, catching up after a hectic few days at this year’s Focus On Imaging. As many of you know, last week saw me make my yearly trip to Focus On Imaging, the UK’s largest annual imaging show, held at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre. In this week’s show, I’m taking a moment [...]
This week: I’m in Farnham, Surrey, where I studied for my degree in Photography many years ago.

A quick recommendation… Whilst on a last-minute trip to London yesterday, I found myself in and around the South Bank area. It was whilst visiting the Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall that I took the opportunity to have a quick look at this year’s World Press Photo 2011 contest exhibition.
A quick update for you, folks… If you listened to Episode #45 of The Active Photographer podcast, you will know that I was recently invited to go to Berlin with Manfrotto, to check out just what they’re up to with their global Interactive Photo Labs.

Keeping an open mind, this could be anything from contemporary photography to war-time poster art, an exhibition of kids toys through the years to classical masterpieces that time almost [...]
This week: I’m packing my bags ahead of a trip to beautiful Keswick in the Lake District. With the Keswick Mountain Festival almost upon me, it’s time to get my kit together before facing a 6-hour journey up-country. Over the course of several days, I will be photographing, podcasting, walking, kayaking, rock climbing and equipment [...]
This week: It’s the Easter Holidays here in the UK – a perfect time to visit a photographic museum. Situated just off the south coast, on the Isle Of Wight, Dimbola Lodge was the home of pioneering photographer Julia Margaret Cameron; today it is a fascinating museum, which offers a wonderful glimpse into the history [...]
This week: It’s the last of my Focus On Imaging interviews, and I’m also talking through the preparation of prints for a client. Simon Whitcomb is a south coast UK artist; he was at Focus On Imaging, creating some wonderful pieces for visitors to see and enjoy. We caught up, to talk about the parallels [...]

In no particular order and [...]
