My photography has ramped up considerably in 2014 and much of it has been taking photos of local sporting events and primarily parkruns at various locations. Ive also been able to do some wildlife photography plus some odds and ends of concerts, landscape, art, and architecture. And I've not earned a single solitary sheckle for …
Basildon parkrun #37
Yesterday (12 December) I was volunteer photographer again at Basildon parkrun. I hadn't intended to be out photographing parkruns with Christmas approaching and an evening out to see Bombay Bicycle Club but they were in need of someone plus they were going to be running in the reverse direction for the first time so I decided …
LoSS 10K 2014 – Photos
Sunday was the 2014 running of the Leigh on Sea Striders 10K race. The LoSS 10K is a popular race with local runners on an interesting course taking in an ascent and descent of the biggest hill in the area followed by an eastward leg along the cliff tops before returning along the seafront path. …
Southend 10K 2014 – Photos
Today was the 2014 running (clever huh) of the Southend 10K for Havens Hospices. It was a glorious morning and as I am prone to doing I took my camera (and my daughters) out to take photos of all you fabulous people taking part. This is a bit of a temporary post as I don't …

The 90th running of Southend parkrun took place on Saturday and a record 277 runners and many spectators came out to take place and cheer. The event was special for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was a pacing event where a number of parkrun regulars had agreed to pace other runners to help them …
Southend Half Marathon and Fun Run 2014

This year I decided to base myself around the start finish general area . I have got to know many more runners in and around Southend in …
BUPA London 10,000
Today I took time out to go to the BUPA London 10,000 road running race which - somewhat unsurprisingly - was in London. I was there partly to support a few local runners but mainly to take a whole heap of photographs of as many of those taking part as I could. I succeeded in the …
Great Notley Spring Duathlon – Photoblog
Had a great morning up at the Great Notley Discovery Park this morning watching and photographing the Born2Tri Great Notley Spring Dualthlon. I took part in the Autumn running of the event last year and whilst it looks relatively easy on paper it does have a sting in its tail with the ascent and decent …
Brentwood Half Marathon 2014
At relatively short notice I decided to rock over to Brentwood this morning and snap some photos of all the guys and girls running in the half marathon. There were a fair few people running from many of the running clubs in and around Southend so I was cheering as well as snapping. I ended …
