Creative Industries Quarter, Sheffield - Friday 7 September, 2012 

24 months after an exploratory meeting with Lord Baker, a Sheffield partnership of education and industry is proudly celebrating the 'ground breaking' for Yorkshire's first University Technical College. Pictured here are (l>r)  Nick Crew (Principal), the MD of Wates Construction, Julie Dore (Leader of Sheffield City Council) and Pam Liversidge (the Master Cutler). 

What is Cllr Dore signalling? 'It's all up up up from here'?

Combining the Advanced Engineering and Creative and Digital Media sectors under a common theme of excellence in design, UTC Sheffield will open to students aged 14-19 in September 2013.

Check out the website and the prospectus.

Sheffield, UK - Friday 7 September, 2012

My favourite car park - simple as that - Arundel Gate, Sheffield S1 - perhaps the most captivating modern building in Sheffield in terms of use of materials and light.

Shedd Aquarium, Chicago - Sunday 19 August, 2012

The jellyfish exhibit at the Shedd was captivating - no one seemed to be able to resist the urge to photograph these extraordinary hyper real psychedelic lifeforms.

Gorges d'Heric, France - Monday 30 July 2012  

The Gorges d'Heric at Mons la Trivalle is a hidden treasure - you can spend hours clambering and swimming in its rock pools, whilst the pathway along the gorge is highly accessible, even for wheelchairs.

Somewhere online - Friday 8 June, 2012

So my colleagues have revamped our company website - for sure, that's good! (Not least because the new site is built around some very pliable blogging technology - though not tumblr!)

Suddenly my 'innocent' tumblr ramblings (here) are there for all out clients to see - is that good?

Then again ... Why should I care?

PS Better start getting some work stuff up here ;)
