  • Pole Dancing Photos

    I’ve been getting out and seeing some great friends at a couple of new Fitness Studio launch events recently.

    Although the large number of photos haven’t found their way directly onto this website as such, they are currently available on my flickr account here for the Purity Studio, and here for the Vertical Studio

    A small selection from the Vertical Studio launch were quickly published here:
    http://www.theverticalstudio.com/photo_gallery.htm
    (just click on the selection to choose the ‘launch party’, although you’ll see the Gladiators photos were also by myself).

    Some of my recent photos are now also appearing on these websites:

    and

  • Photos from Glastonbury 2008

    I’m pleased to say a selection of my photos from the Glastonbury 2008 Festival are now online, here:

    A couple of my personal favourites from the festival are these two.  The first in particular which to me summarises the type of ‘camping’ involved at the Glastonbury Festival (especially with my background teaching kids about lightweight hiking with the DofE Award scheme for many years):

  • From Glastonbury to Paris

    The Glastonbury Festival was superb. Such amazing people and a great chance to find out much more from the ‘Green Fields’ (photos to follow). Of course wonderful to spend some more quality time with my partner, and enjoy the time outdoors.

    I’ve also just helped Jolene redesign her website for Purity, as she’s moving into a new studio in August 2008 (the photo in her logo was one of mine from some dancing she was doing at an Art Gallery last year).

    Thankfully, with her new studio, I’ll also get the chance to use part of the studio on occassion as a photography studio, which has both some nice indoor, and outdoor locations.

    It’s being refitted and replastered at the moment so it’s all crisp and new looking. Can’t wait!

    However, I’m now currently sat in the Novetel hotel in Paris however, as part of the Imagine Cup worldwide finals. As you may see I was lucky enough to win the UK finals, and as a result, also now have the opportunity to compete against 5 other teams for the additional prizes.

    The city looks pretty amazing, very classic architecture, and some very mad drivers.

    Apparently if you take a look at the Imagine Cup website while we’re here, you should be able to get some feedback on what everyone’s up to.

    I’ve just come back from the ‘opening ceremony’ with Paris’s Mayor, meeting some really interesting people from Microsoft in the process too, some developers, evangalists, previous imagine cup winners, ex interens, full time employees, etc. There’s even a bunch of guys who converted a car to run on chip fat oil, who’ve just arrived from driving to Paris from Dublin!
