House keeping

I apologise for the lack of updates of late - I'm busy with Family Friendly photography work, preparing for Thursday nights exhibition launch and a few other things as well. Cardboard Kid and 365 Days of Cardboard Kid are still updating as normal, so your more than welcome to check those out.

In the meantime, here's a photo of Spinningfields in the sunshine.

Manchester by Night: Spinningfields

I've spent a couple of night's exploring round Spinningfields and it keeps reminding me of something my sister told me once. Apparently, if you were to visit one of the business districts in London on the weekend, you'd find everything shut because no-one visited the area except during office hours. Spinningfields isn't quite that bad, but it's close. There doesn't seem to be any pubs or bars in the area, just chain-restaurants (you can see most of them listed in the photograph below), which are already to be found in other area's of the city. It isn't a through-way from one part of the city to another and there are no attractions to make people visit the area. It's a bit of a ghost-town really.

Does anyone know if there's a grand-scheme in place to change it all around?

Further Adventures Up on High

Following on from this previous post, this time I've been up multi-storey's in Spinningfields and Oxford Road. I remembered to bring my tripod this time, which I don't use a great deal and it was an interesting experience trying to get it position to capture the shots I wanted.
