Hush, Quietly Now

Shhhh, is there an artist here?

Look carefully…
A red filter might have helped here with legibility. I’d like to say I don’t make a habit of photographing brick walls but that just wouldn’t be true. These days I’m a (little) more discerning though, there is usually a reason. Like the gateway to the fourth dimension.
I’ve been...

Box Of delights

I went back and re-photographed what had been so cruelly destroyed by light the day before. Is that sad? But I’m so glad I did.
The eponymous box of delights is in fact a suitcase and I wanted to snap it before it got kicked around even more or even disappeared.

Like I speculate on what my...

Underneath the Arches

If you go down to the river today, you are sure for a big surprise…

Definitely had to meter for the shadows otherwise it would be a silhouette. The ‘corpse’ was being pushed about by the wind too hence its lack of sharpness (f/11 at 1/4 second). Works for me though.

Embedded trolleys, wheelbarrows and other crap...

Bread & Batteries & Harold

High contrast, orange filter on the Rollei, kind of harsh. Looks like fish skin to the right of the bread tin. Biblical. When I was a kid we had one of these bread bins. Made of metal to keep the mice out. Ours...

Low Tide – Mud, Knives, Guns & Chains

Wow, most of the Thames disappeared today!

This mooring buoy looks so wrong beached, usually it is floating. Out of context.

I didn’t realise how massive they are

Underfoot was a bit treacherous and I recall stories of people sinking in the mud, especially a couple of girls rescued when they were up to their necks. Gothic stuff....

Tracks And Lines

A return to the Thames Path, South and (gasp) North of the river. This time with a slightly less old Rolleiflex (36 years old).
I was all ready with the I’m a photographer not a terrorist spiel but I’m guessing I shouldn’t have been on the line and so close to the train. Some sort of...

Catford Stadium

Just one photo

The stadium would have been 5 years old already before the camera that took this photo was made, but this photo was snapped five years (+) after the stadium closed. Does that make sense?
Also this image is reversed… ho hum
Stadium 1932-2003 RIP, Rolleiflex 1937 and still going strong…
I might start collecting numbers
