Havens Hospices Great Pier Swim
Saturday saw me down on Southend Seafront taking photos of 200 or so mad people as they swam 3.3km from Chalkwell Beach to Jubilee Beach via Southend Pier. I shot the start as 4 waves of swimmers left the beach before hot footing it up the seafront to capture them all as they finished what …
Southend Half Marathon 2017
Sunday 9th July saw me spend my morning photographing the 2017 Southend Half Marathon. I was doing so on behalf of Havens Hospices for whom the event is a major fundraiser each year. I managed to shoot 4,500 photos so if you were taking part there is a fair chance that I snapped you crossing …

I was undecided which event to cover as there were a few …
Southend Egret
Yesterday I was supposed to photographing the inaugural Brentwood parkrun however a nasty RTA in Southend mean't that I was held up so long that I didn't get there (sorry again guys). I returned home in a bit of a foul mood and decided as I had all my warm clothes on and my gear all …
Tristan Mackay – Out Along The Wire
I've been meaning to give a shout out to Tristan Mackay. He was the support act for The South when they played at the Southend Palace Theatre a few weeks ago. Tristan is a singer songwriter who turned to busking during university to help pay the bills. This continued when he started work but he …
Bellowhead – Southend Cliffs Pavillion- November 28th 2014
Bellowhead have not really been on my radar before. I knew of them and vaguely of their music but that was it. A couple of weeks ago I heard them on the BBC Radio 2 Folk show and liked what I heard but thought nothing more of it. Yesterday afternoon a tweet popped into my …

David Gray – Southend Cliffs Pavilion – Nov 27th 2014
David Gray made his first trip to play in Southend last night and I was there with my daughter Liz to see the maestro in action. I’ve been a fan for a fair while although its been a while since I’ve seen him live – last time was I think for Hold the Line tour …
