London

Hello people! It has been a long while and much has happened but before I get into any of that, I wanted to share some photos of London I took recently. It was only after graduating from King's College London that they decided that the time was right to open up the next 6 floors…Read more London

What Do You Do?

So what do you do? I stared at the young lad who had come to rent my camera and my mind struggled for a few seconds. It was the first time I’d been asked that question by a total stranger since graduating from university. I find myself in a position difficult to describe; on one…Read more What Do You Do?

Innovation Forum

Before flying off to Malta and in the middle of election madness, I had the opportunity to film an event held by Innovation Forum. It is an international organisation which encourages business entrepreneurship. This event was focussed on bridging the gap between academia and enterprise with a panel of experts offering their words of wisdom.…Read more Innovation Forum

Beating the 9K

It was done. With a click of the mouse, I'd paid off the final installment of my university tuition fees. I looked around for a crowd of applauding fans but the room was as usual empty, save for the three mugs and two water bottles I'd accumulated on my bookshelves over the past few days…Read more Beating the 9K

I thought I'd better write this post quickly because time waits for no one and that certainly feels like the case when I look back on the past year at university. Time flies, the semesters are so short you barely have time to get started before you are told to go home for the holidays.…Read more The Final Straight 

Thanks Hackney

Dear Hackney,   I would like to thank you for not letting me down.  You see,  everytime I tell people that I am from Hackney,  there is a slight gasp and shudder as they contemplate how on earth I have managed to survive living in such an infamous area. They wonder if I have been…Read more Thanks Hackney 

A Few More Photos

Here are a few more photos taken during a little walkabout around my university's campus. Although I bought it mainly to shoot better videos, it has been fun experimenting with photographs. 

Breathe

He had to do it again.  This was the worst part of the job. As a young child, he had hated school assemblies and even now,  whenever he would see his son standing on stage, his eyes would tear up. Never mind the fact his eight year old voice would squeak throughout the hall,  sounding…Read more Breathe

I am a ‘Logger’

My essays were due the following day but when I was summoned to do some video logging for the On Assignment team at ITV,  I jumped at the chance.  Now before you tut tut and mutter priorities,  let me reassure you that I had mostly completed my courseworks and so I was able to say…Read more I am a ‘Logger’
