It's had a fair amount of use as you can see from my flickr page but I was really pleased the other month when I had an unexpected email from Schmap (an online travel/review website) who wanted to use one of my (more mundane admittedly) pictures of Centre Point. Here's the photo below:
Whilst I realise this picture is not exactly earth shattering it's really spurred me into going out and walking the streets of London whilst snapping away again - especially as I love the thrill of finding an architectural gem or hidden bit of graffiti. But it also got me thinking about how many good non-professional (because amateur sounds a bit mean) photographer's there are out there, for now I'll start with a couple of friends who's pictures always inspire me to go that bit further with my own:
James Delaney's pictures are always varied, interesting and driven from what he sees in everyday life. I especially love them when they are gritty and a bit dark. Check him out on flickr.

Robert Attard (@wobblebobbles on twitter if you wanna stalk him) does cheeky and chic in one go. I always enjoy seeing what new crazied scenario he has come up with to tantalise his viewers. Have a look at his webpage for the full run down.

As for me - when I get released from the shackles of this job I intend to be getting out and doing a lot more photography - which of course I'll post here when I do. x
