A long weekend

A week ago was the last May bank holiday weekend and we had a busy time in London. On Saturday we went for a bit of a walk and visited the Tate Modern which was in the midst of a long weekend festival. We happened to time our arrival with a piece of performance art […]

Art on the Southbank & Kate Walsh

We had an arty evening yesterday. I finished work around 4pm and met Keryn outside Embankment station. Having found each other we made our way to the Southbank and found the entrance for the Hayward Gallery. For the next few months the Hayward is displaying work commissioned from Antony Gormley, the man who created the […]

They rang last week

And the photo looks better in the paper. Ben called me and asked me a few questions which resulted in this article which appeared in the Brentwood Gazette this week: Eye for a Photo, The Brentwood Gazette. Just in case anyone thinks I’m obsessing it’s more that we haven’t really done a lot recently so […]

Quotes

Another day another page with details of my winning. Interesting to see a quote from myself on this page, interesting as I never said it. I was contacted by a person from the Brentwood post yesterday so I guess there will be something in an upcoming paper. Here is a link to to the DPNow […]

The news part one

Still no update on the official pages but here is the win reported on a photography magazine website: Amateur Photography Magazine

Well, I won didn’t I

Good news! I won the London Eye photo competition! For my efforts I received a Fujifilm digital camera, a big magnum of champagne and a years family pass to Tussauds Group venues. Reading up on some other sites (like the Lets Go Digital site here) it appears that my photo will go on permanent display […]

Weekend visits

Over the last couple of weekends we’ve been out and about rather more than in recent months. It’s no co-incidence that this has corresponded with a marked change in the weather with mostly warm days over the Easter weekend and very warm days the weekend just gone. On Easter Saturday we went out and visited […]

The Eye

The people who own the London Eye are hosting a photography competition linked to the forthcoming 25 millionth visitor milestone. People have to upload photos that involve the Eye and winners will be chosen to receive prizes (unspecified on the website, identified as cameras and other items on other sites). I already have some nice […]

Chaos and so on

The tabloids and to a lesser extent the evening papers seem to have a limited vocabulary when it comes to advertising the news. I’m sure the Evening Standard for instance has a quota they must meet every week regarding the use of the word Chaos. Apparently there was to be travel chaos tonight because of […]

Walking on the weekend

After meeting Terry Gilliam I wandered the streets of London taking photos (lens now set back to auto-focus). The results of this afternoon walk can be seen in the gallery: click here to see London one winters evening in February. Entertainment in Covent Garden

Guy Fawkes

It’s November 4th and that apparently means it’s time for fireworks. I always thought that the 5th was Guy Fawkes, I guess the fact that the 5th is a Sunday makes it unpalatable to the working masses so the sky lights up a day early. I worked today and afterwards made my way to Camden […]
