030213 My symmetrical office

Sometimes the light is so flat, so deadly and so dull that the day's bag looks thoroughly depressing. My office is much more cheerful and so I decided a snap of that was preferable to another grey flat offering.

020213 Fruit and Veg

Another contribution to my time-capsule. The vegetable shop. The small specialist shops are disappearing as the supermarkets increase their product range. Hands up those who remember Fine Fare - something of an oxymoron with hindsight, but those were the days…

290113 After the Party

What a great night!  We had the London re-launch party tonight and there was a great buzz, some great images and a thoroughly good time was had by all.  I was rather busy socialising, so my photo bag for the…

18.00 to 19.00

Still one of my favourites from the marathon, simply because I do love London.  As we found out, some 21 hours later, the capital is alive morning, noon and night.  What makes it tick will be gradually revealed over the…

270113 Orange Lily – Not

Unusual for me to take a flower pic, but I just haven't had time to wander today.  A few days ago, I passed a flower seller who had the most glorious orange lilies.  He suggested (quite rightly) buying some that…

17.00 to 18.00

Because it's winter and because the sky was so heavy with snow, it got dark very quickly - well not really dark, but a sort of horrible mustard greyish colour. Anyway, it felt a lot later than it was and…

260113 Abandoned

Someone will have cold ears by the time they get home tonight. This is the second hat I've found on railings in two days. I like the way people carefully place lost objects on railings and it's good to know…

250113 Neeps …

...to go with the tatties to go with the Haggis, for tonight we are having a Burns supper. The language barrier between north and south causes some confusion as the vegetable we call "swede" is known as a "turnip" in…

230113 Quod erat demonstrandum

... or 'which was the thing to be proved'. I'm a big fan of sparkles produced by long exposures and I used to be quite good at them. But over the past year, I've been getting some disappointing results. At…

220113 Do The Strand

I found myself on the Strand this afternoon - oh how different it looked in the wee small hours of Sunday.  Part of our plan was to shoot the Monopoly board, but I failed rather miserably.  I shall therefore be…

16.00 to 17.00

And they're off ... about 50 togs hit Trafalgar Square at 16.00 before heading down Northumberland Avenue, acrosss Hungerford Bridge and around Southbank.  I don't have many images for the first hour.  First, I had to nip home to dump…

The starting gate

The tension is building as the 24 hour shoot is about to get underway. 1853 costume was an optional extra, and, disappointingly, not an option that many chose. However, Izzi (niece and youngest participant in the Shoot) entered into the…

The Carriage Awaits

Well here I am all dressed up in my Victorian finery and ready to leave for the Shoot.  MisterMac has gone to the pictures and so I have to take my own pic.  I could have used the tripod and…

200113 Happy Birthday!

We did it!  Well done to the other eight who completed the 24 hour marathon!  It was exhilerating, exciting and completely exhausting but what terrific fun.  I'm definitely on for another one - although not next weekend.  The highlights were…
