Life photographers pioneered new forms of photojournalism, living with and photographing their subjects for weeks, enabling them to capture compelling yet ordinary aspects of American life too.

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.

Life in pictures
I watched an interesting programme on BBC 4 about Life magazine recently. Life was an iconic weekly magazine that specialised in extraordinarily vivid photojournalism. Through its most dynamic decades, - the 40s, 50s and 60s - Life caught the spirit of America as it blossomed into a world superpower. Read by over half the country, its influence on American people was unparalleled. No other magazine in the world held the photograph in such high esteem. At Life the pictures, not the words, did the talking. As a result, the Life photographer was king.

The Sound of Two Songs
I am going to attend a new exhibition soon at the impressions gallery. By Mark Power called The Sound of Two Songs.
14th Jan - 24th Mar 2012
Made over a period of five years, The Sound of Two Songs offers an extensive and personal photographic survey of Poland. This is the UK premiere of a major new exhibition by renowned Magnum photographer Mark Power.
What should make this exhibition more interesting is that I intend to view it with my Polish friend. I will be very interested to hear his views.
