After making a few traditional photographs using the binocular thingy as my subject, I made this moody photograph. I don’t know whether it was intentional or not (this was two years ago); but I’ll claim it was…

Now that it’s official — I have the offer letter in my hot little hands — I feel comfortable spilling the beans. As many of you know, I left IBG at the end of February. It was no secret that Anna and I despised living in Jersey City. And although I knew I’d miss many … A New Job

Another photograph of the Broadway Tower. When we first visited the tower the sky was full of leaden clouds and threatening rain (surprise!). But I recognised this as a great framing for the tower; and when we returned with the skies more favourable, I jumped at the opportunity to make this photograph (and about a … Broadway Tower

The law states that every visitor to London must have his (or her) photograph taken either with one of the guards at the Palace or in front of the monument. We opted for the monument one, because we didn’t feel like posing with some guy with a bearskin covered waste paper basket on his head… … Holiday Snap

I was listening to Market Place on my way home this afternoon and the announcer made an interesting statement: Since the beginning of the “recovery”, more people have found jobs working in collections agencies than have found jobs working for all the manufacturing companies combined.

Although I applied the full power of my awesome detective skills to the problem, I was unable to determine the significance of this head in the wall. I spoke with a guy in a pub and he had no idea what it was all about. Hadn’t even heard of it. Imagine… But this photograph does … Complete Mystery

I suppose Anna had to get a little of her own back. After I’d made a few photographs including her, she hijacked the camera. This photograph really gives you a good feel for the paths. And yes, it really is that green.

At the boundary of every field in the Cotswolds you’ll find a gate or several gates. But you don’t always leave a field via a gate. Some times you climb over a stile — a sort of minimalist set of steps allowing you to climb over the fence. Anna models one of the more familiar … I’ll Meet You at the Gate

Not much can be said about these guys. Any time there’s a village fete or any other sort of festival, the Morris Dancers come out. Everyone gets a good chuckle. These guys were performing the morning of the Bank Holiday (31 May). The rest of the time they probably lead normal, respectable lives.
