Waterstones, Glasgow - 2011.

A reworking of a very old photograph in Waterstones, Sauchiehall St, Glasgow. Ironically I ended up working there for a short time some years later before deciding that the retirement I was enjoying was the better option than working in retail.

Even at football there is always time for some festive fun. With fans dressed as elves and supporters with Santa hats, the atmosphere at the Pollok v East Kilbride South Challenge Cup game was one of fun from both sets of fans.

Bawheid - (Scottish colloquial) A person with a large round face; (also) a stupid person. Frequently used as a term of mild abuse.

The people in these photos are most not bawheids and are footballers for Ashfield Development Team unfortunately caught with the ball in front of their faces.

I was fortunate enough to be asked to shoot a game at Pollok FC and took the opportunity to do some related, but not game play, documentary style photos before the game commenced.

It was an absolute pleasure to be at Pollok and hope to return again soon.

Sometimes the opposing team even get to kick the ball….. - November 2024

Kirkintilloch Rob Roy U20s players on the ball during their recent game against Ashfield Development Team in Glasgow.

Whilst the game did not go Kirkintilloch’s way, they had some good moments of football during the game.

A well written thread that’s worth a read. You will certainly have a feeling of what the author is conveying by the end of it.
In 1997, I traveled to Jakarta to document life in this sprawling megacity, initially focusing on the environmental benefits of urban density, such as reducing strain on rural landscapes by concentrating population in one area. (More text attached👇)

I had the pleasure of chatting briefly to staff and a customer at Safe Hands Barbers in Parnie St, Glasgow where I was allowed to make a few photographs. Being relatively bald means I rarely, if ever, venture into a barbers shop and it was a refreshing experience to chat to such nice people today.

Oh Hell No - Glasgow, 2016. The title of a song by pop band Jedward seemed appropriate for these stickers which appeared on lampposts all over the city. By 2016 Jedward were past their sell-by date yet reappeared like a rash. Thankfully the stickers, and hopefully Jedward, are now gone forever.

In a more somber end to 2023, this photo was taken today, 31st December 2023, in Glasgow City Centre.

It’s less than 50ft to the biggest shopping street in Scotland and kind of sums up the common themes of the last year in terms of homelessness and poverty.

The snow finally arrived here today in Glasgow. Thankfully it is not too heavy though it would not be me out waiting on a bus in this weather.

Blackpool, England - 2008. The British seaside is a somewhat quaint place at the best of times in Summer and is usually the most unwelcoming and bleak place in Winter.
