Just felt obliged to share this photograph I took of my dog Dylan. Sitting in the car down the beach, waiting for the rain to stop so I could take him out for his morning walk.

Not often I just post one photo, but this is beautiful. See the original on Flickr.

Just had to share these photos of typography in and around New York City. Taken by a friend of mine, Maxine (wander_by_trade), they show a bewildering variety of typography based subway signage, posters, general signs as well as decades old wood and stone building engravings. Not to mention the odd appearance of Helvetica.

This is just a sneek peek of a logo and identity design I recently completed for a wedding photography studio, ‘Illumina’. The Sneek Peek is to provide an initial view of the logo images and is linked to my portfolio. An in-depth ‘logo design process’ post will be done in time brief and to the point information on that design. It will be linked to the images currently existing in my portfolio.

This is Part Two (Part One) of a collection of recent faces on MonoExpression. A fun photographic based creative side project that I set up last year. It’s goal: to collect as many black & white portraits of creative souls. For no other reason than, because I can, I love photography and I especially love black & white portraits. Here are ten portraits I picked to show you what is going on over there.

Snow in the UK, a week before Christmas is a treat. I don’t know many dogs that don’t enjoy the snow, Dylan for one goes pretty berserk. So with a fresh fall of snow over night, we both wrapped up warm and headed out into the early morning white covering for a walk and some photography with my newPanasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7.

Ever the keen photographer. I have been shooting pic’s since I got my first camera at age of about 8. I love exploring my vision through a lens, fascinated with shooting images that show how I see the world. I favour black and white, but will use colour when the colours are just too beautiful to ignore.

During a 3 month trek across Egypt, I spent some time in Cairo, visiting my friend Simon who moved over to Egypt from England several years back. Cairo was actually my first port of call before my planned trek, to take in as much of Egypt as possible. Spending a week, with a friend who knew the city was so helpful in ‘bedding’ me in to the culture and culture shock before heading off on my own.

These rusty textures are taken from Seaford beach, specificlally the iron sea defences at the bottom of Seaford Head. The colour and variety of textures and colours is really quite extraordinary. There really is bright oranges, reds and even hues of dark blue against the many layers of rust and flakes. So many variations, so many patterns.

Taken, as a lot of my photos are, locally. This is on Seaford Beach, just down from Seaford Head, a collection of small fishing boats that reside on the pebbles until time to go out and catch fish.

These are always the focus of many photographs, they are somewhat of a Seaford icon.
