Following an unusual sequence of unrelated events, I’ve suddenly found myself three camera club talks booked for 2014, so I might as well formally offer my services on here to camera clubs or anyone else who is interested! Please contact me via the comments box.

Title

Mechanical Landscapes – Exploring the Industrial North

Synopsis

The talk is approximately 90 minutes and is a wander through the remnants of the northern industrial landscape. Covering a diverse selection of sites such as the enormous slate quarries of Snowdonia, abandoned textile mills in Lancashire and Yorkshire, a disused underground coal mine, the bizarre landscapes of active steelworks, beached passenger ships, as well as unique views of the inside of derelict cooling towers, this talk is somewhat different from the majority of camera club talks. The images are predominantly black and white, with splashes of colour.

I can also talk on other subjects that I’ve written about or photographed, or customise the talk to specialise on certain themes – contact me to discuss.
