Manhattan Island has had skyscrapers for near enough 100 years. Today, these buildings are everywhere. I wanted to capture the imposing nature of man’s achievement.

Birmingham, England isn’t known for its aesthetic appeal but the revamped shopping centre – The Bull ring – makes for an excellent abstract black and white photo.

Newcastle is a surprising city – at least to me – in that it has so much architectural beauty. The redevelopment of the waterfront is stunning. I took a number of shots of the centre at night. This was one of them
Newcastle at night
In New York, I stayed on Manhattan island, somewhere between Central Park and Times Square. I could take pictures in this city forever. For now I will share 5.
The Empire State Building and Lower Manhattan
I think this shot was taken from Brooklyn Bridge looking back up the island.
The Empire State Building
Wherever you are in NY, you can’t avoid the majesty of The Empire State Building
Tourists on Times Square
I like this shot. I was trying to capture the movement and hurly burly of the city
Radio City Music Hall
Not far from Times Square is the Radio City Music Hall.
Taxis - Everywhere
Taxis are everywhere in this great city. Although they are not quite as grand as they once were.
Taken in 2007. I love the Georgian architecture of Merrion Square, Dublin. Oscar Wilde once lived here and the 3 story town houses look as good today as they did 200 years ago. I wanted to showcase the brightly coloured painted doors – something that is not possible when shooting entirely in B&W. This shot has proved quite popular.
