An installation by Wolfgang Buttress adorning the frontage of Biocity’s remodelled building in Nottingham, which was completed in 2017. Data taken from NASA satellites over a 26.5 day period has been used to program the patterns and intensity of ligthing of the fiber optic strands within the frontage – a very imaginative way of illustrating and bringing to life the results of the chemical […]

Ten of my favourite moments from photographing last month’s Notts Tweetup , which met at the Sir John Borlase Warren , with Will Jeffery making an appearance and providing music for the evening . There were also some taster sessions by the Masons and Burleigh’s gin brands on offer from the evening. Once again , a really enjoyable evening and one which I was more than happy to […]

A very laid back and relaxing evening spent with Notts Tweetup , meeting at Another? Wine Bar , with a range of prominent local businesspeople and personalities from the world of Twitter. Some very enjoyable antipasti was the food offering this time round – salami going down particularly well with me on this occasion…

A snapshot of the vibrant and colourful murals which were produced during the recent Beeston Street Art Festival , organised by Jeanie Barton and the Beeston Civic Society through a successful crowdfunding campaign.

A walk around the streets of Nottingham in amongst a rather snowy St Patrick’s Day – as the Beast From the East struck again for a second turn. This time around the weather varied wildly – bright sunshine turning into snow drifts and full-on blizzards within minutes and it was fascinating to see how people reacted , trying to find cover in amongst the […]

Earlier this week Nottingham had been caught up in very severe snowstorms as “The Beast From The East” – a cold front of Siberian origins swept across the UK , causing major disruption to cities and travel infrastructure – particularly within Scotland. The first seven images were taken walking around Nottingham City Centre late on Wednesday evening after I’d been helping out at Notts Tweetup . […]

Scoping the Council House , Sep 2014 About the image : I fully exploited the hexagonal facade of a car park along Mount Street in Nottingham to get a cheeky look at the Council House. A fascinating car park , with some interesting geometric forms in addition to the facade due to the supporting concrete beams – which I included in this image. I […]
