PHOTOGRAPHY
Another Britain 2013
In March 2013 photographers Tom Johnson & Jack Eden embarked on the first of a three part series documenting & exploring communities, cultures & traditions that make
Britain what it is today. In a beat- up 1980s motorhome they travelled parts of the Midlands & Southern Wales. Another Britain Part I is the result of this journey.

EMPIRE
The police force in Afghanistan are kidnapping young boys from villages in Helmand province, holding them prisoners, raping them regularly and frequently, getting them to serve tea and murdering them. In Helmand everyone is growing opium poppies. The marines that are left are listening to DVDs and lifting weights.
CAPITALISM AND CRISIS
Boadilla Del Monte - where the streets have no name
Why are their several ghost towns scattered around the outskirts of the Spanish capital?
SPORT AND PHOTO JOURNALISM
A Fan's Eye View of the Beautiful Game
"When a goal goes in - hot steaming gold runs through your veins - you become invincible for as long as the feeling lasts". This set of photographs focuses on the fans not the players - giving a fan's eye view of Scunthorpe United's 2-1 away win against Millwall on January 31st 2009. The photos in this collection show how fans express a range of emotions from frustration to nail biting tension, from victorious displays of dominance to apathy.
TRAVEL
Things to do in Paris, France
Paris is a rustic city, where the pace of life is meandering, slowed down so that Parisians can take time to enjoy the finer things in life. You know red wine, cheese and the like. Wrap up warm if you're planning to go during the winter months. Paris is an overcast, wet and most of all cold city. But dont let the chill put you off - the quality of life in Paris resonates with any culture vulture - giving them a Ready Break glow which acts as an effective antidote to subzero temperatures.
LONDON STREET ART
Shoreditch Street Art, London
It would be wonderful to think that the artists who ply their work on the streets might act as an inspiration, so that the mindless scrawl that you might find in places like Tottenham, will one day be replaced by urban masterpieces. But that would be to ignore the political economy which underpins this work. The guys who produce this stuff are educated, linked in, global, skilled up artists. Their work might be street, and not all of them might be loaded, but they are part of the scene. So letŐs not over romanticise this. This isnŐt the working classes getting streetwise and looking for a way to make life better for everyone. Whilst much of the work is iconoclastic and challenging, this open air art gallery is a playground for middle class adults.
