Just a day out in Manchester.
I went for a walk in the city but tried to stay away from the busy streets, I saw strangers helping a stranger start a car and people waiting for trains. And on the way home I found someone in the market trying on shoes.

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.

Broad shoulders
Charlie at the Soup Kitchen, cooking, serving, cleaning often entertaining always with a kind word and a smile..I have lots of pics of Charlie but this back view of his shoulders seems to symbolize for me the work they take on and the weight they all carry.

The Flats
The Queens Park flats in Layton have been part of the Blackpool skyline since the 60s, their Brutalist architecture was loved by few and disliked by many and I always thought they were pretty ugly, they were also notorious for all sorts of bad things and I was continuously warned as a young girl growing…

Flowers Music & Food
Reading my twitter feed early yesterday I saw there was a community celebration being held at the Flag Market Square in Preston in response to the EDl protests so I quickly got ready and caught the bus to the city centre. Was surprised at how many police were on the streets but felt reassured that…
