THE BLOG

No, Countdown have not banned the BBC from reporting about former hosts of the Countdown show, they were reporting on an incident that was always going to happen at some point, and if I remember correctly has happened before when Richard “friday night shitely” Whiteley was a presenter on...

It is hard to believe, but for me, in a years time, the end of the Falklands War will be the same length of time since that event happened as the length of time between the end of World War II and my birth. Even though I was very young, I...

It has been reported in The Times that one suggestion put forward at The Leveson Inquiry in to phone hacking is a celebrity register that allows them to opt out of appearing in the media. Sadly if you want to read the article you are just going to have...

To be fair I have got most of the work I need to do done. And am just waiting on other people. Add to that I am on my lunch having coffee I thought I would find something to do with my hands. The problem is that Nero is...

There is no other way of putting it, but I am furious at the Business Enterprise Fund (BEF) that supposedly are set up to help business enterprises get off the ground with loans from them and also help with mentoring. Now fair enough, at the mention of business mentoring...

Most of Sunday has been dedicated to sorting out the design of my website because how it was before was far too buggy. That has meant I have had to spend time sorting out as much of it as I can, as weekends are the only real time I...

In my business one of the jobs that are linked closely to how well I have done with my business website design company Easybiz Limited is the ability to promote them better than many of my competitors. Some web design companies will build you a website and that is...

Well I have the set, an iPad, Macbook Air and iPhone 4S. I must say, I am pleased with every single purchase and they have taken what I do to a completely new stratosphere. Put simply there is nothing else that comes close to what Apple have, even though the...

One bit of work I finished recently for Easybiz Sites was the design of a website for Shire Fleet. I wanted to make it look as professional as possible (as I always do) and give it the feel of any well known brands that either sell cars and vans...

Well I got bored of the old look of the website and with my website always being the last on the priority list I have set aside a Sunday to do some work on it. I have decided to totally change the layout but it will take a few...

Well it has been a good year for ridding the world of scumbags. First it was Osama Bin Laden then US Citizen Anwar al-Awlaki and now the man that to put it politely has been a right royal pain in the arse to the British, Muammar Gaddafi has been captured and...

It came as a shock to hear that after a board meeting Peter Jackson resigned and the official website said he was doing this because of poor results. Let me state that I have no official information and but that sounds utter bullshit! Like most other sensible Bradford City...

The Met Police set an example to the rest of the country as kids in Liverpool, Nottingham, Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham join in the fun of looting shops and destroying property. In London the Met Police gave the green light by hiding around the corner from where destruction of...

This is the first of a new section on my website that will hopefully be helpful for people. I will be reviewing anything that takes my fancy, and with being a web designer that is expert in the art of SEO as you can imagine, this blog has a...

Last night (10.42pm GMT) while gazing out of the window I noticed what looked like two stars out of my window. The strange thing was the way they were paralle to each other. They could be seen for quite some time, but when I came back about an hour...

Sorry to break it to anyone thinking they are going to set up a business and sit back and watch the money roll in, but there is simply no substitute in life for hard work and putting your client needs first. As recently as this week I had to...

The debate has raged recently about former Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas and the denial of her right to name the footballer she had an affair with. The issue of the super-injunction has had lots of people talking about a subject very few people would raise an eyebrow about....

US Special Forces have killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan nearly 10 years after the September 11th terrorist act killed 1000’s in the USA. Osama Bin Laden who was the USA’s most wanted since 2001 is believed to have been identified and killed near a military base in Pakistan....

Sorry for the delay in getting these photo’s online. Have been very busy this week and catching up now by putting these online. Not all of them are perfect and I have also done some cropping and Photoshopping to get some images that were good but in my opinion...

I have been thinking a lot recently about religion and how life began as well as what the future holds and it has made me come to believe a few things based on the evidence we have. The very first is that it is as unlikely as it gets...

I got a bit bored a knocked this up for the Bradford City supporters that I know. One of the good things about photography is that I can take a photo and then do some work in Photoshop with it. I have a few versions of this Union Flag...

Since I am not exactly getting far and wide in my photography travelling, I decided to try my hand at taking some Rugby photos this time. Slightly different from football photo’s in that the ball seems to move faster from person to person, so when you have got your...

Some of the photo’s I took for Ces Podd and co at the Salsa event on Saturday night. Sadly I was unable to stay for the entire event as I had other engagements the following day. But I am allowing the photo’s to be used for free by Latin...

Just got a new lens for the Sony A33. It’s a 70mm-300mm telephoto lens with macro capabilities. So got to work on some random photo’s this week just to test it out. Ducks, aviation and dogs are just some of the things I have taken photo’s of.

Whilst taking photo’s I sometimes try and see if I can get half interesting photo’s of myself. Mainly because I spend most of my time taking photo’s of other people. So here are some self portraits (in landscape of course).

I took along Ronnie the Sony with me and Nat to see her sister Kim for Sunday lunch. The lighting was not the best for photography and I was not exactly armed with props, it was simply a case of me and the camera, no more, no less. But...

In the early hours of Saturday 26th February former Bradford City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton & Tottenham Hotspur defender Dean Richards died of a long term illness aged only 36.

I have been moderately busy adding new content to the website this month and have updated both my “Portraits in Landscape” collection of photo’s and added a new Exhibition of football photos taken over January and February. Feel free to leave feedback as it is always welcome. Much of...

Taken using a 55mm lens, nothing exciting, but I thought I would test action shots and other football related football photos whilst on my travels. Mainly featuring Bradford City FC & Ilkley Town FC.

So there was a demonstration in Piece Hall (main photo, on what should be a busy Saturday afternoon in March 2010), Halifax about local council cuts. I will not go into too much detail about the ins and outs of issues with public spending which have seen the private...

I am entering a competition for the first time. I am not expecting much from it because there is bound to be a lot more experienced people who have about a million photo’s like mine, but I am giving it a go anyway. Anyway I am still trying to...

Well you have read about the original problem with the late delivery, you have read about my issues with Asda call centre agents lying. You have read about the Asda call centre manager telling me he was sending me a £10 voucher but again it being a lie, because...

I decided to leave things a few days to calm down and rang Asda’s call centre again. This time I spoke to somebody who was actually honest with me. You can imagine my surprise when he offered me £5 and then told me the maximum he could offer was...

Photographs taken while out and about at the park in Ilkley by the river Wharfe. Some of them took a bit of patience but otherwise it was a case of testing out some ideas. Feel free to comment.

After a predictably slow December business is on the up again with Easybiz Sites and the positive start to the year has taken some pressure off me. I am currently working on a few things to improve the Easybiz Sites website as well as this one.

You can get involved and leave top 10′s of anything. It can be the most annoying things, movies, books or things in the news.

Due to Asda being super useless I get the feeling this will drag on, so I have divide the blog on this into parts. It all started before Christmas with a delivery that was late.

I seem to prefer taking portraits in landscape for some reason, so I guess over time there will be more of these as time goes on. Anyway I hope you like the first lot. Mainly of family and friends and my fiancées family.

Because this website (in one domain or another) has been on the internet using paid for hosting and design software for 10 years now, I have decided to take a big jump and totally change the function of the whole website as well as the layout.

A few photo’s taken on the Sony A33 with a 55mm lens, no exciting kit, no tripod either. I will add more to this gallery so do feel free to come back and have a look. It was a cold and snowy day with a lot of mist on...

Well I wanted something that would be useful as a photo blog and also show off my website design as well as let me have my say; people who know me will know I like to have my say.

I have introduced a tutorials page to share useful tips on everything from photography to website design and also what to do with your images after photography or before web design with Adobe  Photoshop.
