You Will Never Look at Them In The Same Way Again
Which aims to capture the disturbance to surfaces created by acts of joy riding and arson by zooming into scorched, disfigured dumped burnt out cars Each picture I produce has a fascinating story attached to it, this work can also be found at www.johngarghan.co.uk

100 Strangers http://www.flickr.com/photos/johngarghan/sets/72157626005448291/
In 2011 I completed this project and I'm not stopping, the concept is: approach a complete stranger ask to take their photograph and find out something interesting about them, and post it on a website. From that project I found people with Famous Names so now I am working on 100 Famous Strangers Who Are Not Really Famous I am looking for a 90 year old Alice Cooper. The aim is to have an exhibition with 100 photos of "famous" people with the "famous" people attending.

I'm passionate about cricket and since retiring from playing not too long ago I photograph cricket grounds either as a landscape with a cricket game in the landscape or feature people in a street photography style. My work features Test Match cricket (England v Australia at Perth or Edgbaston) club and county cricket (Worcestershire v Yorkshire at that photogenic ground New Road) I'm also interested in cricket grounds that have died or are a new complex, and of course the unusual places were cricket is played. again the cricket work finds its way onto my Flickr site

The current ongoing project with my cricket work is Coombs Wood Sports and Social Club. I'm documenting their 90 year old home being converted to 82 houses and the building and move to a new state of the art complex www.flickr.com/photos/coombswood
