A selection of posts about events that I’ve attended that I feel make for good photographic opportunities.

Why I Like Haworth 1940’s Weekend Much of the main activity of the weekend takes place on Main Street in Haworth. Main Street is an old street full of character….
The Whitby Gothic Weekend returned on the last weekend in April and I was fortunate enough to be able to attend. Some years I try and attend both the April and October Goth Weekends but I had missed the event in October 2022. I’ve noticed that as the event continues to grow it can often…
