The day finally dawned and off we went. We had the most amazing time and I can't decide my favourite pic from today. I've chosen this one for my blog as it is probably the one that best sums up…

And the stock shot for when I'm busy and on the road - the Costa on the dashboard shot, but today's is slightly different in that there are snow clouds looming on the horizon. Following Wilcey's advice, I have downloaded…

Another reflection of Chelsea - a bit smoke and mirrorish (without the smoke, though). Well, there are only three days to go, but I've been doing normal stuff today and don't think I've done anything particularly 1853 ish apart from…

A flurry of snow today - an unusual occurrence here and one that no-one took any notice off. We still continue to cycle, dog-walk and smoke outside. My excitement for the day was a trip to "Snow and Rock' for…

Six days to go and most of the day has been sorting out things for the big day (this is taking on the proportions of a society wedding). I fear that I am going to resemble a Victorian Michelin man…

With only a week to go, I need to get some new Moo mini-cards. In keeping with the London theme, I've chosen a selection of my pix that depict things Londonesque. I chose this sign today for two reasons: (i) …

I'm now working my way through the lens collection to decide the best lens for the big shoot. I do not want to carry a bag full of camera kit with me, so I am determined to do the 24…

It's only nine days to go until the 24 hour shoot. We shall only have about 8 hours of daylight and it doesn't require a PhD in mathematics to work out that this means 16 hours of darkness, less a…

Over at Greenwich today helping to put the finishing touches on The Cave, well, I say "helping", I think standing around watching the boys measure shelving space etc. is a better description. Anyway on our way down Royal Hill, I…

Oh where were the holly and the ivy when I was doing the Advent Calendar? In Chelsea homes, I think is the answer. Anyway, with twelfth night come and gone, the holly is now unceremoniously dumped in a Waitrose bag…

I was going with something else for today, but London 1853 (our 24 hour shoot in London on the 19th and 20th January) is taking off and I'm so excited about it, that I really can't think of anything else…

Whilst I've been away, a new Japanese restaurant has opened around the corner. I was admiring the plants outside and was trying to work out if they were real. Indeed they are, but their interestingness has less to do with…

Having just discovered the book "Dark Lens" by Cedric Delsaux, I've become something of a fan, so this is my homage to him. As I don't have a hotline to George Lucas, and so don't have the rights to…

This may look like a very ordinary graffiti tag (although the passing by of the policewoman was somewhat fortuitous) - and indeed it is. However, this might be used as part of a larger project, the inspiration from which came…

On account of the rather stormy weather, there was no better way to spend the evening than with friends in a Heuriger!

On reflection, this doesn't bear any relation to the graveyard scene from The Third Man - wrong avenue, wrong character facing the wrong way, but I did get the hat! The Viennese take death very seriously and the day was…

Always good to start the New Year with a trip to the Rathausplatz to watch the New Year's Day concert on the big screen. The cold air blows away the cobwebs from the night before, whilst the hot punch and…

Where has the year gone? It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were doing all this to see in 2012. Definitely a day for being a flaneur and seeing all the preparations for the big Silvester party tonight!
