By day, I graft in an engineering consultancy as a Graphics Designer and by night I take off the glasses, slick back the hair, roll up the sleeves and moonlight as…Don Johnson in Miami Vice. Kidding. Actually as a Photographer, Designer and person of all things graphicy. Based in Northern Ireland, for the past 9 years I have been honing and developing my forte in graphic and design - ranging from 3D modelling, photoshop, illustrator to Indesign publications.

First Saturday in a while I haven't been to a bike race so Justine and I headed away to Newcastle for a drive and I managed to pack the camera for some snaps on the way. Just a few, the mournes and scrado tower shots. Enjoy. S
This was taken at a school in Saintfeild when I was out getting architectural shots of an extension. You just walk past these things but the light was perfect and a blue sky for a change made me take this shot.

A few photos from a Hallowwen party at Haskin view!!! Remember if your going to have a drink hide the camera before you passout!!!!. Great Party but such a sore head the next day. I will post some more when I get them.
This all start with Paul talking about a Clan team on Call of Duty 4!!! Sometimes things go to far! Check it out on www.wildpixel.co.uk/tats, by the way I am second in from the right.
I have lived on the coast since I was knee high to a grasshoper and I have never seen waves in the Ards area like this before. At some points the waves broke twice the height of the street lighting on the harbour. It was that impressive I even got Justine to come out of the warm house to watch it for a while. The BBC used the shots and they also ran with the article on the BBC NI website. View the Gallery
Congratulations to Paul and Dawn and we all wish them best for the future, not that they need it. Thanks to Pauls Uncle Stephen who took most of the photos for this gallery.
Better late than never, my very fearless other half and Julie (again fearless or just mad) had that light blub moment and signed up for a parachute jump with the Wild Geese SkyDive. Both landed and both can't wait to get back up and do it all again.
Superfreakz at the Brightnewsounds final in Dublin. Who's Superfreakz.... The band was formed early in 2006 with a strong belief something different could be achieved. All members knew each other from doing a music course some years before but Superfreakz was the band to bring their combined talents together for the first time. Check them out at www.myspace.com/thesuperfreakz
Pete Bennett (Big Brothers Pete) played at the Black Box on Sunday 7th Sep and I was clicking away, you would think with the motorsports photography somebody standing in a band would be easy..... far from it!! Pete jumps all over the place and pulls some faces, absolutely brilliant for photos but damm its hard to get a quality shot without using the flash gun. I have put a few in a gallery for you to take a quick look at. If you want an image please just ask, my email is at the bottom of the page. View Gallery

If you have never seen Trials before make a point and head down next year for the day, its amazing what these guys can do!
