Fort Cochin, India

2009-06-04T10:17:00.000-07:00

I've just been cleaning up some shots from my travels in India. I spent a few days in Fort Cochin, Kerala which turned out to be very different to what I was expecting. In general the area was quite expensive (for Indian standards), and very touristy. I ended up spending most of my time there hunting out cheap local eateries, drinking beer decanted from a teapot, and spent each evening at the harbour photographing the fishermen around the Chinese fishing nets which line the water front.

Mallorca sequences

Milton Keynes

2009-05-23T06:58:00.001-07:00

For 6 months in the last year i've been living and working in Milton Keynes shooting room sets. Milton Keynes is one of the strangest places i've ever been. One bonus is that its ace for skating, so a few friends came to visit while the Matix team were in town for a days skating.

Tilla, Fs Smith.

Kambala

2009-05-18T12:52:00.000-07:00

After a stint of freelance studio photography, working in the industrial estates of Milton Keynes, I decided to take a break over xmas and new year, spending 2 months backpacking round south India with my Mamiya 645 and a load of film. One of the highlights of my trip was spent watching kambala (buffalo racing) in a little village called Miyar in Karnataka.
Here's a few shots from the day
