The picture that best sums up today is a composite of images taken on my phone whilst sitting in a traffic jam. So much for any great plans for the day - 5 hours to drive 100 miles. This severely…

And some days the practical has to give way to the theoretical. I'm currently doing some research on stuff, objects and rubbish. So today's pic is a few of the books I've been looking at today. Daniel Miller's Stuff is a…

I've always had a bee in my bonnet about these "No Smoking " signs (whatever happened to "Thank you for not smoking"?) and today's pic exemplifies the bee. This telephone box has now become a surrogate litter bin, half the…

A fun afternoon shooting with Leanne, adding a few more pix to the hyper-reality collection. We stopped at our usual canteen for a spot of lunch and noticed the new table design - mirror tiles. Lunch was a most pleasant…

I love pinhole photography and thanks to Mike CG, I am the proud owner of a Holga pinhole lens that fits Nikon! What fun! Thanks Mike! I've been working on a project called "Pinhole London" (see some examples in project…

I never cease to be amazed by what is abandoned on the street and my imagination goes into overdrive asking questions about how things get left behind. I have visions of some poor child having to hop home because they've…

Carol Allen Storey gave a few DVJ members a guided tour of her solo show "Fractured Lives". It is an amazing exhibition - not only are the images stunning, but the stories that accompany them (taken from Carol's journal) are…

Autumn leaves on a park bench in Brighton. The wind and wuthering meant that there were not too many people abroad! Despite the cold, there were some good rainy, shiny photo opps.

Grabbing a coffee after the Inaugural Conference of the International Association of Visual Urbanists (some great ideas from it BTW). I shall be penning something on the subject of Visual Urbanism soon, as it completely reflects my attitudes towards photography. …

The DVJ had an urban workshop with Ida Pap today. We were learning how to think like artists. As she said, "Are photographers little more than lazy painters?" Hmmm, maybe we are. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was fun…

So this is day 1 of the new blog and the new website after a few false starts! I had the luxury of being able to flaneur around Chelsea for a couple of hours this afternoon, snapping all sorts of…

Well, this is me and my blog. I've been taking a photo-a-day since I had my camera, so it seems sensible, what with the new website an' all, to put the blog on here. Sometimes, I have time to go…
