In an ever-changing and evolving urban landscape, I began taking monochrome snapshots of points of interest around Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northeast England.  

The ultimate aim was to capture how the city looked in the 2000's so that future generations could compare with their own time-line's perspective

Now, these images have been collected together in a new A4 photography book and as part of this virtual exhibition, where individual images are for sale as wall art:
