I recently went to an symposium and exhibition at the National Coal Mining museum, the symposium featured(luckily for me) lots of photographers who's work I have been looking at recently.

This was a really valuable day for me as I was able to make lots of notes and compose direct reasearch. I have had a re-newed interest in social doc photography recently. Seeing lots of people i respect talking about social documentary photography and its highs and lows really inspired me.
It was fantastic to meet John Bulmer and Ian Beesley. Also very usefull to be able to direct some questions to them too.
Afterwards I asked Ian if I could e.mail him regarding some research that I was carrying out for my essay. He kindly agreed.
About Me
- Me
- Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
- I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.
