Upon the open waves of the sea that is the internet you occasionally come across a gem you'll use for a life time. A tool so simple and powerful that you wonder how you did without it before...

A few weeks ago in the 31st May edition of Grazia Magazine I had my first nationally published photo.
In the hype for Sex And The City 2; Grazia published a whole host of articles linked to the release in any way possible - one of which was a host of micro-articles on bars in the UK which the editorial staff (or whoever) thought were the most "SATC-esque". One of these bars was 10 Feet Tall in Cardiff - one of my favourite bars in my city. As Cardiff's premier photographer for the night-life- and bar-scene their first call when they found out their bar was going to be featured was to me to ask me to take some photos... To which I gladly said "Of course!".
Below is a selection of shots of 10 Feet Tall taken in May (2010) and a scan of the article from Grazia.
