It was wonderful to go and see nine different schools from across […]

Having your own space
I am one of the few consultants in my field (arts & culture/not for profit), who has their own website. I have love affairs with social media and then stop. I invest lots of time Tweeting and sharing links. I post lots of photos. And then stop. I’ve had a lot of thoughts about Instagram, […]
Thurrock 100th Parkrun
This weekend the Thurrock Parkrun celebrated its 100th run, just a few weeks before its two year anniversary. I was invited along to photograph the run, as well as Griffin Estate agents presenting a cheque for the Community First Responders for them to buy an Automatic External Defibrillator – which are popping up across high […]
Soul of a nation
Visiting the Tate’s Soul of a Nation exhibition reminded me how important art is, how it has the power to show others how things are, highlighting what is happening, both positive and negative. This is an extremely well curated show, with the first rooms shocking in their intensity and the outright hatred and violence that […]

Love Grays
I was commissioned to cover the Love Grays event, organised by Metal and the Grays Town Partnership initative this weekend. There was so much to see and do and I loved seeing the joy around the High Street. There are more of my photos over on the Love Grays Facebook Album I am happy to […]
BHAGs!
As part of my three week down time in December I spent a lot of time reflecting on the past year and where I wanted this year to go. I identified my key word: luminous; and core feelings: creative, well, devoted to the divine and peaceful. I figured out my intentions for the year, some of […]
