Finally! I got around to dragging my sorry arse back to the stock car racing to continue the project I started nearly a year ago. Here’s a taster.
Really need to track down some women drivers.

Driving back to Norfolk after a job in London one evening in early summer, I stopped in Thetford Forest for a dusky, river bank wander - I took pictures until it was too dark too focus.

One of those glorious March days that comes out of nowhere - windless, cloudless and hot sun.
Perfect weather for heading out to sea for Farmdrop, taking pictures of their suppliers. In this case the fishermen of Lyme Bay.
This is Gav, a crab and lobster fisherman - a really warm character, funny as hell and with a lovely West Country burr.

Arctic Surfing. I was in Iceland in August taking pictures for a feature on the Icelandic economy for EasyJet Traveller magazine. Here are some shots of Hreinn Elías co-founder of http://arcticsurfers.com/ One of the many small businesses thriving after the banking crisis.
We headed to a spot a few miles out of Reykjavik to take the pictures, you can see in the background of the last shot that were actually f-all waves there that day.

My first visit to the stock car racing at the Norfolk Arena in Kings Lynn. Wow!
The racing was pretty wild, but the pit area was something else! Hundreds of dirty people grouped around various rigged up arc lights, working on their cars with sledge hammers, angle grinders and welders. Reminiscent of scenes of medieval army camps in films.
I’ll be going back throughout the season, shooting reportage, but hopefully getting some good portraits too. Just need to work out a simple, portable lighting rig.

Having seen an exhibition of beautiful Richard Young prints, I’ve been thinking about printing photographs using ink in one way or another. After looking around for a bit I found a photolithography course at The Curwen Print Study Centre which I duly attended and this is my first effort.
A bit of refining needed, but I’m going to slowly start on a series of “architectural” Norfolk landscapes.

A shot of the American Ambassador, Matthew Barzun, at his lavish residence - Winfield House in Regents Park.
A very interesting and lively chap, he did a lot of good work for Obama’s presidential campaign.
Taken for the Financial Times in February.
