The artist's impression, that I found on-line, is rather more utopian than the reality ... although it might just be that my visit coincided with another grey, lightless day. And given it was built in the fifties, I'm guessing that…

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…

Getting into practice for the Landscape Narrative in April. This particular landscape has a somewhat pithy narrative.

... 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.

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.

Another shop closes, but no doubt something will be popping up soon ... would be a good location for a pop-up gallery!

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…

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.

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

The biting wind meant no-one was stopping to smell the flowers or anything else.

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…
