...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 3 minutes These are some more images from Hyde Park and the surrounding areas, taken alongside some of my research photos – these are much more an aesthetic project, aiming to capture the micro textuaral details, isolating these from the full scene. Though of course these are …
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 …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Light Night is an annual event in Leeds, that has been going for a few years now in which spaces in the city are taken over and become art installations and performance spaces. I had a play with my new(ish) camera and got a few …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes It is a horrible, wet day. It is supposed to be July, and I have a new camera and it is chucking it down. Of course the rain and the urban grit can make some great visual statements, but for now, these will be through …
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 …

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 …
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: 2 minutes I’ve found a setting on the new camera to take shots of fireworks – a long exposure that saturates the image nicely. Hyde Park is literally like a war-zone at the moment, and this is one of the things that does piss me off about …
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 …
