Secret Places

IGP1728

Setting off from work last night with my camera, and choosing an entirely new direction, I got some surprises. I never knew that Victoria was so close to the exclusive environs of Eaton Place – home to many embassies and huge townhouses. It’s unfortunate that all the squares in the area are private “residents only” […]

Goodbye London!

Nope, sorry to burst your bubble, I’m not going anywhere 😉 “Goodbye London” is the title of a delightful new song by Luke Jackson, with accompanying graphics and direction by Murray John, that’s doing the rounds on YouTube at the moment.

This weekend was another quiet one for me (the coming one won’t be!) but I did find myself down in Soho and over by the river towards the end of the week, and in Bethnal Green at the weekend, so I thought you might enjoy sharing some of the sights with me. From Soho June […]

It’s a special person’s birthday today, and as I was out in our large backyard to take a picture for Digital Photography School’s current assignment, “Chair”, I thought I’d photograph a few flowers to mark the occasion… Oh, and here’s the chair I photographed for the assignment – the mower needs to come out I […]
