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. Check out my October Paris trip  where my friend and great photographer Valerie Jardin very kindly invited me to help out on her photo workshop. 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 .  To be inspired and get the creative juices flowing I visited  London many times, Prague, Brussels, Rome, Budapest,  Barcelona ,Dublin and back to my roots in Warsaw. I was pleasantly surprised  to hear  Luton airport are using some of these images on their walk ways in a five year long exhibition. I am  busy on my next  book two which will be dedicated to my then and now reunion pictures. 

NEW ENGLAND'
As for my dream of a book on street photography ' New England' was published on  December 8 th 2012. It is hardback and contains around a hundred and seventy of my favourite pictures from the late seventies and early eighties. Doing well with Tate Modern and the V&A stocking it in their bookshops. Thank you so much Dominic of  http://www.piersanddominic.com/  who has turned  my dream into reality. Also  many thanks to Martyn of http://www.northlightmedia.co.uk/ who created this beautiful website. They have been so generous with their time and I am immensely grateful. 


2015. Got off  to a good start with  many of my images appearing in a five year installation at London Luton airport. Vienna and Copenhagen were  wonderful and do check out my take on these amazing cities. Over a period of five months and with unique access I recorded everyday life in Peterborough City Hospital. See the results in my Peterborough galleries.  

2016. Check out my take on Lisbon, Oslo and Riga in the spring and the rest of the year I have been consumed with tracking down my characters from the eighties and retaking their pictures for my book Reunions. I do hope you like it. Mission accomplished when Reunions was published in October 2016 

2017.  In April I was inspired by Madrid and Venice and the latter was my favourite of al the cities I visited in my European tour. No cars was a lot to do with it! I said never again  but  my  third book Streets of Europe was published in December 2107.

2018. I  toured and revisited  25 UK cities  to produce Streets of Britain the natural follow up to my last book and a perfect partner for Brexit. 

2019. My latest book Barking! on quirky, funny, crazy dogs from New York to Paris to London was published on October 17th 2019. it was great fun to do. 
I am now working on my next book for 2020 covering my forty five years in the NHS. An exciting and important project. 

2020 'Just Be Kind' published. 
November 2021 Reunions 2 published.
