My pick of the week for #PhotobookFriday (11.03.16) in the fabulous Facebook group Flak Photo Books. Looking for inspiration to record the ongoing demolition/remolition site that is London (I woke up one morning to find the local school had just…

100316 Early Morning Tipple

... but not mine.  I don't do red wine first thing in the morning.  Probably left over from the night before, but the trolley park at Heathrow wouldn't be my first choice of party venue.

090316 Will it, won’t it?

I had to dash off, so I don't know the answer, but it didn't look to me as if it would all go through that window.  I suspect the chairs on the top landed the other side sans legs.

060316 On the Move

MisterMac on the steps of our new residence - it is a block of flats and not one rather splendid mansion, before anyone thinks we've won the lottery.  The renovations have now been completed and we have no excuse not…

050316 A Nod to Brohm

I think I have garden sheds on the brain.  Having chosen Joachim Brohm's Typology 1979 as my pick for yesterday's #photofriday, I couldn't help wondering whether the elderly relative had modelled his garden on Brohm's book.

040316 Metaphor

But is it the tree the panopticon with the all-seeing eye and 'obtaining power of mind over mind' or does it feel caged in?  Time will tell.

Broom, Joachim (2014) Typology 1979

This week’s pick for #photofriday is Joachim Brohm’s Typology 1979. With a nod to the Bechers, Brohm’s volume was only published in 2014, despite having taken the photographs during his student years some thirty-five years earlier. Although photographically peopleless, the…

030316 Chair

No text today, just a lot of chatter and mixed baggery.  So immersed were we in talking photography, that I actually forgot to do any until the light was fading.  Then went to a fascinating panel discussion at TPG on appropriation…

020316 Legal Text

Doing some research for the legal project - the ancient laws are fascinating; I could spend days in the library browsing through them.  I still haven't found the fisheries law governing the removal of skate wings.  Apparently, on account of…

010316 Sad Text

Roadside crosses are always sad.  This is the first one I've seen with the 'Remember Me' flower, but I find something rather awkward in the juxtaposition of the vibrancy of the printed red flower with the dead real flowers. On a…

290216 World’s End

Not quite World's End, but a few stops down the King's Road.  I wish I'd started documenting the King's Road when we first moved to Chelsea.  I suppose it's not to late to start now, but the pace of demolishing…

270216 Cooking the Books

Well, balancing rather than cooking, although they are covering the kitchen table.  Helping the elderly relative with his book-keeping.  A complicated task as some things were in sterling, others in Euros and the old stuff in Schilling.  I'd forgotten about…
