Cable Street and Other Riots

Cable Street and Other Riots

Reading Time: 3 minutes Back in London again. Meeting again on St Mary Axe I wandered past the Lloyds Building and Leadenhall Market. I was struck by this mkeshift protest memorial to Ian Tomlinson, the newpaper seller murdered (and I will state my opinion here) by the police recently. 

Mornington Crescent

Reading Time: 2 minutes Back in London again. I recall when I was very young and even more obsessed with the Underground that I am now, making my poor father take me on every line – possibly harder now with more gates and barriers – during the course of 

Cranes and Sunsets

Cranes and Sunsets

Reading Time: 2 minutes I guess if there’s any theme to this it’s more of the idea of looking up at the sky, but really it’s just posting a few good images. I shot the cranes over town the other morning. I loved the way they fade into the

Reading Time: 2 minutes This months London adventure I went over to the Natural History Museum. This is somewhere I have been as a child (every dinosaur obsessed kids dream), so it was nice to see it again. I am upset that they have replaced the Diplodocus though. My

Woodhouse Walk

Woodhouse Walk

Reading Time: 2 minutes Another dreary day, save photographically by the beautiful way the light has fallen in the ginnel at the top of Grosvenor Road and on the track aside to Walkers Lane. We walked up through Headingley to the top of The Ridge below Meanwood for this. 

Kirkstall Walk

Kirkstall Walk

Reading Time: 2 minutes Tried to take a nice walk up to Kirkstall today, inspired by some very good shots I got previously round the canal, but the weather was very much against me. It actually decided to pelt it down with sleet breifly, which was not particularly lovely. 

Rime and Sunsets

Rime and Sunsets

Reading Time: 3 minutes We’ve had a bit of a cold snap. You could tell this was on the cards from Sunday night. When there’s ice and snow in the air, but no real clouds the sky above Hyde Park takes on this eerie orange glow from the reflected 

Hyde Park Skies

Hyde Park Skies

Reading Time: < 1 minutes For somewhere that in many ways is so scummy, Hyde Park seems to have some wierd charm to it, and this is something that I guess has made up the core of this ‘blog (and the predecessors which have been subsumed into it). I’m not

Reading Time: 3 minutes This year is dissertation year, and I have been thinking about my dissertation and what I want it to be. I’ve been playing about with taking pictures on my phone for some time, but due to my overall shit financial situation (ok, yes, I spend
