Hoisted
A figure gets an undignified shoulder lift. A trial to see how the dress will look when the bride in hoisted over the threshold, perhaps. Photo: Stourport Manor Hotel, January 2012

Yule Cottages, The Beeches, Whittlesford: The small scale scheme of three dwellings is funded by the will from local resident Betty Yule. It follows on from a public meeting in Whittlesford in summer last year to consider how to break … Continue reading

Cafe P
There’s a long tradition of taking photographs of lettering and signs – Walker Evans is one of my favourite exponents of the art, he also collected signs themselves. What is the fascination with these static, everyday presences? Maybe just their … Continue reading

Flatiron Building, 1902, architect Daniel Burnham. The one building I most wanted to see on my two-day trip to New York. It didn’t disappoint, though my photograph does. All the classic shots show a slightly more oblique view from the … Continue reading
