I think it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, I did actually head to Borough Markets on the weekend before last and managed to get a few shots, but I think I’ll save those for a rainy day and instead talk about the weekend just passed. On Saturday I headed out to Richmond Park […]

I received an unusual email request recently from a friend in Australia. He wanted me to hunt down and photograph a piece of graffiti which read “You are not how much money you have in the bank” for a project he was doing on profound graffiti works. I had a street name to work with […]

As I’ve not managed to get out there with the camera this week I’ve decided to take up a suggestion (thanks Hebrew Hustle) to document my progression as a budding photographer.

On the weekend I decided to brave the crowds and head to the TNT Travel Show. My official reason for going was to hear a talk from some punter on Travel Photography (does that need capitalisation? It felt like it did for some reason, if only I had Fowler’s Guide to Modern English Usage handy […]

After starting off in a blaze of glory a few weeks ago my photo taking seems to have stalled somewhat and for a second embarrassing week I have nothing new to show you. I’m blaming it on the fact I’ve started work this week so have 35 hours less to get out there, and also […]

As you can probably tell I’ve given the format of the blog a bit of a re-jig this week, at the expense of actually going out and taking photos. After my over the top posting of images from 4 different shoots last week I’ve left nothing new in reserve for this week so will have […]

As I mentioned last week this is supposed to be a weekly blog, now, no sooner had I finished posting last week’s entry than I went out and took some images I was quite pleased with. The compulsion to do an ad hoc entry was strong, but I told myself to wait as I may […]
