Supermarket in Leeds - I think I took this the last time it wasn’t raining, which already feels like months ago.

You know you’re old when there’s elements of your childhood in a museum!! Not the TV - they’d moved on a bit by the time my memories started, but that wallpaper - I remember that stuff!!

Riverside walk in York. The Foss is really overgrown this year. Going back in my memory, in the 80’s it always used to be more like a swamp than a river. It used to look like you could walk across it

From a recent trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Giraffes make me anxious. They always look like they’re one bad step away from a broken leg!

The woods where we walk the dog are quite photogenic. I’ve not had time to do project work in the last few months, so I’ve had to settle for carrying my camera wherever I go and grabbing what I can. There’s a whole blog post of October images on my website (link in bio) #photography #thephotohour

It's been a busy few months, both with work & with family & friends. I've not really had a great deal of time to go out & take photographs 'with intention', but here's a random selection of images representing the last month.

August, September and the first week of October have been busy with work work. It’s been a bit of a struggle to keep all the plates spinning to be honest. My own work has been neglected for most of the summer.
I need to get out and make some personal work!

This pretty much encompasses the life of us ‘jobbing photographers’.
Maybe one day a few of us will get on a raft and and break into photoland :-)

Shameless plug here, as this is my wife, who wrote, illustrated and published these herself. The story was in today’s ‘Perthshire Advertiser’. She’s also written crime fiction, ‘The Glens of Carnegie’, which I read every draft of for about ten years prior to publication!

We were staying in Dorset and on our way back from a trip out to the Isle of Wight, so took a small detour to take some photographs of the wild horses & ponies on Dartmoor.
