Strongbox Magazine Spring 2010

I was contacted a while back by the editors of Strongbox Magazine, asking if they could use one of my photos for the upcoming “Film only” issue of Strongbox.

Obviously I was hugely flattered by this, it’s a great magazine & I’m very glad to have even a small part in it.

The new issue of Strongbox is online now & not only is a full page of my work in there which I’m blown away about, but my name’s on the cover as well,

I’m going to be thinking I’m important all day now haha

the new issue is up here http://www.strongboxmagazine.com/issues/vol2iss1.pdf please take the time to click through and look at a great project from some people who’re in it for all the right reasons, and check out everyone else’s work in there too

I’m hoping to have some more work in the next issue of Strongbox as well, more information on that later though

Nike SB Fluff x Focus Skate store comp

A little more news today

A shortwhile back Nike SB announced the Fluff Bruin SB &  book project (http://www.fluff-sb.com/) and for those of you who’re regular vistors to hypebeast (http://hypebeast.com/2009/12/fluff-magazine-nike-sb-fluff-sb-book-sneakers-exhibition/ )

Focus skatestore http://www.focuspocus.co.uk/ ran a photography comp alongside the release with 2 categories, Skate & Non Skate.

I recently got confirmation from Graham at Focus that I’d got 2nd place in the Non Skate category & got a parcel of Nike SB goodies for it.

Huge thanks to Graham & Focus & Nike SB for everything!

Here’s the page on the Focus Media Division Blog about it   http://focusmediadivision.blogspot.com/2010/03/nike-sb-fluff-book-competition-winners.html

And here’s the shot I entered

NEWS NEWS NEWS – RELAUNCH

Ok, so I know I’ve horribly neglected this blog.

Truth be told managing to juggle all the rest of the stuff that’s been going on in my life, with new work and this project to work through my own work from the beginning has been an awkward thing to manage, so what I’m going to do is a rethink & a bit of a relaunch.

I’m no longer going to go through from right back at the beginning of my work.  I will be going back into the archives to post things I’m pleased with or that occur to me to post, so that element won’t be completely lost.

Photography wise I’m going to be focussing more on my more current work, because (at least as far as photography goes)  that’s what I’m mentally focussed on &  I won’t be having to try & keep jumping back and forth so much.

I’m sure that other items such as my effusive take on the Urban Art exhibition in Warrington (& I’m pretty sure you’re due a post about my appreciation for some of  Tony Scott’s work at some point soon) will be included as well & hopefully give a bit more of a rounded feel to the blog.

Thanks to those of you who are still with me out there, Here’s to the future and I hope you continue to enjoy my offerings
