Resistance is Futile

Taken on a grey day wandering with Jawed and Jiri.

Shop Window

Taking pictures of shop windows can be a lazy form of street photography but sometimes they’re hard to resist - apples.

London Open House

For the previous two years on London Open House weekend I’ve intended to visit the William Booth College but never quite managed it. Mainly I wanted to try the view from the tower but because the site covers a large area and is surrounded by high walls it also has an air of mystery.

On the way I noticed another building that was in the Open House scheme. I hadn’t seen it on the LOH web site because it’s described as ‘Stealth House’. This picture was taken inside (more information on the architect’s site - click on What’s New and Grove Lane). For a view I shot from the William Booth College tower, click here. Apart from the view it was all very austere and not at all mysterious.

Hard Hat Zone

Last weekend I spent some time in the Malvern Hills taking terrible landscape pictures. Fortunately we also managed to squeeze in a day trip to Birmingham for some proper pictures of rubbish, building sites, etc., including this one.

Independent

I had a photo in The Independent on Friday (they don’t seem to cover art reviews on their web site, so no link). It was a picture of one of Paul Spooner’s Butcher’s Shops. There was also an article on this in last Sunday’s Observer (more info).

Crumpled

I’ve made a new gallery of recent pictures [link removed].
