The Writer

Taken at a café in Cucuron, south eastern France.

So this is the first post of Year Two. Thanks for all the kind londonrubbish.com birthday messages yesterday, they’re all very much appreciated. This shot was taken in Dulwich Park at the weekend when the weather was glorious. Just to … Continue reading→

ISO Cream

30 May ’06

I fell into that trap again, I went around on a very sunny day firing off shots on ISO 400. However, I was quite pleased with the results, although they were noticeably grainier than I’m used to. I toned this … Continue reading→

Well, I’ve had a few days off although not completely away from the camera. It literally does go everywhere with me. But I didn’t manage to capture anything I was that happy with so I decided to go through some … Continue reading→

Untitled

Another from the Alternative Fashion Show, but this has been heavily cropped from the original. As I was trimming the ninety odd shots I did take, I nearly deleted this one as it was out of focus and the background … Continue reading→

Future Punk

Now, I would really like to tell you that this is someone I stopped in the street, but alas I’ve still not quite plucked up the courage to do that. Other than for a shadow of course. After seeing these … Continue reading→

Camden People

Niqab. Update: Looks like I’m still in the running for The Urbs 2005 : World’s Best Urban Photoblog albeit second from last. You also have to scroll right down the page, which obviously doesn’t help.

I visited Colchester Zoo with some friends at the weekend and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I’m a little unsure of my feelings about zoos, but it was clean, well kept and all the animals looked very healthy … Continue reading→

Christmas Surprise

The final shot I’m going to post from the Selfridges shop windows. I think I may have over saturated this image, it looks *very* red on my screen. Let me know what you think.

The Pearly King Of Thornton Heath

18 Oct ’05

This is Larry Barnes a.k.a “The Pearly King of Thornton Heath”. I was taking pictures of people standing in front of the shop windows at Selfridges on Oxford Street yesterday, but sadly not getting a great deal worthwhile. Then after … Continue reading→

Another Portrait (Kind Of)

16 Oct ’05

This was taken whilst I was getting some shots of earrings made by a friend of mine. I was trying to use the sunlight coming through a set of blinds and thought this was quite a good shot. The lighting … Continue reading→

A Portrait Of Sorts

14 Oct ’05

I try not to post too many pictures of my son, because it doesn’t really further my portraiture photography skills and the comments don’t usually go much further than “Ahhhhh”. He stands there and I point the camera. Then nine … Continue reading→

Too Hot For Biscuits

We walked around Lucca yesterday morning and it really is a beautiful city. Although after getting back and looking through my umpteen pictures of little streets and churches I was very underwhelmed. So this shot kind of summed up my … Continue reading→
