Leeds and Manchester

I'm hoping to get exhibitions going for both Leeds and Manchester this spring. One of my cousins thinks she may have a good connection for Leeds and someone else has asked if I would do the cover for a magazine they're involved with in Manchester so this week coming I will be out with my camera in each of these places.

Has anyone got any suggestions for places in either city that could do with the treatment?

And I'd like to thank...

As we come to the year's end I would like to thank some of the people who gave these images the oxygen of publicity, through the newspapers or internet sites they write for.

This list is in no particular order.

Thanks to Chris Ratcliffe who edits the Hebweb, Norman Masters from the Hebden Bridge Times who put me on the front page our local paper, Sue Jueno from allthingseco, Tracy Stokes from ecostreet and Fleur from Natural Matters who all added info about the exhibition to their websites, Dan Illet from Greenbang and Leonora Oppenheim from Treehugger who both added articles on their news portals, Rachel Dixon from the Guardian who use one of my pictures as the lead for their December green "what's on", Shanshan Dong, the Environment Editor of the Guardian, who blogged about the images, Simon Garner from Metro who made the "Houses of Parliament" their pic of the week, Rowena Mason from the Yorkshire Post, who wrote the most comprehensive article to date, Megan Featherstone from the Halifax Evening Courier, whose full page article has provoked an interesting online debate about whether the pictures are crap and whether everyone in Hebden Bridge is on drugs!

The beginnings of the blog

Hi there!

I decided that it was about time I got a little blog going about my Climate Pics artwork.

As well as keeping anyone whose interested up to speed about what I'm doing, it will also help me keep track of my thoughts and plan my stuff!
