The Writer

Taken at a café in Cucuron, south eastern France.

Stuck for somewhere to watch the final?

I’ve been so busy and all over the place for the last week I just simply haven’t had to time to pick up the camera, let alone post anything to the blog. Thanks for all the comments on the last … Continue reading→

Clash

22 Jun ’06

This Nike ad has caused a bit of controversy recently, so I went to Oxford Street Nike Town to see if I could get some images of people reacting to it. Surprisingly most weren’t giving it a second glance. Update: … Continue reading→

Double Cone

22 Jun ’06

Well I’ve not managed to get out with the camera much this week so I’m scraping the barrel a bit with this one. It did make me chuckle though. Oh, and if you didn’t know, the building it St Paul’s … Continue reading→

Dodgy Photos

20 Jun ’06

Portrait anyone? Update: If anyone is interested this photobooth is here.

Sheep Drive #1

18 Jun ’06

This is the sheep drive that took place in London on Saturday as part of the London Architecture Week. A flock of sheep we’re driven from Borough Market to Smithfield Market across the Millennium Bridge. Thousands turned up to watch; … Continue reading→

FIRE

8 Jun ’06

Yesterday I went out for a stroll with my friend Stephen. At this point he’d like me to point out we’re not gay. Anyway, I was considering not taking the camera as it would have been a little rude. But … Continue reading→

Fashion

1 Jun ’06

This is the London College of Fashion building on Oxford Street. I just didn’t know what to do with regards to the processing on this shot so ended up adding some grain and trying an attempt at a seventies tone. … Continue reading→

Diggers

31 May ’06

I was strolling between Piccadilly and Regent Street and I stumbled across this gaping void behind one of the buildings. It stopped me in my tracks, so thought it was worthy of a post.

Wood and Water

24 May ’06

Guess what it’s doing in London? Again.

Old News

18 May ’06

I was trying to capture a leaf spiralling in the wind, but this newspaper had other ideas.

The Sea of People

10 May ’06

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, The Sultan’s Elephant was followed around London by a sea of people so I thought I’d show you The Sea of People. It’s interesting to see in this shot how many people have spotted … Continue reading→

Make A Left

12 Apr ’06

Shot from the hip whilst moving. Thanks for all the comments on my recent posts. I must admit that I’ve not been too pleased with what I’m capturing with the camera this week and I’m starting to get the feeling … Continue reading→

I Walked All Around London And All I Got Was This Lousy Photograph

10 Apr ’06

Walking around today feeling very uninspired for some reason. I think I need to head further out to new pastures as I keep taking the same turns and seeing the same things – or maybe I’m just not looking hard … Continue reading→

Adidas

4 Apr ’06

Thanks for all the comments on the previous two shots, especially yesterday’s. It’s always encouraging to see some constructive feedback. Anyway, I only had a few minutes to pop out with the camera today and this caught my eye as … Continue reading→

Gum Street Art

30 Mar ’06

This is Ben at work and I suppose you could call him a street artist. He goes around London, Camden in this instance, painting onto chewing gum that he finds on the pavement. (He burns the top layer off first.) … Continue reading→

Future Punk

19 Mar ’06

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→

Groove

17 Mar ’06

Thanks for all the comments on yesterday’s image, I’m glad it was well received as it’s probably one of my favourites. Oh, and the title was a line from Puttin’ On The Ritz by Irving Berlin which was written in … Continue reading→

On That Famous Thoroughfare

15 Mar ’06

I always seem to find that when I’m at a bit of a creative low with the photography, I just walk in a different direction and I stumble across gems like this. This shadow of The Ritz’s sign stopped me … Continue reading→

The Less Said…

30 Jan ’06

This is the final shot from the series of Selfridges windows and I wanted to post it because I have no idea what’s going on. Well, I do. He (or she?) is trying to look up her skirt, but he’s … Continue reading→

Angel

27 Jan ’06

This is the second shot from the Selfridges window displays. This particular window was around the side entrance and tucked away where the staff go into the store and I’m glad I wandered past it. It had such an angelic … Continue reading→

Witch

26 Jan ’06

I’ve been a bit behind on my daily posts this week, but I’m trying to catch up now. On my trip back from taking the previous shot I happened to pass Selfridges and they have new window displays. Again, as … Continue reading→

Illuminating Sunset

25 Jan ’06

This was taken just outside Hyde Park late yesterday afternoon. There was an amazing sunset and the sun was a huge red ball dipping under the horizon, but this was as close as I could get. I suspect the odd … Continue reading→

Off With His Head

18 Jan ’06

I was quite surprised and pleased at the number of comments on yesterday’s shot. So I went out today looking for more reflections in puddles, but the light wasn’t right and I couldn’t find anything of interest. Whilst crouching at … Continue reading→
