Broken sky

2014-07-16T15:29:00.002+02:00

These stain-glass looking images are by Bing Wright (from his aptly named series Broken Mirror/Evening Sky) and I find them simply stunning!

Magic Balcony

2013-03-20T18:38:00.001+01:00

The trail of the dizzying car ride to get to this spot in Greece (Magic Balcony in Pileon) seems to be emulated in the intricately beautiful patterns of the rocks and trees... or maybe it's the other way round?

One Hot Summer Night

2012-07-18T02:00:00.001+02:00

It was Wimbledon, what can I say?

A summer like no other

2012-06-16T18:12:00.000+02:00

The enthusiasm was overwhelming...

Pointing fingers

2012-04-22T15:45:00.002+02:00

Feeling shy?

2012-03-15T15:30:00.001+01:00

I was truly blown away by the V&A museum and, after wandering around for hours, stumbled upon this scene...

Hot mess

2012-02-29T18:24:00.002+01:00

This was a shoot I took part in recently and must admit it was pretty fun to muck about in a recording studio. Commercial shots were the order of the day, but this is one of my favourites: grainy and muddy and contrasty. A mess basically. But a hot mess...

Tic tac toe

2012-02-16T15:47:00.000+01:00

Yes, I might be getting carried away with piecing photos together but I've been finding it rather therapeutic lately. And yes, the panes of glass don't match up exactly (which should really get to me due to my OCD...) but I prefer the imperfection. It reminds you that a human put the pieces together...

Floor to ceiling

Panorama-rama...

Step into my office

2012-01-23T01:06:00.001+01:00

Living in Vauxhall means coming across building site after building site, including this abandoned one still welcoming visitors into a non-existent office...

(And by the by, the light along the Thames is always so piercing! Not sure how or why, but it was on form today!)

Penchant for pelicans

2012-01-21T21:46:00.001+01:00

...and coyotes! I recently visited the Natural History Museum to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition and was blown away by the photographs! This image shot by Martin Cooper was my absolute favourite and I ended up taking it home with me (a copy that is...)

Some more favourites:

Up up and away

2012-01-20T15:25:00.003+01:00

An old obsession revisited: panoramas! But the whole left to right or right to left thing bores me, so I went up, up and around instead...

Peek a boo

2012-01-18T18:49:00.000+01:00

I'm such a sucker for Ugly Ducklings so when I saw this one peeking out from under the covers I couldn't resist a snap...

Charge!

New year, new chances?

2012-01-05T13:24:00.001+01:00

OK, a slightly somber way to start the year... but you can look at these photo's in one of two ways:

A genuine go at making a port a bit more merry, or an empty attempt to lift the city's spirits?

It's merely a shred of paper, but which do you see first? The bright spot or the dark depths?

Is the statue watching over the city defensively, or ignorantly looking into the distance at the fiery sunset?

I'll be making a concerted effort to see more bright spots this year...

On the move

2011-10-16T00:49:00.007+02:00

It all went a bit quiet on the posting front lately as I just moved! To London! I went walk-about in my new hood and these are the offerings...

'Absolut Vauxhall' ^

Me? I think it's great! ^

Did a lot of this today ^

True to the statistic... Big Brother is ALWAYS watching you. ^

Blinding sunshine! In London! Who'da thought? ^

50 cc Roman chariots...

Transformers? Nope... bus station

More to come...

All at sea

2011-09-27T12:20:00.001+02:00

A stormy sea is always impressive, but the dead calm just relaxes every single muscle in your body... Looking at this, I'm transported directly to that spot on the beach and my envious feelings towards whoever's on that sailing boat!

Things that go bump in the night

Now this is camping...

Good ol' Joel

2011-09-23T19:00:00.001+02:00

I've never been to Cape Cod, but all the images taken there are so very familiar somehow. Maybe that's why I see things in these photographs that some might not...

Joel Meyerowitz's photos are a real paradox to me sometimes. This might confuse people, but I'm simply saying that there are so many different readings in his images. Lonely yet uplifting, promising and doubtful, sombre but comforting.

Well, I love 'em...

(Ascending order: 'Dune grass house,' 'Doorway to the sea,'Provincetown' and all from Cape Light by Joel Meyerowitz)

Down the rabbit hole

2011-09-21T16:27:00.005+02:00

I admit this shot was quite sloppily taken, but I like the muddy feel of it. And I definitely didn't notice the halo when I took this. A rather spooky shot...

Back to fall

2011-09-19T11:14:00.000+02:00

With the onset of fall, you can almost feel nature bracing itself for winter. The light is fantastic, the sun creates so much contrast against the darkening skies! This is definitey one of my favourite times of the year...

'No hay poets'

2011-09-18T16:32:00.000+02:00

What rebellious sheep... Maybe they'll bleat some Keats?

Featured art installation by San Vermaas, 'No hay poets' (meaning 'No poets' in Spanish)

Oui?

The urban deer, right at home in the heart of Paris...
