Woodland Walk
Over the last few weekends, I’ve been for a few walks with family, to the woods. It’s a great time of the year for it. At this time of year he low golden sun comes through the trees in the late afternoon and creates a fleeting magic.
North Selby Mine
The Selby complex of coal mines was the last big development in the UK coal industry. North Selby Mine was one of five which made up part the £100m Selby Coalfield Complex, which also included Wistow Mine, Stillingfleet Coal Colliery, Riccall Mine, Whitemoor Mine and Gascoigne Wood Mine. The five deep mines spanned a 20 mile radius and were linked underground.

Hundred Acre Wood
In this Photo Essay, I have aimed to explore the profound interplay between nature and mystery, capturing the ethereal beauty of woodland landscapes shrouded in fog. The fog acts as both a veil and a canvas, blurring the boundaries between what is seen and what is imagined.
The Phonebox
The days when we used to rely on phone boxes seems a world away now. It’s almost as if we always had a phone in our pocket or bag. Rely on them we did though. When I was at University, every public phone seemed to have it’s own permanent queue of homesick students on an evening, waiting to call home.
Paris
I don’t think that there is anywhere in the world that I feel more comfortable than in Paris. I sometimes feel as though it’s my spiritual home. From my first visit, on a school trip at the age of 14 or 15 I’ve felt an affinity with the city. More than anywhere else I’ve ever visited, I feel at home just walking the streets and taking photographs.
