For Birmingham and the West Midlands. For Everything you are.

I photographed this area with fondness and people have influenced many of the images. Walking around the St. Patrick’s Day parade I saw a mix of cultures come together and “Rotunda Bubble” with tricolour balloons and the bubble, made me think about how fragile relations can be. You will find photos and digital creations about how wonderful this region is as well as the tensions that have existed at times. “Jack the Hat” mixes with the green, white and gold, or yellow if you prefer to debate and “Jack” flying over the Wolverhampton Art Gallery has been described as “tired”. Whether that is so is for you to decide. Take from these images what you wish. “Reflecting” sees a woman outside the Selfridges building watching the world go by and “Discs” recognises Birmingham as the economic power that it is. At times it may seem like the sky is falling but I welcome all aboard the skylark and I hope that you enjoy the ride. Dougal the dog did.
