An analysis of stickers on posts. Although advertising stickers have been around for ages, these fabric ones held on with Velcro are definitely a new move in street decoration.

The beach is beginning to wake up for the summer. Hopefully not long now before those long balmy evenings are upon us. Less than a month until the longest day and rain stopped play an hour before sunset. Tripod remained…

The street artists are now tagging pavements and walls with quotations from the political greats and the advertising moguls are using street language to promote pizza. Hmmm - a one-off or start of a new trend?

At last, I've been able to borrow a loan model, so my camera can go back to Germany to have the rangefinder re-calibrated. Oh the joy of not having to shoot at f8 or at infinity. I was quite carried…

Or perhaps that should be Union-Joke Ken, for UJK was enterprisingly raising money by selling joke magazines at Reading Services. Well anything that creates a laugh on the M4 has to be worth the investment.

We had a patch of garden that was always boggy. I have romantic notions of there being a hidden lake or stream beneath that leads to a lost world, but it's probably just a leaky water pipe. Anyway, as a…

I think Brimscombe Port is in the same category as Wigan Pier, insofar as it doesn't really exist. Unlike Wigan Pier, however, Brimscombe Port is not the title of a great work of literature, but perhaps it could be. Maybe…

Although obviously I'm not in Rome. In rural parts, sunsets are the thing to do, but I never seem to be around for those amazingly vivid colours.

Today we made pinhole cameras at school. Technically, due to my advanced skills with a sewing needle (LOL), mine worked very well indeed. However, in terms of aesthetics, imagination and just sheer brilliance, the prize has to go To Roger…

It was Sunday Shoot day and so inevitably the bright sunny day soon turned to a flat dull light and then rain ... and it was jolly cold. As ever, the Blighty spirit of the members prevailed, although I think…

This spot was 'Posh Rubbish Corner' as there was always a pile of rubbish here, but none of your coffee-dregs and fag ends, but rather rubbish in bags from designer shops, brochures for exclusive cars etc. The council has obviously…

I love Chelsea at this time of year as it prepares for the Chelsea Flower Show. Although tickets for the real thing are impossible to get and outrageously expensive, we can still enjoy the fringe flower show. Local shops and…

Great fun today test-driving a tilt-and-shift lens. It wasn't as scary (in terms of bells, whistles and knobs) as I thought it would be, but there was a lot more user decision-making required than I had anticipated. The test-drive was…

So this is another shot from the building that I'm documenting before it goes. I'm calling it the Warren, with its true location to be revealed on its demise.

As I trip over the piles of rubbish that adorn our streets, I wonder whether they are piled there by refuse operatives, who will be back later in the van to do a quick scoop up, or whether it is…

Well I'm sure that's how the tabloids would describe it. Having seen other pics of high profile children, I understand it is the done thing to put a highly pixelated square over their faces, but it just looked daft and…

But it is a good example about what I mean about re-cycling- leave it out for a day or two and see if anyone else wants it before binning it.
