My rangefinder has slipped, which means the only pix in focus are those taken at infinity:-( Until I get home and can get it re-calibrated, it's infinity only pix for me - or a lot of trial and error. 213…

They say that as you get older, policemen look younger. Does that include traffic wardens? If so, then I feel ancient.

And yes, it is not Stonehenge, but it was supposed to be. I used to be good at map-reading, but since I've had SatNav, I've become somewhat lazy. I had a meeting on the south coast today and was slavishly…

Actually, I'm rather glad I didn't plunge - it would have been a long way down, for today I was at the top of the Shard. The views are so amazing that I was even able to temporarily overcome my…

... 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.
