Covent Garden Candids
I used to do a lot of wandering around, just snapping pictures of life. I'm trying to get back into the swing of it:
Study's End
The study I've used for the last 12 years or so is dismembered, ready to be turned into a bedroom when we put the flat on the market. An awful lot of words were written in here.

Das Potato
An image shot for a student magazine project, back in the early 90s. That's me on the left, oppressing the heroic potato revolutionary, and against the bleak East European vistas of… Hyde Park.
Student journalism was a lot of fun.
When Lunch Goes Bad
Anyone who knows anything about Twitter knows that it's all about what people had for their lunch. I eschew such conventional wisdom. I blog about my lunch instead, as I am defiantly old skool in social media. And this was my lunch yesterday:
Can you spot my schoolboy error?
Yes, in the absence of anyone to share lunch with in the fine QH canteen, I opted for lunch al desko, and the poor plastic fork just wasn't up to the job of holding the pork fillet in place. Note to self: just eat in the canteen anyway, and save the environment the cost of the stupid plastic containers and cutlery.
Scenes from Southwold
Had a single day off yesterday, and spent it in Suffolk, for various reasons. Here are a few captures from an afternoon by the sea:
A View From Childhood
This was the view from our back garden in Dollar, around 1987 - September or October, I'd guess. I can't claim any credit for the photo, as it was Mum's work.
I could have shared a photo of my brother in a very mid-80s Miami Vice-style outfit.
But any jury in the country would acquit him of my murder if I did so…
80s Brothers
I'm spending some time scanning my way through a big bag of negatives, and this morning I was working on a film from the early to mis-80s. This is my brother, on holiday, in very 80s mirror shades - with me very clearly reflected in them.
I'd have been pleased to have taken this shot today, let alone 25 years ago.
