Road-trippin’ with Holga

April 28, 2013 by Phil Kneen Photography

My two favourite pastimes – photography and road-trips, they go hand in hand. Road tripping in the Northwest Territories of Canada is fairly simple, because there really aren’t that many roads, but they are VERY long roads. I didn’t actually drive that far, just Yellowknife to Rae/Edzo, I was in a truck that my most excellent friend, and fellow photographer, Pat Kane had lent me, so I didn’t want to take the piss. Had I have been in a hire […]

Return to Yellowknife, the long way…

When I went to Yellowknife in September with friend and writer, Trevor Gibbs, I’d planned it to be a one-off trip to document life in and around the small city. We arrived, and within only a couple of days I realised that this wasn’t going to be a short-term project, there’s enough in one street alone to keep me busy for months! So, I’m going back. It’s not only Yellowknife that interests me, it’s the whole of Canada, I love the […]

Six Quatre Cinq Road Trippin’

June 30, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I took these shots in France a couple of weeks ago. My friend, Rich Plumley, and I flew down, I had some shots to get in Bergerac and had arranged a meeting with a photo agency in Paris, so we decided to drive the 1000 miles back to the Isle of Man, via the capital. Things didn’t go quite to plan… I’d organised to meet in a cafe near the Eiffel Tower at 5pm, by 4pm we were still 70 […]

The arrow of time…

April 15, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

Spring 1989, I was 19. I’d been working in a local pottery making reproduction Staffordshire figures, hideous tat. My boss had been looking for an excuse to sack me for weeks. Has opportunity came one Friday afternoon when I decided to come back from my Wednesday lunch break, two days late. So, I had two weeks wages, a second-hand Olympus OM1 and a Honda 125cc motorbike. I decided I was going to ride to Scotland. I got on the Isle of […]
