I started this project365 on 27-Aug-2010, with a rather dull picture of the Forth Road Bridge in the mist. My plan was to keep it going for a year, then at the end of the year (27-Aug-2011) I thought I would keep it going until the end of the calendar year. And from then onwards,…

A few photographs from a wonderful production of Sister Act by the Falkirk Bohemian Operatic Society
Running In New York
On holiday in New York for a week? One of the things I was told I had to do was to get up early one day, and run the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Boy, was I glad I did!
EMT – The Producers
I was lucky enough to photograph Edinburgh Music Theatre’s fantastic production of the side-splitting Mel Brooks musical The Producers. A great night out!
Alloa Musical Players – The Show Must Go On
Today I was lucky enough to photograph the dress rehearsal of Alloa Musical Players’ 2016 show, The Show Must Go On. This great revue had many of my favourite show tunes, and is a highly recommended night out for anyone in the area!
Falkirk Youth Theatre – Robin Hood
Congratulations to Falkirk Youth Theatre for a great dress rehearsal of Robin Hood!
Flying Trapeze class at Aerial Edge
I went for a flying trapeze lesson at Aerial Edge, in Glasgow. It was great fun – it was my first flying trapeze lesson but I hope it won’t be my last!

Falkirk Bohemians – The Wedding Singer
I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph the Falkirk Bohemians performing The Wedding Singer – it was excellent!
Dunblane Centre – The Addams Family
Here are a few photos from The Addams Family at the Dunblane Centre. One thing I realised is that the 5D is rubbish at focusing in low light. What would be nice would be something that could deliver the same “focus assist” light pattern as the flashgun does, but without the flash part. I have no…
Limelight Productions – Legally Blonde
I had the pleasure of photographing the dress rehearsal of Limelight‘s October 2015 production Legally Blonde. As we’ve come to expect from Limelight it was a superb show, full of energy, great singing, dancing and production Well done the Limeys!
A Walk Around The Helix
The weather was so beautiful today we went for a little walk around The Helix in the evening. It turned out that we weren’t the only ones to have had that idea. However, even though the lagoon was busy we were soon able to find a more quiet spot – isn’t this amazing for a…
Stage Photography 101
I posted this back in 2010 on another blog, but the content is still relevant. So here are my thoughts on Stage Photography technique.
2015-03 B Sides
A few photos that didn’t make it into my Project365 from the month of March 2015.
2015-03-03 Scottish Government Visit To Calnex
The first minister Nicola Sturgeon, finance minister John Swinney and Cabinet Minister Roseanna Cunningham came to visit the office today. They were here to launch Scotland’s economic strategy. I think that what impressed me most about the first minister was her ability to keep focused and maintain good eye contact during her speech, while media folk…
2015-01 B Sides
These are some of the photos from January 2015 that didn’t make it into the Project365.
2014-12-29 A Walk In Nicolton Road
I went for a little walk along Nicolton Road today, and as the sun shone through the mist I couldn’t resist snapping a few pictures of the shadows it cast.
2014-12-12 Custard Pie
Every panto really has to have a scene just like this… http:///clickandbuilds/WordPress/MyWordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/12/CustardPie.gif
Falkirk Youth Theatre – Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs
I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph the tech and dress rehearsals for Falkirk Youth Theatre’s 2014 Pantomime – Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. It looked really good, and the kids were clearly having a great time. I am sure that all the audiences will have loads of fun cheering on the goodies…
Pyramid Awards, Edinburgh
The Pyramids competition was a great evening, with grace and beauty, and amazing dancing skills on display. Sadly, my camera gear wasn’t quite up to the job…
Mandy and Owen’s Wedding
Congratulations to Mandy and Owen on their wedding!- a great looking couple, a beautiful location and a great day! Congratulations to you both
ROSS Summer School Day 4 – Tuesday 12th August 2008
Day four dawned bright and clear, and I went for a delightful walk before breakfast, enjoying the smell of fresh rain on the grass This morning’s warm-up involved lots of passing of beanbags to a partner, and doing grand chains with beanbags rather than hands. Lots of beanbags dropped onto the floor, too! Then we went…
ROSS Summer School Day 3 – Monday 11th August 2008
Wow – that’s the third day gone already! It’s amazing; I can feel the week slipping away and it’s hardly even started. So, today we started off with a warm-up which seemed very similar to a Scottish ceilidh dance. It was lovely to see so many English people trying to ceilidh! After that we went…
ROSS Summer School Day 2 – Sunday 10th August 2008
Day two always starts with auditions. Every class auditions in front of the other classes, to make the point that an audition should be like a performance. 1210 After a fantastic breakfast, that’s the auditions now over. We started with the Class C girls at 9am, then Class C boys, Class B girls and so…
ROSS Summer School Day 1 – Saturday 9th August 2008
After months of anticipation I was organised, I had my things sorted out, I was packed and ready to go! I left home in the most apalling weather. The rain was lashing down, bouncing off the ground. Truly dreadful weather – what has happened to summer? The journey was long but uneventful, with lunch…
Haifa, Israel
Having never been to Israel before, I was fascinated – and a little nervous – to see what the country would be like.
Ribeauvillé, France
This was a fairly short trip to Ribeauvillé in France.
Chungli, Taiwan (Apr 2004)
In April 2004 I was asked if I could go to visit the company’s sales team in Taiwan, and I was happy to go.
Dongguan, China
In March 2003 I was asked to go and investigate some problems that a customer was experiencing in China. This was my first trip to China, and it all seemed a bit “different” from any travel I had managed before. I had to get some injections to before travelling, and organise a VISA. Oh, and…
