London Marathon 2010

My flatmate and friend Dan Rushton ran in the London Marathon getting a great time of 4hrs 8mins, I went down and met with a group of friends to give him my support and of course; document it with my camera!

While I was there I captured quite a few bizarre costumes - and Richard Branson!

British Summertime (BST+)

As soon as England has an even mildly warm day in the spring the beach at Bournemouth is filled with scantily clad teenagers and sprawling families, I popped down on Saturday for a road trip to visit friends and took a few pictures along the way. Almost every beach town in the UK has a vaguely tacky seafront with grubby fish and chip shops giving way to seedy amusement arcades and pubs, Bournemouth is no exception and the worn wooden huts and signage make you wonder when this place was ever brand new.. but all of this can only add to the charm of a trip down to the seaside; the sunburn, the icecream, the abstract gambling for kids.. its all so English..

Abandoned

My friend Adam took me to an abandoned petrol station in Northampton on Sunday - a fantastic opportunity to take some unusual images - the place was tucked away down an abstract sliproad out of the way of prying eyes and no... the tricycle was not a prop, someone left it there (!?)
