Out & About

Simon Cowell

Some say that you should never meet your heroes because you may be disappointed, so it was with a good deal of trepidation when I met one of my all time heroes. I’d been invited...

Recently I organised a coach trip outing  (no not that sort of outing) for my staff to go and see my good friend Alan Carr doing a warm up gig before he starts his massive Spexy Beast arena tour...

It’s deemed as one of the most unusual sporting events in the world but I love it. Although unfortunately I don’t think we will see it at the 2012 London Olympics.  I’m talking about the 650 year-old tradition that is, the Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Tournament...

Last month started off pretty well, when Number One Gay Hero and rugby legend Gareth Thomas came to party at Leeds best gay hot-spots. He toured the venues and the crowd at the Viaduct seemed very happy to see him so he returned the favour by taking his shirt off...

When a friend of mine invited me to the British Soap Award I jumped at the chance. It was being recorded in Manchester at the ITV studios right next door to the fabulous Coronation Street set...

I’ve finally given way to public pressure: No, not to set up a home for ‘wayward young men’ (although that does sound like a good idea) but to bring back the Mr Gay UK competition...

Rio Carnival 2011

18-04-2011

The Rio Carnival looked under threat earlier this year when a fire ripped through the warehouses in the city that housed the famous samba creations. It was said that around 90% of the...

Three-piece, two-piece… Onepiece OK, I know it looks like I’m jumping on (or should that be jumping in) the onesies bandwagon but I just want to say, I had the idea first. I’ve...

No Korea for a photographer. The travel bug got to me again recently and I found myself on a plane to China. It’s one of those places that I really wanted to visit; see the Great...

By Royal Appointment Words and photographs by Terry George Despite all the raucous noise outside in the streets of London as protesters made their feelings known about the government’s...

X Marks the Spot

28-10-2010

X marks the spot Recently, I did something I have never done before. It’s not that I was scared of doing it... it was just that I had my doubts about it. In the past it had a bit of a reputation of not quite being above board, even creating a bit of a scandal a few years back...

Havana go to Cuba

28-10-2010

Havana go to Cuba As regular readers will know… I love to travel. Seeing new and exciting places, meeting different people and experiencing something fresh for the first time, makes all the effort of getting there so worthwhile...

Montreal and Me

28-10-2010

Montreal and me I flew into Canada as a guest of the Tourisme Montreal and thought I’d landed in Manchester, the weather was overcast and wet. I was a little down-hearted to be...

Rio and Madonna = Paradise 2010 marked my 9th year of photographing the fabulous Rio Carnival, the highlight of my calendar. The only downside is I took 8000 photos – I’m beginning to think I might have an illness! I hope there are one or 2 good shots within that...

Frying Tonight

28-10-2010

Frying tonight It’s been a hectic few weeks for me and my feet have hardly touched the ground. However, recently I had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Let me explain...
