... and four heads are even better! One of the weekend markets in Greenwich, full of fabulous stuff. I was, however, very restrained and managed to come home - again by boat - empty-handed.
We had the DVJ AGM today in Greenwich. I normally travel by train but, because the weather was so nice, we took the boat home. What a great way to get around London - and what's more there's a bar…
If you've got that feeling of deja-vu, it's because you've seen this building before, but taken from the other side. I love shooting this building because it always has such different light. Even at 9.00 in the morning it looks…
The blizzards today definitely looked better through the pub window than they did on the outside. Crikey - how long is this Siberian snap going to last? At least I'm getting value for money from the thermals I bought for…
Photo-takingwise, another dull, uninspiring day. The bitter NE wind put paid to any plans, so rather more time spent drinking coffee than shooting. Photo-viewingwise, an interesting visit to the Saatchi Gallery. Thumbs up for Sergei Vasiliev's Russian Criminal Tattoos; thumbs…
It's a few years since I've been to Switzerland and it's changed quite a bit. Rather more McDonalds and Starbucks than I care for and neither cuckoo clock nor cowbell in sight. However, zum Alten Stoeckli did us proud on…
There is now so much stuff around to evoke feelings of nostalgia and I too am a fan. I love retro photography, retro music and am waiting for flared trousers to come back into fashion (particularly those with triangles inserted…
The aged Pa, as PGW would say, celebrates his birthday. A lovely family do and a suitably processed pic to reflect his era. I passed on using the collodion wet plate process though, relying instead on digital and Photoshop.
Test driving a new model. This was pic #52 and the first one that was in focus. I think I need to re-visit the manual ... Having a simple camera as my weapon of choice, I find some of these…
An addition to the collection of 'items lost and carefully put on railings'. I had great hopes for today, as the day dawned with that lovely wintery, watery light. But it was short-lived and the sky soon reverted to grey.
Continued bewilderment as to why plants will grow in the most bizarre places that seemingly lack all the things plants need to thrive and yet will not grow under my careful nurturing.
A trip to the V&A and a stroll through the Buddha gallery en route to the cafe. I wonder if the curators in this room have to undergo special hair-styling in order to keep a watchful eye on the exhibits!
As the current climate is hindering any progress with my photography projects, I have resorted to snapping vases of daffodils. These are the marbles that lurk beneath.
Despite waking up to a blizzard and packing the pick-axe, flares, blankets, as well as the Kendal mint cake for the drive to Bath, it appeared that we were right at the edge of the bad weather. Having allowed myself…
Oh dear, another of those days where it gets to 5.00 and you realise you have been photographically inspired by nothing at all, so it's a 'shoot whatever's around'.
I was intrigued by the plants in the church - we're used to seeing flowers, but pot plants? It took a while to work out that they are most likely there for Palm Sunday, for that is in a few…
Signs of spring - a green leaf or two. This shed or garage is becoming a bit of a favourite subject, lying conveniently between the breakfast cafe and school.
