Weapons Inspectors anyone?

One of the funnier protests I've covered over the years.
Greenpeace and other activists dress as UN Weapons Inspectors and go on the rampage outside AWE Aldermaston, the UK's nuclear weapons facility where allegedly preparations are underway to build a new nuclear deterrent once the Trident system expires. The job required a very early morning start and involved a lot of walking around the perimeter.

What surprised me was how non-confrontational the police and demonstrators were - no scuffles, no arrests, no violence or nastyness - a good day was had by all. Ho-hum.

Meet Mr Paparazzi

Darryn Lyons, founder of celeb and paparazzi photo agency Big Pictures finally stood in front of my camera. Although at the beginning of the interview he stated that he doesn't 'give a shit' about what other people thought of him, I found him rather eager to participate and look 'good' in the portraits.

F8 and be there...

... is what I thought when I glanced out of the windows from the 41st floor of the HSBC building in the docklands. Just while setting up for a portrait shoot with Stephen Green, chairman of HSBC Group plc, I had a few minutes to enjoy the view and catch a frame or two of Canary Wharf, the Docklands, the Thames and a fabulous London skyline.
