Candid street images.
Candidly photographing random strangers on the street. Well, It’s been a wild few years! I’ve been co-founding and curating HIVEArts, an awesome alternative gallery space in Blackpool.

The car-park on Leopold Grove at the side/back of the winter gardens.. depending on which entrance you use.. has recently been demolished and of course I wandered down to see what I could see..nothing much to see..lots of big angry machinery and tons of twisted metal and dusty cement, bricks and rubble..
