Love Cardiff / Sherman Theatre
I recently had a roundup of images used in the Sherman Theatre's Love Cardiff spread in their latest brochure. The concept of the new play is all about your stories. They want(ed) your stories about anything to do with your life in Cardiff. Good, bad, funny, sad ... you can find out more about the project and how to get involved at the Sherman website. In regards getting started with the art-direction of this spread, it set me off looking for images that represented my own personal journey in Cardiff. Stories lie underneath each image and I've described further under each image a bit more information about each image and why it means something to me.

One of my first proper nights out in Cardiff circa 2005. We were launching a magazine and ended up meeting the legendary 'Mr Shaking Hands' man.
Not technically in Cardiff, but in Rhondda Cynon Taff at my mother-in-law's house. It represented a base for me when we first moved here and was instrumental to me getting rolling in this city.
Circa 2005, one of my first meetings at Clwb Ifor Bach. I parked on the roof deliberatley to get the overview shot.
During a secret wars graffiti battle at which i was judging, i think I had my first experience with this now Cardiff landmark in his very own right, Ninjah!
