Marathon

Sitting by the side of the road in London’s St. James’ Park, waiting for my sister in law to hit the 25.5 mile mark. Her and a friend have raised over an amazing £6000 for their charity and have only got a few miles left to run. So… Get a move on! There is a…

Appointment to view TV

A while ago I mused about TV reviews becoming previews with the advent of iPlayer. At the time I recall there being a lot of noise about the coming of ‘on demand’ TV and how it would be the death of appointment to view TV. Well this might not relate to everyone but is certainly…

A Week of Action

Debate?, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. As well as fighting for the rights of the regular biker I was a passing onlooker to a G20 protester eviction. Although we were held back at a ‘safe’ distance by police I was able to snatch a few shots of the unfolding story where a group of protesters had…

Say No To Bike Parking Fees Rally

Say No To Bike Parking Fees Rally, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. I’ve been a little peeved for a while by the confusing and costly parking charges for motorcycles in Westminster.

My first CT Scan

Let me start by saying the scan was clear. I’m not fine, but the scan was clear… which is good… apparently. Anyway I wanted to tell you about my first CT scan. Over the years, being a clumsy arse with suspected asthma, I’ve had my fair share of x-rays. Legs, arms, ankles, wrists, back, chest…

mistersnappy, where have you been?

You may have been wondering why my ability to make social arrangements has gone down the toilet since I started work at Milo Creative. For the last 7 months I’ve been working on a series of fantastic films with fascinating people for 9 of the most respected museums in the UK. The project is called…

Return

Today was returns day. I had a niggle with a power cable for my MacBookPro. After having it for 6 months the Apple end of the power supply started to come away to reveal the bare wire. Potential health and safety disaster there! So I had to call those lovely folk at Apple who were…

February Snow

February Snow, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. When I was a kid I remember there being lots of snow. Lots and lots. Digging the car out kinda snow. Going sledging down West Heath in Hampstead kinda snow. I don’t recall everything grinding to a halt as much. I’m sure school stayed open, as I definitely remember…

For those about to rock…

For those about to rock…, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. On the night that the Astoria and Astoria 2 close their doors for ever, I’m taking a little trip down memory lane to 1995. Back in the days when I was a freelance photographer I photographed The Amps featuring Kim Deal at the Astoria 2. I…
