Unreal
This hyper real, hyper perfect (the stray strands of hair excepted) face the other side of the glass sells fashion. Its otherworldliness might fit better a sci-fi computer game. Photo: Bury St Edmunds 15th September 2011

Tears & Toys
Neil Sedaka ‘Laugher and Tears’ vinyl, released 1976, spends its Silver Jubilee in a charity shop – old music, obsolete technology. How much laughter and tears flowed over the cuddly toys languishing without the hope of a Toy Story rescue? … Continue reading

Atavistic
What is one to think about foxes? Wilde had a culinary view of them: “The English country gentleman galloping after a fox – the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.” For hen-keepers they are more than inedible, they are murderous … Continue reading

Accident
I stopped to photograph the blue rope with its makeshift prayer flags and saw the fox. No connection – an odd juxtaposition. Photo: Granhams Road, Cambridge 22nd September 2011
Right Foot
A silent figure in the chiropodist’s world of advertising reduced to a minimum. Photo: Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, 15th September

Crazy
In the Abbey Gardens, Bury St Edmunds, temporary crazy golf holes on the edge of the sacred bowing geen wait for putters that never come. Photo: Bury St Edmunds 15th September 2011

Pigeon untouched, undisturbed by a footpath. Cause of death? Photo: St Ives, 2nd September 2011

Grant
Decaying shrine by a footpath overlooking a lake. “Grant, Forever in My Heart, Fell Asleep, 2nd April 2003”. Grant, human or dog, man or child? Now forgotten? Photo: St Ives, Cambs, 2nd September 2011

Wedding Bliss
Outside RIBA Davina poses for wedding photographs by a retro car. The Falun Gong protest stand is handy for the champagne glasses. Across the road, out of sight, a red flag flies outside the Chinese Embassy. Photo: Portland Place, 7th … Continue reading

Patriotic rubbish, perhaps. Photo: Broadway, London 8th September 2011

Waiting
They might be waiting for an event, a passing Royal or a gawpable celebrity. No. Just waiting for the green man to appear. Photo: Victoria Street, London 7th September 2011

Disembodied
Reflections transform an ordinary bus journey into a strange disembodied movement in time and space. A sideways glance from both subject and photographer. Photo: Bloomsbury Street, London, 1st September 2011
