Thames
Argent Street, Grays, Essex, looking south east across the Thames, 5.00 pm, Monday 28th May. A storm darkens the sky, thunder grumbles and lightening crackles through the clouds. Foraging starlings squawk and squabble on the green brown scabs of low … Continue reading

UNISON
I’ve walked past this sign outside the UNISON office on Euston Road many times, but never succeeded in making a successfull photograph out of it. On Friday morning the early sun and the dappling effect of trees coming into leaf … Continue reading

PG London
Watching the world go by from the cafe at the new Photographers’ Gallery. Great coffee and pain au raisin. Photograps aren’t bad either! Burtynsky: Oil – visually stunning, emotionally depressing. Excellent start to a new era for the PG. Photo: … Continue reading

In 1935 the K6 telephone kiosk (kiosk number six) was designed to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V, so after 77 years it hardly constitutes urban ephemera in itself. However, the pink livery is ephemeral. And maybe their … Continue reading

Steps
In-line footsteps suggest a model’s training. What does the choice of tights suggest? The revealing yet unrevealing rear view. Photo: Green Street, Cambridge, May 2012

Ducks
Houseboat owners on the River Cam have a curious sense of humour. Instead of spending their time collecting plastic ducks they might give their boats a coat of paint and a polish. Photo: Riverside, Cambridge, April 2012
