Resistance is Futile
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).
