We spend much of our lives waiting. Waiting for buses, trains, the light to change, for something to happen like the lights going out on the grid of an F1 race and waiting for the end of whatever it is we have been waiting for. I certainly spend more time than I ought to waiting […]
I know my eyes were weary yesterday after a Thursday starting at 05:30 in St Ives and finishing at 05:30 in Ipswich on Friday but what poor stitching in that 10 minutes after sunrise image! I noticed it only when I zoomed to full screen much later on. I had half expected some issues especially […]
Just about 5 years ago next week I walked, if not bounced, through the doors of University Campus Suffolk to start the degree course I ought to have started in 1973. I have spoken about this before and the fact that I could not have produced the degree project I made in 2014 in 1976 […]
I might have been taken to a dodgy link at the weekend that reported a fire at the old Wardle Storeys building at Cattawade. I was otherwise busy with a make and mend phase on the back of our house, so much so I was painting windows at 0600 Sunday morning. After finishing off a […]
Last Sunday, I spent the whole day on the roof of the UOS James Hehir Building with two other photographers making a record of changes to the Ipswich Wet Dock scene a year on from our last excursion up there. Mrs.O had said she would walk down at some point to see what was occurring […]
It dawned on me today as I tramped around the Wet Dock making reference images in advance of a weekend of waterfront festivities that yet another subtle change had taken place during a week that had seen me working at a different university. Of course I knew it was coming, but it was not the […]
As is often my want when out on the bike first thing on a dry morning (I don’t do wet), I change my route on a whim. This morning I decided to check out the entrance to the British Sugar site at Sproughton, a happy hunting ground for Edgelands images. I chanced upon this new […]
Bumping into Kate Jackson on Friday night made me realise I had been neglecting my ongoing Edgelands work. The Spring and Summer has been far too wet and windy for the Large Format gear so I extended my parameters and began shooting some images digitally. Regular readers will know that if it is dry in […]
Walking to work this morning I took a circuitous route and followed my nose. The smell was intoxicating to say the least and then I found it, nestling amongst the privations of city life – an old NHS ambulance dispensing medicines of a porcine and ovine kind. Is this what the Tories mean by privatising […]
Over the years that I was at University, I would make regular excursions to the Brick Lane area to marvel at the constantly changing murals on the side walls of this ethnically diverse part of London. I always marvel at how the street scene changes with the hour of the day here. This shot […]
