		<title>LV= Streetwise Safety Roadshow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The opportunity to photograph the inside of an exceptionally large bendy bus does not present itself that often. Even less often comes the opportunity to photograph one that has an interior built to represent the inside of a home, the suburban street it&#8217;s on and the interior of a car. Kitchen, lounge, road, level crossing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>But what does it all mean?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had the following composite image kicking around in my collection for quite some time now. It was created as a concept book cover but though I am satisfied with the results I&#8217;ve kind of lost my way when it comes to pinning down what it all means. Despair, desolation, misery? The reason I&#8217;m digging [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rock-Ola</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I covered a PR event a short while back to celebrate the opening of a Cafe tied to a residential social care project and I was really taken with this magnificent jukebox. It&#8217;s a 1940&#8242;s style Rock-Ola reproduction and, frankly speaking, it went straight onto my list of &#8220;things that I really, really need and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prints available</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I&#8217;ve tended to shy away from selling prints of my imagery. I guess this is mostly due to my mind set which is fixed firmly in the digital realm where my imagery is made available to image buyers, through my online agency, for use in newspapers, books, magazines, advertising campaigns etc. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harpenden Classics on the Common 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s Harpenden Classics on the Common event will take place on the 28th July 2010. This is one of my favorite yearly photographic opportunities and is, I think, the best event to take place in Harpenden all year. I covered the event in 2009 and some of the images of the day can be [...]]]></description>

		<title>On image histograms and code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently working on a long term software project that I&#8217;m mostly trying to keep under my hat, though a couple of other photographers are aware of it. I&#8217;ve reached a stage where I think it would be beneficial to chew the cud with someone who understands very well the concept of black and white [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photographers to march in protest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photographers plan to march in protest over police terror stop and search laws: &#8220;Photographers will be exercising their common law right to take a picture in a public place &#8211; and they will be doing it collectively.&#8221; Could this be the most well documented protest march in history?]]></description>

		<title>Extreme camera shake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I covered a corporate party at the Barns on the Knebworth Estate. During the event I decided to use a method of photography that I&#8217;ve been playing with for a while which can really deliver a dynamic feel to a shoot, especially if the venue&#8217;s ambient lighting is particularly extravagant. By way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Image spotting &#8211; a neat trick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot to do when preparing imagery for submission to a stock photography agency. Disregarding subject matter and meta-data you have to make sure your histograms are up to scratch, your images are as sharp as can be, your filenames are acceptable, your images are within the correct saved file size range and uncompressed [...]]]></description>
