Glasvegas.
A band very close to my heart, as people and as songwriters. Visiting Glasgow is liking visiting a 2nd home for me. A total and absolute pleasure to be able to have shot the new promo’s for them.
I spent all last week in Mayrhofen shooting the official Snowbombing gallery! Check out the highlights!
Chino Moreno and Jason Butler shooting the shit for a Kerrang Feature. It was both an honour and a pleasure to listen to these two talk about their early days in LA.

I saw this doing the rounds on the official PV tumblr, so time to put it on mine! Rather than reblog with all their notes, I want to stick up this 16:9 ratio image, I just can’t get enough of editing in this aspect at the mo.
Very close to where I live, and for me to get anywhere, I pass over a canal bridge and past Pickwell and Arnold Boat Builders. For the past 4 or 5 years, I’ve had a growing sense of curiosity of what and who lies behind the Boat Builders doors.
I’m not sure why but I’ve been worried that if I knocked on the door, I’d get refused… So for some reason I left my curiosity just that…
Then today, out the blue, I headed down there.
And I couldn’t have been more warmly welcomed. I met a really lovely chap that offered me an honest and open invitation to stop by and shoot him at work anytime I saw the workshop doors open.
This is Martin of Pickwell and Arnold Boat Builders. Martin has been a Shipwright for 40 years, and his business has been here for the past 20.
He’s just finished refurbishing a beautiful little boat Gracie, she needed a new hull, and is destined to continue to ferry day trippers up and down the Rochdale Canal from the Stubbing Wharf pub.
The last full boat that was built here, was finished back in 2011, and at the moment there are no full builds on the horizon. Martin was telling me the trade has seen a massive decline in recent years, non more so than in the past 12 months, with the american boat sales seeing a 20% drop, and for the first time in years rumours the London Boat show might not happen next year.
The workshop was the kind of place you dream about discovering as a kid. Shafts of light illuminating the dusty air reveals machinery as beautifully constructed as the things they are supposed to make.
There are 20 years of graft and toil, a life time of work within these walls, and I’m really looking forward to taking Martin up on the invite and see him at work. One of the last of his kind, a working Shipwright.
I’ve seen the Deftones a number of times but always at festivals, this was the first indoor show ever for me! And I have to say, it was absolutely incredible. The best I’ve ever seen them.
This is a shot from a shoot I did with The Heartbreaks, I’m not sure if it ever saw the light of day, but I came across it last week and loved it. Thought it deserved an outing.
