It was just one of those days where braving the elements did not seem very appealing. Instead I stayed tucked up in the warm and took some shots of the 'Magic Spring'. I'm sure they used to be called Slinkies.
I've got some infrared film, but thought it wise to try and gain a better understanding of IR with digital first. As far as I can make out, it involves a lot of guesswork re focusing and shutter speed. Furthermore,…
Having admired Mrs M's winning image Tower Fog, I rather hoped for the opportunity to do something similar this morning. I have now travelled the Cannon St - London Bridge stretch often enough to know exactly where to sit and…
This just made me giggle. This is 'The Junk Shop" - I love it, no pretensions of being an antiques emporium, just lots of lovely junk. And a copy of Dorothy Lange's biography for £3, which is no longer in…

Quick return visit to Mayfair. I'd like to say that it was because the light was so perfect, I could go and re-shoot the L1853 Mayfair pix. However, I would be lying. I had to return to Mayfair to take…
