Backstreets and Rooftops

Reading Time: 2 minutes Walking around Hyde Park, I have come up with an idea I want to play with. I have always been quite taken with the local roofscapes – in a heavily built up inner-city area like this there is such a jumble of walls and roofs,

Reading Time: < 1 minutes Just a quick one. had a quick go at stitching together a panorama today, of the view from my office window over campus. I’m quite pleased with how this has turned out.

Alternative Views of Hyde Park

Reading Time: 2 minutes This is broadly just another round up of some photos from Hyde Park over the last few months. I guess the theme is looking beyond the expected, and picking out some interesting vignettes, both on a micro and macro scale, which add to the body

A Visual Ethnography of Hyde Park

Reading Time: 4 minutes So this is starting to bring together the ideas I have for my Dissertation, and the reason I bought this little camera last year. In the course of my life in Hyde park, I have been acting the role of ‘researcher participat[ing]’, as Herbert Gans 

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 

Otley

Otley

Reading Time: 2 minutes Just a random day, random wander about Otley. I had a bit of a play with the camera and it’s various settings by the river. It’s taken quite a while to even get close to learning what this can do, even a cheap compact. I’ve
