Back in Blog

October 20th, 2011

Well been a bit lax with the old blog recently but I’ve been keeping myself busy with a trip to Valencia, bunch of interesting work for Liverpool Mutual Homes and hurting my back! Anyway there are a few updates to my Flickr which you can check out by clicking one of the images below. I’m going to try and keep up with the blogging and maybe get some gear reviews done as well.

Also got round to adding some stuff to my website – www.craigmagee.co.uk

Liverpool One Interchange / Wilkinson Eyre

May 16th, 2011


Recent shot of the bus terminal at Liverpool One, designed by Wilkinson Eyre.
Been wanting to photograph it for a while, just never got round to it.
I took this from just outside John Lewis and had about 6 Merseytravel security guards eyeing me up!
Got away without a pointless lecture. Annoying thing for me is those red and white plastic barriers that seem to litter the city.

Energy Centre / Levitt Bernstein

April 13th, 2011


Recently discovered this little jem of a building, but think its been there about a year.

It is Liv Uni’s new energy centre designed by Levitt Bernstein and I think it looks great.

More to come.

The paint store

February 7th, 2011

An awesome looking workshop from a recent shoot of a refurbed part of the Royal Liverpool Hospital.
This is to be a paint store. Wonder what it will look like in a few months?

Cold, cold, new year

January 18th, 2011

It was a pretty cold, snowy, holiday period and to be honest I decided I didn’t want to do much driving in it so had a relaxing time at home for most of it. I did however take a trip to Delamere forest one day with some friends. I didn’t shoot much except for this frozen stream feeding one of the meres.

Cadair Idris & Mawddach Estuary

December 14th, 2010

Here is a recent commission for the recently refurbished Cross FoXes near Dolgellau.
This view is looking across the Mawddach estuary at the beast that is Cadair Idris. Its not one peak as such but a huge hunk of rock with a few dotted around it and a couple of very nice glacial lakes. Not the highest mountain range in Wales but certainly one of the biggest in terms of area.

You can click on the image above and see it bigger on my Flickr stream, but here’s the thing, it just doesn’t do it justice! Really you NEED to see this printed. The Cross FoXes is home to two 1.3m long fine art prints and a floor to ceiling wall paper print. Go for a drive, check it out and have some ace food.

Llandegla and Coed y Brenin

November 20th, 2010


Couple of new shots from North Wales. First image is a tree we came across on a walk in Coed Llandegla, some awesome colours and detail in the foliage and lichen. Second shot is a new one from Afon Wen in Coed y Brenin. Making a little series of this river, the blue rock is pretty awesome.

Llyn Cau

November 3rd, 2010

Recent(ish) photo of Llyn Cau on the south side of Cadair Idris in southern Snowdonia. This was shot for a restaurant/hotel that is opening really close to the mountain, this didn’t get chosen but others did, which will feature on here as soon as the project is completed and prints are in there.

The lake is said to bottomless and home to a monster called a Afanc, an Welsh water dragon. Legend has it King Arthur captured the Afanc and tying it behind his horse, he dragged it to Llyn Cau, where he released it.
