About me and this blog

This is me picking up a Webby Award in New York - for Best Community Website

So, a successful web producer, journalist, photographer and creative … As can be seen in the photo to the left, of me picking up the Webby Award for the Best Community Site in 2006.

The real deal

I currently work as a producer and journalist for the BBC, based out of BBC Radio Cumbria, producing the BBC Cumbria website and the local version of Video Nation: So please note the opinions and views expressed on this site are my own and not those of the BBC!

Previously, I’ve worked as an undertaker and embalmer, cleaned cars in a garage, worked in factory making biscuits, went back to college as a mature student and worked for a local council in their communications department.

Blogs

Currently, I’m running three blogs, all to do with photography in one form or another:

• Lenswork – a general blog on photography and imaging, and anything else really!
• Photocumbria – Images of the people, the sights and views of Cumbria
• Polacumbria – Deals with my photographic passion – Polaroids. This is where I’ll post and detail my Polaroid adventures and frequent failures with that medium.

I have plans for a fourth blog, dealing with food, but it’ll have to wait until I come with a name I like and that someone else hasn’t snaffled!
