I've just added a new editorial photo section to the website. These are not pretty pictures, but simply a record of events and life around us. I'll add new shoots as and when I get time to update it.

The city of Leeds is currently in the fifth week of a strike by the bin men. I took a walk around one of the areas mainly populated by students to see how things were.

Oddly enough, these images seemed more real and grittier in colour than black and white. It stank pretty badly in many of these streets, despite it being a cool autumn day. I feel sorry for those who are affected by this dispute.
