Got my Bus Out
August 10, 2016
Awesome to get my bus out of hibernation and over to this month’s Classic Car Sunday event at The Departure lounge Café in Alton. Even better to meet up with some old friends and cruise up with them.
Visit to Cadwell Park
July 30, 2016
While working in Lincolnshire recently I popped into Cadwell Park to see if the café was open for lunch. Better than that, it was open and there was a bike trackday on. What a scenic circuit it is too, rolling hills with plenty of good vantage points for spectating.

VAG at the Manor
June 30, 2016
A new show for 2016 held in familiar surroundings. Home of the annual Dubs at the Park show, Easthampstead Park is a regular annual haunt. Not this year though. I can’t think why I missed one of my most local shows, there must have been something really, really important on….. However, it wasn’t long before the […]

Photographing a photographer
June 1, 2016
I recently had the pleasure of shooting a photographer friend of mine. So why would a photographer need another photographer to photograph them? Well, how else do you get decent shots of yourself in action. This particular photographer is a specialist food creator, blogger and photographer with a keen eye for culinary detail. Since establishing […]

Only 2 days to go before Lee Maynard’s Renault Dauphine is back out on the strip up at Gary’s Picnic at Shakespeare County Raceway. Along with 10 other cars from the Outlaw Flat Four drag racing club, with some European cars also making their way over for the event, it should be a spectacular weekend.
Pre 1950 Grand Prix cars at Donington
May 25, 2016
The two HGPCA Nuvolari Trophy races at this year’s Donington Historic Festival were arguably the most entertaining from a spectators view, added rain during the race on Saturday of course added further to the excitement as priceless cars from the era hurtled round the famous circuit celebrating the 80th anniversary of the 1936 Donington Grand […]
Breakfast Klüb
April 25, 2016
Yesterday saw the first Breakfast Klüb meet at The Comfort Cafe near Cambridge (CB1 6AP). The brainchild of Mark Morgan of Triple Espresso. A Sunday blast through the local lanes to the Comfort cafe, an event for all Porsches, held 4 times a year, every third Sunday, every other month from April to October. This […]

DJI Osmo
April 19, 2016
So I treated myself. After much research into gimbals for SLR’s, iPhones etc. The Osmo from DJi seemed the best option for portability, quality and budget so I took the plunge. I’ve been following it’s progression since its launch last year and after a few firmware issues it seemed it had reached a decent point […]
Duxford -The Return
April 1, 2016
Last May we invested in an annual pass for Duxford as the American Air Museum Hangar was closed for refurbishment and we hoped to revisit before our year was up. It finally opened just before Easter so we returned to see what was new. Safe to say we weren’t disappointed! The new display is packed […]
Wheels Day 2016
March 31, 2016
This year the visit to wheels day was short but sweet. Due to other commitments I was only there for a couple of hours, but just enough time to soak up some of the first glimpses of spring sunshine and some of the cool rides on display. Wheels day is held yearly on Good Friday […]
Sibson Aerodrome Breakfast Meet
March 12, 2016
Spent a great morning out at Sibson Aerodrome a couple of weeks ago. Rode shotgun in my good friend Steve’s 1930 Model A Ford (more of that to come later). There was a good turnout of cars, and oddly enough, a dog in a handbag. Here’s the link to their Facebook page if you’re a local […]
Ruby
February 17, 2016
One beautiful dog! This is Ruby, she’s a Vizsla Boxer cross owned by some good friends of mine. I’d seen photos before but not actually met Ruby till last weekend. And what a little stunner she is. I couldn’t resist grabbing my camera when the morning sun lit her her through my window. Dog portraits […]
Porsche Trimmers
January 2, 2016
Shots from a recent workshop shoot at Classic FX in Surrey. Quality of their workmanship, attention to detail and originality is superb. They even have Porsche Pepita Houndstooth manufactured to 100% match the original fabric and is available to purchase by the metre via their website here. See more from the day’s shoot on the project […]
Inspiration is all around
December 24, 2015
Literally all around. Standing in a kitchen I had to break out my camera, inspired by the beautiful design of a Joseph Joseph utensil set, to the ultra modern projection of a Bosch dishwasher onto a tiled floor. Never stop being aware of your surroundings, there’s always something worth looking at twice.
Classic FX project
December 22, 2015
A day spent with the Classic FX Porsche restoration team at their HQ in Surrey, check it out in the project section, the brief was simple – detail, lots of detail. I hope you enjoy the sample of images from the shoot, and if you would like a similar service shooting your workplace and team, […]
Appuldurcombe House
December 15, 2015
An empty shell of a grand house built in the 18th Century, damaged by bombing during World War II and never repaired. The interior was stripped and sold leaving this magnificent but sad empty hulk. At present open to the public as an English Heritage site, but was recently for sale as part of the […]
When the fog draws in
December 6, 2015
Fog is a very special phenomena. Maybe the meteorologists amongst us can predict it’s occurrence but I certainly can’t. When it does though, the chances of me being ready to take full advantage are unfortunately slim. I’m usually in my studio / in traffic / indisposed with some force beyond my control keeping me from going out […]

Any Fort in a Storm
September 25, 2015
A few days spent in one of my favourite places always leads to a a feeling of calm despite the weather.This particular evening was stormy to say the least. Standing on a beach in the pouring rain, low tide. Wrapped up in waterproofs, myself and my camera. Wiping the lens after every shot. Big rain drops, the […]
1964 Le Mans
September 23, 2015
Just sat down for a coffee break to catch up with some youtube viewing and found this film of the 1964 race at Le Mans. I think at 1.40 into the footage you can just make out the 33 Ben Pon 904 featured in the previous blog post leaving the start. Or is it my […]
Chassis 904-055 Carrera GTS
September 22, 2015
One of my all time favourite sports cars and in vibrant Dutch Orange the ex Team Holland Porsche 904 GTS chassis number 904-055. As with all carrera 904s this particular car has a racing pedigree to be proud of. Campaigned by Ben Pon (son of Ben Pon Sr. the ‘grandfather’ of the Volkswagen van) from 1964 with […]
