USA 2010

A few shots from the road trip in USA. Lone Pine, Ca (top) like a shot from Twin Peaks, we stayed there one night in the motel in photo. The mountain range is the Sierra Nevada, and Mount Whitney is the highest peak of the range and in the contiguous US. Great little frontier town and was the first place we arrived after driving up from Death Valley which is the lowest land in the States (middle photo).
The last image is of the Big Sur on Highway 1, the coast road we took from LA to Monterey. The fog was hanging on the sea all the way up and most of the time we couldn't see much more than 10 metres in front. Pretty unfortunate with the weather, but i have an issue with heights so at least i couldn't see the bottom. They drive like lunatics on that road, so its nothing like the Clint Eastwood movie when he is cruising along, its more like Dual, with pick up trucks right up against your bumper.

Bar Anton, Luqa, Malta

This bar is like a clubhouse for the local guys that are into hunting and shooting. They told me there has been a ban put on hunting in certain months of the year to reserve wildlife.
There are several different types of these clubhouses/ bars around the town and each one is for different sports or activities.

The Leopard, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent

Monday nights at the Leopard, squeeze box, harmonicas, the spoons and Roy on vocals. I doubt there are many pubs in the country where somebody gets out an accordion. The pub dates back over two hundred years and the history of the place is full of tales. The pub is written about, although the name is changed to the Tiger, in the Arnold Bennet stories. see link that follows for a BBC article:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2007/05/25/leopard_history_feature.shtml

London's East End

I arranged a shoot in a notable West Ham supporters pub during an England match in the World Cup. The landlord warned me that the guys in there probably wouldn't like any attention and he was quite right. I took this shot for the uncle of the boy, but was one of the only images i came away from the game with.

Street kids of Marrakesh

Whilst taking pot shots in the Medina, these three or four lads started on me. Taking  pictures over there is a little difficult as it's frowned upon it seems.  The people generally don't like being in pictures, something to do with the soul being taken from them, but they will allow for a couple of coins. These kids didn't ask for any cash, they were just practicing being heavies for the future.
