Grey Lag Geese
I’m neither inclined nor equipped to do wildlife photography, but I am quite pleased with this quick snap of grey lag geese at Landbeach. And it’s a reminder of a sun-blest walk on the last day of August. Photo: Grey … Continue reading

Abstract Mannequin
With mannequins, sometimes simplicity sells. Independent shops, markets and stalls distance themselves from the high street with minimalist, abstract, conceptual figures. Outlines, wire frames, straw bundles, glorified coat hangers become signs of alternative lifestyles and aspirations. Sometimes the minimalist figure … Continue reading

Cheltenham Signs
Is this urban ephemera? The signs are from a past age, mostly for products that no longer exist and hence ephemeral. Yet, unlike modern advertising they are made to last, and have, and hence are durable, if not quite eternal. … Continue reading

Beechwoods – Traces
Entering the Beechwoods is to enter a realm of traces, traces in the land, traces on the trees, traces of human hands, traces of the hand of nature. Traces of the past, traces of the present. It is in its … Continue reading

Mannequins Caged
Surplus mannequins are crowded and caged out of the way in an ugly building; echoes of inhuman treatment to real people. All are white, except for one silver figure. Do mannequins here reflect racial stereotyping? Of 244 figures in Cambridge … Continue reading
