I’ve been a bit lax on the blog lately – mainly because I’ve been pretty busy but have had relatively little to show for it.

* I’ve filed quite a few written pieces and/or pictures with various publications – Guardian, Big Issue in the North, Marie Claire and New Start – all of which are still in the pipeline.
* I’ve had a second audio slideshow bought by the BBC but it’s awaiting its big moment in the publishing schedule.
* I’ve put together another multimedia piece – on this – which I’m pretty pleased with and hope could go somewhere promising in due course….watch this space.
* I’ve started a simple but hopefully effective little project related to my three-plus years of work on housing regeneration in the north of England, which I aim to have finished by Christmas. A selection of my written work on this subject can be viewed here.
* I’m plotting a further photography project – this time overseas – which, if it happens, I hope to complete gradually over the course of next year.
* And I’ve set up part of my first assignment for the MA photojournalism course I’m due to start in the New Year and am very excited about what I’m doing.

So it’s not as if I’ve been slacking. Well…just on the blog front then.
I’m now about to sign off for another week and a bit as I’m heading Stateside, for a holiday. I’m also officially hiding from my 30th birthday, which comes to pass later this week.
see you on the other side……
