Announcing "Football Photography & The World" Oct. 16, 2006

I am photographing ALL the countries of the World.
Through a football lens.
FIFA recognises 205 in its tournaments, although there are officially only 194.
It will take between 4 and 8 years to do this, and I am taking on young budding photographers around the World, to help me.

What began as “The Homes of Football” in 1990 is now becoming “Football Photography & The World” indefinitely.
If time on my travels I will also take onboard environmental issues, music festivals and other human interest stories.
Pictures shall appear on this website.

My base as always is at Ambleside in The English Lake District.
The pictures can be touched here… it’s a walk-in studio and gallery open Wednesday to Sunday.
People have been asking ‘can you buy the pictures’? Yes you can.
I have the really expensive pictures in frames limited to 1 or 3 or so of any one title priced £250 upwards.
And I have a new format all at £125 including p&p which are prints hand-made and hand-signed limted to 50 of any one title.

As concerns my next book – the one to feature “World Cup German Summer”, this has been put back for release to June 2007.
It will feature a lot of the German World Cup – and what happened to Germany AFTER its mighty stage.
On the subject of ‘legacy’, the book also looks forward to the African continent staging World Cup 2010.
For the British football fans, who liked the parochial detail of Homes of Football, there is a fair amount of new material plucked from England & Scotland, the cradle of the football game.

Don’t forget when you are playing Playstation EA Sports FIFA‘07, I did all the photos in the game!
