UK based Photographer, videographer, social technologist and mobile media maker
There is software somewhere tracking all the IMEI’s on the phones that were momentarily clustered in the intimate auditorium of the Sage, Gateshead. A three day hotspot of creatives, thinkers, do’ers and disrupters. The transmitted signatures have now spidered their way back across the country, across the water, across the world. And the digital echo [...]
Listen! Firstly I have to thank the soundsmith @MCFontaine for sending me this mashup created from a few of my audio recordings on Audioboo. I love what he has done and am inspired to one day.. perhaps.. trawl through the (aprox) 83 hours of Audioboo’s I’ve done in the last two years. Prior to finding the Audioboo iPhone [...]
A Journalist friend is holed up in Syria. Yesterday he told me he needed more mobile web options and asked for advice. As foreign nationals are being told to leave, he is staying put. As an experienced journalist he’s seen worse, but he has no idea how bad this is going to get. It’s getting harder and [...]
This post originally appears on the Open University’s website ‘Platform’ linked here I didn’t just go to SXSW for the free cocktails, late night parties, and spontaneous meet ups. No, I had work to do and a part of that was my own research. Simply put, I was really interested to know if anyone had any idea as [...]

Not all the right ones in my mind but nevertheless people were saturating themselves with the social web and it felt almost normal to be a geek. We learnt that changing your avatar green just [...]
Photographers should not put pictures in a box under their beds and be the only ones that see them. If they put film in their cameras it presupposes that they want to record what they see and show somebody else. Photography is about communication. - David Hurn On Being a Photographer : A Practical Guide, ISBN: 1888803061 [...]
I am writing this post for two reasons. One is just to get some content onto my OurManInside.com blog as it has sat dorment for a few months. The other is to pose the question in the title. How easy to use is your blogging platform? I’ve found myself in a dilemma. I have had the [...]
I first got wind about the audio blogging platform in March 2009. Audioboo has steadily evolved ever since. I was excited then and it’s still my favorite way of sharing and absorbing content. At the time I said.. “I have fallen back in love with audio. It makes you think more about how you describe [...]
