Napoli

January 9, 2026

I first went to Naples over thirty years ago and was completely entranced by its street life culture and history. As a street photographer it’s impossible to get bored. The only problem I had was dealing with the disapointment of leaving the place. It’s surely one of the most vibrant and historically rich cities in Europe that also has a flavour of other continents in the mix. Next to the sparkling waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and watched over by the mighty Mount Vesuvius I would agree with the saying “You can’t die without seeing Naples”.

I was in Naples for five nights last October with my parner Hazuan Hashim and we waisted no time in exploring the city and soaking up much of what it has to offer. I’ve only just started to edit the images so here is just a taste of things to come ….

Dance In Newcastle

January 4, 2026

In November 2025 as part of a photography and film trip to Newcastle with Hazuan Hashim I went to watch Jean Abreu and Nashi Wang at ‘Dance City’. I took just a few shots of the dancers at the end of their hypnotic performance of ‘Deciphers’ – part of the UK tour of a longterm collaboration.

Jean says “Deciphers places the moving body as the ultimate source of communication and translator of meaning.” I thought the performance was mesmerizing. So much so that I decided to make the photomontage below as a souvenir for them both to mark an incredible performance in a marvellous city.
