I have been published in many forms of media over the years. Ranging from online to exhibitions, being printed in newspapers, magazines, books and being used on television too. These instances of media usage, being not only local, but national and even international, reaching way beyond UK shores, as far as Germany, Italy, America and Australia.

Exhibitions

The Open Eye, Photographer’s Gallery

I was delighted to be able to contribute, albeit in a small way, to an exhibition by the Open Eye Gallery’ photographer in residence, Miriam Flüchter. The exhibition, ‘Childhood is a Garden’, part of a series of projects for ‘The Flowers Still Grow’ exhibition, at the Open Eye Gallery, Mann Island, Liverpool (September/October 2024).

I was asked to share my memories of early childhood, living and playing in Garston, as well as being requested to supply two of my images of the Garston Hotel for inclusion in this Open Eye exhibition. The photographs document the last few days of this lovely building, whilst it’s demolition was being carried out.

LLRS attended the Woodvale show on several occasions. However, it was in 2007 that our club’ static display stole the show. Our display, made to look like a sunken Land Rover, turned out to be a big hit with many of Woodvale’s visitors. So much so, we went on to win the best ‘Club Event, 1st Trophy’. As a result, I was approached and asked to contribute an article with photographs of our Woodvale display for the ‘Club Scene’ section of Land Rover Monthly magazine.
