The World is generally far too serious & doomladen to need yet another 'earnest' person endlessly wittering in right-on socio-political & pretentious terms about the alleged values of what they do. I do what I do to have fun and derive enjoyment from the one thing I can control - the use of my own free time.

I reject the terms 'urban explorer / urbexer' utterly. I am a photographer. My choice of subject matter does not in any way link me to the actual or perceived mindset, motivations or actions of such people - I have no urbex connections, nor do I want any.

I love my family, and my friends. Their happiness, and mine, comes first - please respect that... AND my 'ALL RIGHTS RESERVED' COPYRIGHT too.

...and don't forget -

"We can add 'onious', 'ainous' or 'anous' to almost anything... and it becomes magical."










PLEASE NOTE - Whilst I am flattered by having my photos faved, or being made a contact, if you've been a member since 2007 [example] but have no images visible to me or are just harvesting 1000's of other peoples photographs whilst posting none of your own I WILL BLOCK YOU as a precaution against image theft.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE - I have successfully pursued two different image thieves through legal channels recently. So, if you are inclined to rip off my original photographs or contravene the terms of my ALL RIGHTS RESERVED COPYRIGHT, be warned that I will use the full weight of the law to stop you. Unauthorized BLOG / WEB entries will also be reported to your provider with a view to shutting you down.

HOWEVER, I am always willing to consider GENUINE ENQUIRIES about proper licensed image usage. Please use Flickr PM to CONTACT ME in the first instance.

    "I don't know Paul personally, but am familiar with his work ... having watched his stream over the last year+. For me, what really stands out is Paul's eye for the truly gritty undertone of the urbanity around us. Right up my alley so to speak, but also a style and subject focus that many others can appreciate."
