My six week photography exhibition in the city museum art gallery was extremely popular and drew over fifteen thousand visitors. NINE CITY INSPIRATIONAL TOUR OF 2011. On my days off from being a paramedic and with the approval of the long suffering Mrs P I embarked on a nine city tour seeking inspiration. I felt I needed to take more images outside Peterborough and the cities included London, Brighton, Norwich, Leicester, Nottingham, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and York. I adopt the great New York photographer Dave Beckerman's philosophy. 'Street photography is 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration.' On these train day trips I walked for miles over many hours. I took hundreds but only a few made my website as I want you to see only the best. Look out in the Other Locations galleries where I posted my favourites. 2012 CITY TOUR. Recently inspired by Oxford, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester and Blackpool. (seasides are great for street photography) so see the fruits of my labours under Other Locations.

I only had three days but I walked for miles and see the results in my Paris section. 2013. My year recording the life of Nene Park left me little time but I managed to squeeze in the day job, my local streets, London, Berlin, Amsterdam and the amazing Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 2014 .
