I like to revisit old shoots from time to time and maybe re-edit or look at what didnt make the final cut the first time round. All of these pictures fall into this category.

New Year, New Me?

2011-01-08T07:46:00.011Z

Well, not really a new me. Same old guy in the same old packaging. Although I do have plans for 2011, big plans, as far as I am concerned, which stretch across both my personal life and professional life as a photographer in Carlisle, Cumbria.

I don't mind saying that part of that will involve moving from commercial photography starting up as a wedding photographer in Cumbria, which may not seem very original but I am looking to offer a package that's not yet offered in this fair county so watch this space...

Talking of wedding photography in Cumbria, I did actually, over December, shoot one in what can be described as the most challenging conditions made easier by a lovely atmosphere and welcoming guests and couple. Leo Baptist (http://www.leobaptist.com/) was helping me out on the day and was a total God-send considering I was thinking of tackling this wedding alone.

On a cold and dark December evening, we were really tested for our technical ability in a chapel where flash was permitted but wold have spolit the ambience of such an intimate affair.

Judge for yourselves.

Some Wedding Fair a few months ago

2010-06-19T10:44:00.004+01:00

Might venture into wedding photography at some point. It's a lot harder than people think though. ****Unprofessional Comments Removed****

I shoot fairs every now and then, chat to the stall holders and get a feel for the industry. This one was for Eden Valley Hospice.

Shot this lot at a gig at The Brickyard. Had to leave early cos I am tired and old. Bring on the violins. Was a good night though. Reagrds, to the Brickyard once again. Decent half page review of the gig; though not all of it true.

Almost 3 Months already?

2010-03-20T09:39:00.009Z

Has it been that long since I updated?
I am a year older, but no wiser with another birthday come and gone; moved into a a new flat, waiting on more unpaid invoices. Easy come easy go.

Anyhow......here are some gig shots from the Brickyard that Carlisle Living Magazine asked me for as they are doing a feature on Mark and Andy B who run this little gem of a venue.

Crowd Shots from Kendal Calling

2009-08-05T10:36:00.015+01:00

The attendees to these events are often times more interesting than the people they pay to see.

There's more on my other computer so when I boot that up I will upload a few more.

Ruby Blue Relaunch Party

Kendal Calling. Penrith 2009

2009-08-04T18:46:00.008+01:00

A sold out Kendal Calling tried out a new venue this year in the form of Deer Park on the Lowther Estate in Penrith. The sell out crowd of 6000 revellers were treated to 3 headlining nights of The Streets, The Zutons and Ash.
The atmosphere in camp was mixed; a plethora of youngsters unable to handle alcohol and inevitably, their bladders meant that the “family” camp-site was a god send to those who brought children as they were spared the ungodly image of teenagers and adults alike losing bodily fluids in inappropriate places due to the 6 or 7 minute queue that never diminished in size for the underestimated amount of porta-loos.

From a music point of view, Kendal Calling seems to have the play list almost right but it’s hard to distinguish who was hired as they are “en vogue” and who was there as they were cheap.
The Streets hit the headline stage very much on the coat-tails of preceding act Goldie Looking Chain. The energy and vibrancy of the Welsh rap collective was hard to emulate and Skinner and gang didn’t quite pull it off. Let’s hope they do better at V. But to be fair, GLC out-number them, seemed stacked up on E-numbers and don’t take them too seriously which is part of their charm. I loved them.
The Zutons met a similar fate on the second day of the festival having to follow Manchester band Twisted Wheel, whose loyal fan-base, including wankers throwing beer, seemed to have followed them up the M6 to the site at Hackthorpe.
The Zutons did as expected. The crowd, freshly inebriated following the Saturday morning hangover, were in a state of familiarity as the band belted out their best known tracks; perfect for the festival karaoke that ensued. The Zutons proved one thing; they are nicely graduating toward becoming stadium fillers and their popularity on this year’s festival circuit is proving that.
Veterans Ash, headlining the final night of the festival were always going to be a major coup for the organisers. Cleverly scheduling them for the Sunday and introducing day tickets for that day definitely added to the coffers.
The average age of Kendal Calling increased on that day as they paid a very reasonable £30 for full day access to the site and the hardcore Ash fans had no problem paying it. Ash was on stage and music had arrived.
Highlights of the secondary stages were not one, but two Howard Marks appearances, Lloyd from Coronation Street Dj-ing with Lister from Red Dwarf (oh the wit).

Carlisle scenesters Birds Vs Planes somehow managed, to me, the performance of the festival, despite numerous apologies from Jen regarding diminished voice resulting from a hedonistic night before. Consensus was that if she sounds like that after a heavy night it would be hard to imagine it any better when she brings her A-game. Why they are not signed yet will be one of the enigmas of the music industry. It’s the flip side to the “how did Samanda get signed” quandary.

I’ll not delve too much into KASMS being escorted off the festival grounds for damaging a hired drum kit. Bit of an over-reaction by someone that should be insured anyway. Go buy another.

By the way. Pie and chips was £7. Small pie, not alot of chips. Tossers. At least the ketchup was free though.

On the plus side, I met some nice photographers there. Which is a rarity. All but one was quite social but the one seemed to have led a sheltered existence.
Soon to be dad, Gideon from Manchester: top bloke, can't fault him. Oh except he looks offensively good in hats. Of which he appears to have a nice collection. My squat face looked at him with envy.. here's a link to his site..: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fromtheg
Jon, also from Manchester another top banana. Although his impressive beard left me with pangs of envy - having tried to grow one myself, I know how hard it is to get b=past the "scratching" stage. http://www.tdmphotography.co.uk/ will show his photography off.. the git is better than me too! :P
Andrew was a dude! Really nice bloke from Scotland shooting for Rex Features and what he doesn't know about photography isn't really worth knowing. http://www.highlandcow.com/welcome.html for more of his work.

Will pop up some pics at some other point.. not edited them all yet

Live and Ungagged

2009-08-04T18:34:00.005+01:00

I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph backstage at Live and Ungagged for Amnesty International, featuring, amongst others, Jason Manford, Tim Minchin, Robin Ince and Pete Firman

Not a huge fan of any of them to be honest but I was by the end of the night. Belly laughs made it almost impossible to control my camera shake so I gave up in the end and just shot some blurry pictures.. such is the way with charity work I guess!

Kasabian at The Sands Centre Carlisle

2009-07-21T09:41:00.010+01:00

So Kasabian came here last year. Around August. It was a concert for Teen Cancer. Good on them..

Not a bad gig either.. Sold out crowd and only a couple weeks notice to get the whole thing together so credit to The Sands Centre for sorting that out.

Stereophonics - Sands Centre Carlisle

2009-07-10T20:52:00.000+01:00

So these welsh dudes came into the Sands last year for a bit of Karioke - selfish buggers sang only their own songs..

Crowd seemed to like it though so can't complain.

Time to Play Catch Up!

2009-07-10T20:42:00.000+01:00

I guess first of all I will catch up with the gigs and studff I have shot since I moved here 18 or so months ago.

Bear in mind that I live in Cumbria, so it's not exactly rock and roll central. Nor centre of anything really but hey, some decent bands and gigs happen here from time to time (anyone remember the Ramones at Market Hall?)

Who knows where the people playing here will end up..
