290713 X marks the spot

Literally! The secret squirrel language of the road diggers. A fascinating collection of hieroglyphics, numbers and different colours. I'm sure if I took the trouble to search the net, there would be a dictionary of road-markings and their meanings.

280713 Another sketch

A possible start to a new set of observational pix. I quite like the idea of staking out charity shops and snapping the things people leave on the pavement outside opening hours - is it all their old junk that…

260713 Kremsa meets Warhol

I'm rather taken with the work of Gudrun Kremsa, in which she photographs cities and then removes all the brand names. I quite like the idea of doing this with products, but my first attempt (with Coca-Cola) took way too…

250713 Backburner

Heading off to rural pastures for a few weeks to deal with family stuff. I've packed the back-burner as it is in danger of collapsing under the weight of the research I haven't read and need to read.  Unlikely to…

120713 LOCK OF LOVE

Vienna seems to have been a bit late coming to the eternity padlock party (unless I've missed it), but it has just arrived with five padlocks on the Marienbrücke. Couples carve their initials into a padlock (or two padlocks intertwined)…

170613 Girls’ Hot Wheels

Finally catching up on updating the blog and website. Managed to get another for the typology of street cleaning vehicles today. There were three all parked in a row (which I also bagged) but I like this one because it's…

120613 Windy Bay

110613 Mobile Library?

I hope this isn't the latest version of the mobile library as a result of all the cutbacks! If it's someone having a clear-out, well done! It takes a jolly brave person to throw away that many books at the…

100613 Defining Chelsea

My facsimile paperback copy of Croker's book arrived today and I am none the wiser about where the boundaries of this project should lie. I started out working on the basis that it would be the entire borough, but there…

030613 Battersea by night

290513 Says it all

220513 Makeshift Bar

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…
