Fisherman on solidified lava. The town of Garachico was half-destroyed by a lava stream in the 1700's. Today, people can bathe in rock pools that were created when lava cooled rapidly as it came into contact with the Atlantic. These pools provide a calmer place to swim on the otherwise turbulent north coast

The small town of Taganana rapidly grew in wealth and stature due to its Sugar Cane plantations

 Womad - The rain starts falling and the umbrellas come out

The flag poles which are synonymous with festivals are too much to resist 

My directing debut

 Earlier this year I directed a video for Italian artist/producer Danny Darko.  

  The video was mostly filmed in the Parkland Walk (an abandoned railtrack that used to link Finsbury Park to Alexandria Palace, now a nature reserve.) Disused empty platforms, tunnels that lead to nowhere, and the sub-zero weather provided inspiration for the narrative and created the ideal location for shooting.

Fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast

Early in the morning, the tide starts to recede, leaving behind "fresh" fossils

                                      

                                   Fossil hunters start combing the beach. 

A good place to look is where the mud flows out of the "porridge" 

Fragments of Ammonites are a common find

The best Ammonites are still within the rock.
These will be taken back to the workshop and extracted

                                       

Some people have been doing this professionally  for 20+ years. 

All heads are down. Sharp eyes are needed to spot fossils amongst the pebbles.

The Jurassic coast is famously erratic. Rock falls are a constant danger.

As the tide starts to encroach, a fossil hunter heads back
with the findings of the day

All of these were shot in Shoreditch. Please note the sexy Titanium frame in the last photo!
