English photographer Paul Pickard has collaborated with BAFTA award winning film director Shane Meadows on his latest film - Made of Stone - a documentary about the legendary Manchester rock band the Stone Roses.

Shots from the archive of Paul Pickard were included in film sequences to illustrate the rise of the Indie band after they reunited to get back together after breaking up in 1996.

The film portrays the rise of the band to cult status, the break-up, and recent reunion, which culminated in a series of huge concerts in their home town in front of more the 220,000 fans

Paul Pickard - who grew up just a few miles from the home of Shane Meadows - is a widely published editorial and advertising photographer from Staffordshire in the middle of England. His portraiture work include shots of Queen Elizabeth II, Hugh Grant and Vinnie Jones.

The film has its World Premiere in Manchester on Thursday 30th May and Paul Pickard said " I am very much looking forward to seeing the film, I have always owned a copy of their album The Stone Roses since its release in 1989, I really enjoyed meeting the band and photographing them over the years, it will be interesting to see my pictures used in the final cut"

Matthew Sileo, part-time photographer and full-time graduate student of Conservation Biology, has donated his time and photographic skills to raise money for the schoolchildren of Sittee River, Belize.

Sittee River is a small village in southeast Belize that college students of tropical ecology have visited for decades in order to study at Possum Point Biological Station. The recently founded Sittee River Trading Co. is a nonprofit dedicated to the sustainable development of this community. After meeting the children at Sittee River Methodist School, Matthew had the idea to design a 2013 calendar featuring photos he took of the biodiversity featured in and around the biological station, and donate the proceeds to the scholarship fund.

SiteWelder allowed Matthew to efficiently market and sell his product, and his net donation to the schoolchildren is approaching $500!

I am very pleased to have had the opportunity to travel to Cuba the end of April with a group of photographers. What a time it was! I decided to shoot almost exclusively using my iPhone 4S. It was a somewhat daring experiment and I did take along a "big girl" camera, just in case my phone was lost, stolen or in some way incapacitated. This trip was a photographer's feast and I was the only one in the group who was not toting a huge load of equipment. Some had two and three cameras with many extra lenses and lots of other paraphernalia. Some 4000+ images later you can see some results on my web site in the gallery entitled "miphone in Cuba". I took my first panorama using my iPhone.

I am doing all the post processing on my iPhone or on my iPad so I still have many more images to edit. It's a work in progress!
