taken at a gig last year. This all seems so trivial after watching the disaster in Louisiana. If anyone from that area or the US comes across this, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve

This was taken a week ago, just as I left the a recent gig by Red Hot a local Rocakbilly band

Dance

I’m trying to put together a portfolio of shots on the theme of “Dance”. I’ve been working on this since September 04, staring with a night at the dress rehearsal of a local amateur dramatic society’s production of Swing Something Simple (see http://www.hanhamplayers.org). This has no progressed to work done at the local Rock n Roll Club and at some rock gigs.

Watch this space for my work. Feel free to comment.

Took this at the Pink Cadillac Rock n Roll Club in Bristol in July 2005. Even though the two lamps above Jason & Sam's heads are a little distracting, I felt cloning them out was a cheat

Welcome, August 2005

Never tried to do this before but here goes. My name's Steve Cox. I'm a keen amateur photographer and plan to use this blog to display my work and write... just a little.

I live in the beautiful village of Bitton - halfway between Bristol and Bath in the English West Country, with my wife Karen and our kids James & Aime. I have two other children, Kirstin who live in Bristol.

We have two Irish Wolfhounds - Murphy & Cerys. Big dogs. Huge dogs. Wonderful, warm, caring affectionate personalities. I guarantee there will be photographs of the dogs that will appear on these pages.

As you can see from the title, this is a photoblog. Most of my photographs are portraits. I am highly influenced by the work of Testino, Hurrell, Cornell Lucas, etc. and much of my work shows these influences: whether it's good or bad, that's something you'll need to judge. I like all my work but I'm biased.
