Useful place for meeting bands and seeing what their fans think of the pictures. But, it's all Facebook these days. I'll post my link there soon - as soon as I remember what it is. Some good photopraphy forums on Facebook too. If you like talking photography, join up and join in.
I won't say anything before you've looked round Ami's site yourself - but you must see the Flash intro. Make sure the sound is on. I admire Ami's work, what she sees and the fact that she cares enough to go looking. This is photography at work: where it's needed. Ami does it so well. We've never spoken, emailed or anything but I know I'd like her if (when) we do.
Karen's talent and passion for her craft shows through in every picture. Have a look round her site and you will see why I am drawn to her work. She's a good friend and an inspiration.
My lovely friend Lucy. See her amazing child portraiture and wedding work. Better still, book her for some work ...
Nath has been a mate for a few years now after I met him when I was photographing a band in his recording studio. As you can imagine, bands know what they want and are pretty picky over who they let near their sound when it comes to recording and production. Nath has a big and growing list of musicians who have found just what they want. He's got a band himself - look up manic minor and check them out. I'll find a link shortly.
He runs his new studio with his girlfriend, Sarah Grant. It's a cool place. Watch this space for some pictures soon.
See the fabulous work of illustrator Chris Burke (Cartoonist of the Year 2000) on his 'site for sore eyes', including his well-known Town Murals for Ottakar's Bookshops. Chris's work is in the permanent collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum and his clients include The Times, Comic Relief, Marks & Spencer, The Radio Times, Dawn French, Penguin Books, Virgin and Vogue. Don't miss the movie at the bottom of his 'colour' page (click on the pig!).
All images speak. These shout.

So do these ...
This to me is what photography is really about. Stills that move us.
