PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ve been photographing a particular view – the view out my kitchen window – for five years. I started in mid October 2016, at the height of Autumn and initially chose 40 images taking me up to October 2017. The one year project was featured in the December 2017 issue of the newspaper Kentishtowner. I decided … Read more
I was in London’s Chinatown the other day and took a number of photographs. One of the images featured the silhouette of a leafy tree, flanked by rows of red and yellow suspended paper lanterns. I made a connection to a photograph I’d taken when I was last in Israel of multi-rowed ruby display of … Read more
I’ve recently returned from a restorative summer holiday in Palma, the capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca. The following images were all taken on the trip and contain representations of palms and leafy elements. The first two photographs were taken in an old café, C’an Joan de s’Aigo, where the speciality is a delicious … Read more
I was in Paris for a couple of days to attend the opening of the Women Street Photographers exhibition at 59 Rivoli Gallery. As I was walking back to Gare du Nord to catch my Eurostar train, I noticed the mannequin hand in a men’s clothing store. Three fingers were broken, and just the thumb … Read more

The selection spans both representations of animals and real living creatures, and is chosen from images taken over the past year. I had a recent surprise encounter with a camel in Kentish Town.

Since my original blog on Photographs Inspired by Earrings back in 2018 I’ve felt motivated to both capture instances of earring-wearing as well as reassess my relationship to a hitherto indispensable accessory. I was in Portobollo Road market last Saturday when amongst the crowd this young woman caught my attention. Doll’s hands, severed at the … Read more
Last Sunday I was in Highgate Woods when I encountered a man with straight, waist length hair wearing an elaborate turquoise brocade coat. He was wheeling a large suitcase along the path: He was also sporting a rather psychedelic top hat. I found out he was a magician and had just performed at a children’s … Read more
I usually dress in black with flashes of vibrant colour but recently have been gravitating to wearing lighter and brighter colours.
