Brett from the London Street Photography Festival asked me to plug their international street photo awards. Meanwhile, the latest LIP magazine has a series of my house corner pictures across the centre spread. They are intended to be laid out in a grid like this but if you can’t get a copy of the mag you can see them singly on Flickr. Think of them as indoor street photography.

LIP Annual Show
October 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
This is one of two of my new wide-o-rama pictures that are in the LIP Annual Show which runs from 18-21 October at Strand Gallery on John Adam Street (just behind the Strand at the Charing Cross end). Like a good member I’m doing my bit by sitting in the gallery on Friday morning, the 21st so drop in, say hello and look at the other 120+ pictures.

This is the first test of a something I’m building so that I can get back to making panoramic pictures. Super simple and lots of fun. Click to make it bigger.
Surrealism Now?
June 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
When I think about photography and surrealism I tend to wonder if it’s still possible to do straight photography that could be considered surrealist. The question will be tested over the coming week as my “instruction” for the Street Photography Now Project Flickr group, here. Please feel free to respond by joining the group and posting one picture, that you’ve shot during this week (ends 10am GMT Friday 17 June).
Apologies to RSS subscribers for the recent outage followed by a blast of old posts. It was broken and has been fixed as part of the (still ongoing) site redesign.
Outsiders

I shot this yesterday and it prompted me to update the Wait gallery. I’m fairly sure you had to work quite hard to find those pictures previously but as part of a slow upgrade of this site, I’ve done something sensible for a change and added it to the photography page. [Pic]
Twins and Quads
November 9, 2010 By 2 Comments
This picture is made from four cameras triggered simultaneously. It’s a weird feeling taking a picture when someone else is pressing the shutter release on their camera a few feet away. More fun is pressing the button and making 3 other cameras take a picture (so we took turns). These were made in 2007 with Jawed Ashraf, Helen Cheng and Dayton Taylor, so long ago that I’m not certain which picture is “mine” and who was triggering – not that it matters. I dug it out because I went to a talk at the Blurb pop-up shop by Wassink and Lundgren where they showed a series which you can see here (if you click on Artists & Guests then WassinkLundren then ‘show work’ then Tokyo Tokyo). It’s clear they didn’t use synchronised cameras but it’s a nice idea. As regular readers will know, Jawed and I did similar things with lightsquare (where we tried to catch the flash from the other camera by shouting) and Twins 1 and Twins 2 (2004) which are more automated and random than any of the stuff above. Then, of course, we had to make a movie. [Pic]
Street Photography Now

At last, a book of contemporary street photography and even better, I have a photo in it (not this one, it’s the ‘wait’ picture that was blogged in July ’03). I’ve only just got my copy but on first browse it look great. You can like it on Facebook or perhaps you’d better buy it first on amazon

Park Pictures

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures in parks lately. You can see some more of them and find out why here.
The second picture on that page is in the latest issue of FLIP magazine which you can buy in the Photographers’ Gallery and other outlets listed at that link. [Pic]
I’m a Photographer not a Terrorist
January 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
See something suspicious? This was shot at the I’m a photographer, not a terrorist event / flashmob / protest thing last Saturday. Despite the thousands of photographers who turned out it was a fairly quiet but jolly occasion and there wasn’t a lot of incident. At one point the National Gallery security decided it would be a good idea to prevent people taking pictures from the portico – normally a good vantage point for tourists taking pictures of Trafalgar Square. Of course, this action didn’t go unnoticed and only encouraged the eager photographers to flock to the steps. Eventually the security guys gave up and closed the entrance. You can see lots more pictures in the flickr pool, including me (snapped accidentally by Cory Doctorow, fame at last) and another one of mine. [Pic]

I’ve put my Veriwide 100 on ebay. A bit sad to see it go but it’s not getting enough use. Click here to buy! Sold. [Pic]
Wobbly Bridge Auction
November 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I usually post recent pictures in the blog but this one (from 2002) is in an auction in aid of Article 25. Their Art for Architecture fund raiser takes place on December 3rd. The photography section is a bit thin (only two pictures but nice to be alongside the spectacular Wired cover by Jason Hawkes ). You can find out more and download the catalogues.
I did a new scan of this and have decided to make it a limited edition of 50. The print is A2 size (42Ã59.4cm / 16.5Ã23.4in) and available mounted and framed for £250. [Pic]
