'Stop the Immigration Bill'

    As I was walking through Sheffield earlier today, I came across a large group of people protesting against the Immigration Bill which is currently being discussed in Parliament. The protest was organised by SYMAAG - South Yorkshire Migration and Asylum Action Group.

    I think anyone who knows me will know I love Multi-Cultural Britain therefore support immigration. Please take a look at the website above if you would like to know more about the Immigration Bill and what SYMAAG are hoping to achieve.

Landscapes

       I haven't uploaded anything to my blog for a while, so I thought I would upload a few photographs from a recent module at University. I'm not usually mad on landscapes but I find them interesting for what they are. I'm planning on photographing some industrial landscapes in Sheffield when I can, so I can hopefully make a bit more of a statement, but here are a few basic shots from the last couple of weeks:

Caribbean Carnival - 3rd August 2013

    The thing that I love about Leicester, is how multi-cultural the city is. Many people from different cultural backgrounds live in leicester and it creates a lovely, diverse atmosphere around the city. There are often events celebrating different cultures in Leicester and last Saturday I photographed the Caribbean Carnival in the city centre.
    Here are a selection of the photographs:

'Does Facebook have a problem with women?'

Interesting read on Facebook's policies and not removing 'rape-culture' and misogynistic pages from the site.

Stonehenge

        Stonehenge is an ancient monument surrounded by endless theories of how, when and most mysteriously why it was built. I personally have wanted to visit Stonehenge for quite a while and when I finally did, on Saturday 6th April 2013, I was not disappointed. It was amazing to see the incredible landmark and feel the eeriness of mystery surrounding it. 

        I do a lot of work based around people and current events, so it was interesting and different for me to get away from that briefly to look at the history of Britain and unsolved mysteries surrounding that.

Here's some photographs; Enjoy!

Save The Harlan Beagles Silent Procession

9th March 2013 - Brighton

It is truly wonderful to be part of such an amazing campaign. I have complete confidence that we will close down Harlan and that Vivisection will end.

On Saturday 9th March 2013, we took to the streets of Brighton for a silent procession to raise awareness of the campaign and what goes on in Harlan. People travelled from across the UK as well as from France, Belgium, Italy and Norway. A huge amount of people standing together to end this inhumane, unreliable, devastating torture of innocent animals. Vivisection is bad science.
