Welcome To 40 Years Of Photography
To those of you that know me you may recall that wherever I went - my camera came with me. 40 years on I'm now getting round to organising, developing and scanning all of my photos. Please bare with me as I sort through the 100's of 35mm & 120 roll film negative sheets. If you want to be notified of any new photo albums as they go on-line just click on the button below #enjoy
As my memory is not what it used to be, you may find that some of the names, information and/or dates that I have used are incorrect. Please do get in touch if you can shed any light on some of this info.
You can digitally download whole photo albums. Alternatively can download individual photographs. All you have to do is copy the title of the photo into the form that you will find on each of the album pages.
For the most part all albums are sorted chronologically. Alternatively you may wish to search via some of the keywords listed below
The Coming Of Age
Turning 18 years of age was a real turning point in our lives. No longer did we have to suffer the indignity of turning to our girlfriends to buy us alcohol. We now had an air invicibility and freedom as we moved between the pubs and bars of Stratford Upon Avon.
I Am Curious Orange
When we heard that Mark E Smith from The Fall and the enfant terrible of ballet - Michael Clarke, were coming together to perform at the Sadlers Wells theatre it was too good a gig to pass up. This dance extravaganza loosely themed around sectarianism, queer politics, and post-punk ideologies married with the set design portfolio of Leigh Bowery, for me has never been surpassed #youngguns
Jammy & Jenny's Wedding
With a backdrop of the Bancroft Gardens, Jenny & Jammy's wedding was the perfect tonic for us all as we traversed our rather uncertain futures. This marriage of diverse minds and backgrounds resulted in a thumpingly good reception at the Alveston Manor where, lots of wine and beer was ceremoniously spilt.
Anti Apartheid March
Marching across Westminster under the socialist workers banner felt a long way away from the comfort of the Bancroft gardens. We were passionate, slightly overwhelmed, outspoken and compelled to take part in an outpouring of emotion that ultimately led to the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990. Black lives for us have always mattered.
Burton Dassett Hills
The prospect of driving from Stratford Upon Avon through Kineton and then onto the Burton Dassett Hills in Rik Pugh's turbo charged Mini Metro was one that we just couldn't pass up.
Woodland Chess
The beauty of chess is it can be whatever you want it to be. It transcends language, age, race, religion, politics, gender, and socioeconomic background. That's why we loved playing it so much in so many different spaces.
The Vintner Christmas Celebrations
When I visit the Vintner Wine Bar today I hardly recognise the place. This once intimate, edgey drinking house frequented by the 'school of cool' and that used to attract the likes Ian McKellen, Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart in between performances down at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, is today a very different place.
Road To Tarsus
Tarsus Kebab shop had to serve one of the best kebabs in Warwickshire and the road to getting there was full of surprises, festivities and new found friends. Not mention the yellow Citroen 2CV that we requisitioned to help us get there ..
UCA Farnham Ball
Being part of the BA (Hons) Animation, Film & Photography course at UCA Farnham, one of Europe's premier degree courses was, at times, an insane experience. The animation program established in 1972 by the British Oscar winning animator Bob Godfrey was the first degree course to specialise in the academic study of animation.
The Bard's Back Garden
Visiting Stratford Upon Avon in the summer made for a refreshing break from the rigours of University. It was also a good opportunity to catch up with friends, drinking partners and fellow cricketers, who on this year, came away with a win whilst playing for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company cricket team.
Queens Park Party
When the stars align and you end up at what you think is the 'coolest' party in London, everything and everyone around you seems familiar. The invincibility of youth alas cannot be repeated as we reach for our pension pots. Photography however does get quite close ..
The Merchant Of Wine
The Vintner Wine Bar never really lived up to it's lofty title of 'maker of wines'. It did however sell it - a lot of it, mostly to the army of tourists on their way down to the RSC theatre between the hours of 5.30 and 7pm. Alongside the list of microwaveable meals, salads and jacket potatoes it's rather small but perfectly formed kitchen didn't really allow for the staff to 'stretch out' and indulge in the creativity that is cooking. We had a good time trying though.
Northern Exposure
Living in London in the early 1990's had its limitations, especially when you had little or no money. So when the opportunity comes along to jump onto the 'Sunshine Bus' and head up to the North Yorkshire Moors National Parks for a well deserved break, we all jumped at the chance. What better way to spend a 'lost' weekend sitting in the pub garden of the Horseshoe Inn, Levisham drinking Theakstons Old Peculiar on tap.
Kite Flying Kicks
On a beautiful summers day in the heart of London's Hampstead Heath we collectively imagine what it is like to fly - and it feels good. Despite the strings on the kites taking an eternity to un-pick, we find altitude. Plenty of it.
Boscombe Beach Bash
Whilst studying for a post graduate qualification at the Arts University Bournemouth we discovered the beach , and in so doing discovered how to enjoy 'life'. Never have we felt so free and uninhibited then when we visited Boscombe beach which was only a short walk away from where we were living.
Heyworth Happenings
Inspired by the expansive nature of this Victorian building and before it was carved up into flats, the Heyworth Road House located in the heart of Hackney proved to be a hot bed of art, culture, dance, photographic musings and music.
Lost In Islington
After a very successful period working alongside Mike Boudry and the Computer Film Company on Berwick street, LIS decided to move uptown to Islington where we ended up sharing an office with the godfather of desktop publishing - Neville Brody.
Lost In Xmas
I never questioned how much money Lost in Space was making at the time of these photographs. Thinking back to the good times that we had, the venues that we visited together with the clothes that we purchased during the course of our reign as the 'go to' studio for animation & visual effects in the UK, I'm certain it was quite substantial. Good times had by all #rollercoasterriders
Escape To Six Flags
After a punishing week at work what better way to escape the hustle and bustle of lower eastside Manhattan in New York city. The Tom Cody crew couldn't get enough of the wild rides that made up much of this exhilarating amusement park.
Downtown Cleveland Ohio
Living in a town called Strongsville you couldn't have asked for a more American suburb - and not unlike a scene out of David Lynch's film 'Blue Velvet'. Here my Uncle Fred on my fathers side, Auntie Pam and cousin Christopher lived amongst the fire flies that came out in the summer #goodtimes
Twin Towers View
Climbing the twin towers was one of the highlights of our stay in the big apple. The view over Manhattan Island allowed us to get a an overview of the neighbourhoods, villages, highways and sub cultures that made up this bustling city that never slept. Nor did we ..
East Village Antics
Living on East 9th Street had it's benefits. Not only was it within easy access to the Tom Cody pose in the heart of Manhattan Island but it was also within easy reach of the infamous West One bar where the measures were large and the subsequent evening celebrations were long. Very long. #goodtimes
A Coney Island For The Mind
Working at the Style Council in New York came with it's fair share of perks. One of these was Coney Island - backdrop to one of my all time favourite films 'The Wanderers' and home to the famous Cyclone and Thunderbolt roller coasters rides. So when Minnie's brother - Khaled, came to stay, we couldn't resit.
Tour De Yorkshire
The Tour de Yorkshire Ride is a unique opportunity for cyclists to ride through Thirsk and the surrounding villages, experience the Tour de France legacy and to pave the way for the pro riders. Thousands take part in the charity event, making it one of the biggest sportive events in the UK calendar.
Kineton Reunion
A gathering of class mates and colleagues form Kineton High School. The tour of the school during the day revealed that nothing much had changed. It was good to go back.
