The London Lockdown was announced on March 23, 2020. Since the initial lockdown and the recent easing of restrictions I’ve continued to take photographs both at home and on my walks. I’ve amassed quite a few so have decided to separate my lockdown images into themes; the first of which is street abstracts in Kentish … Read more
After a few weeks of unprecedented sunshine and warm temperatures in locked-down London it’s become more typically cloudy and rainy. Yesterday I was walking back home after doing some exercise on Hampstead Heath. It had been raining; my trainers were soaked and annoyingly my mind persisted in recalling Sacha Distel’s version of Raindrops Keep Fallin’ … Read more
I’ve gathered a selection of signs and messages that I’ve encountered during the past month. They date from 20 March, 2020, several days before London lockdown was announced to images taken this week. Some are official, some intimate, some are signs of gratitude and hope. They range from examples of orders and restrictions created by … Read more

Sometimes it is a single eye, a fragment of a torn or folded poster. It has also been a mystic 3rd … Read more
It’s coming up to Valentine’s Day and in the past week I’ve been looking through my photo catalogue for images I’ve taken on the theme of love, passion and romance. I recently encountered an interesting article in The Washington Post written by Monica Hesse. She discusses an iconic photograph dating from the end of WW2. … Read more
Today, January 31 2020, is Brexit day. At 11pm tonight the UK will leave the European Union. Like with all goodbyes to relationships that have meant something to me, I feel sad. I’d like to mark the day with a few thoughts and images. I was thirteen years old when I discovered the BBC drama … Read more
I was in New Orleans over the New Year. I’m a big fan of the music and even back at home in London constantly listen to the New Orleans local radio station WWOZ. During my trip I was listening to the station and came across an interesting track. I recognised the melody which I’d sung … Read more
I have previously blogged on the theme of images of transient attachments. In this update I am focussing on portraits of adults who still have their childhood attachments. The photograph below was taken when I accompanied my friend Jodie to a hospital appointment and was surprised and moved when I found out she’d also brought … Read more
