My daughter in law Stephanie Stewart is a TV and film make up and special effects artist who has been in the industry for a while in her native Canada. Having married my son Graham, settled over here and giving me a beautiful grand daughter, Victoria, she’s getting back to […]
Had a great time at Kenton Synagogue giving a talk last night. The subject was my 45 years as a press photographer and some of the pictures I’ve taken and the events that I’ve covered. Great to talk to a packed hall and the Q7A went on for over an […]
Well the last thing I was thinking about at the moment was using the Fujis, but as they say it’s an ill wind that blows no good, what I mean to say is I’m ill with sort of thing (Laryngitis, cold etc.) that you expect in January, not supposedly flaming […]
Visitors and those just passing through Richmond Park were treated to an amazing sight that would bring joy to any horse lover as mid summer’s evening saw the first “Pimms In The Park Mid Summer’s Ride”. The ride was the first of its kind, organised by The Royal Parks, and […]

Great day in Hyde Park, an exclusive photo shoot in front of Kensington Palace with Roy(al) and Aragon two of the shire horses of Operation Centaur, the last working herd of shires in London. It makes great sense to use the horses for this kind of work and they really […]
