  • Winter Evening at Piccadilly

    Piccadilly Circus in February 2009, from the pavement by the Underground entrance. The advertising dates it more than the coats do: TDK and Sanyo across the curve, both long gone from that wall now. The lights were still separate panels then, before the single wraparound screen replaced them in 2017. Nobody in the foreground is…

  • The Milky Way over West Cork

    The Milky Way core stood almost vertical over the house. The night sky was so clear and dark I could see the brighter parts of the core and lots and lots of stars with my own eyes. This was a 20-second exposure, f/2.8, ISO 8000 using my Samyang 24mm prime.

  • A Granite Seat in Piccadilly Circus

    The screens above Piccadilly Circus run all day and almost nobody in the crowd looks up at them, apart from tourists gawking at everything. I thought I had photos of Piccadilly Circus from before they upgraded their advertising screens. A quick search for “Piccadilly” in my Immich archive found the photos I took in 2009,…

  • I should be free to feel

    Two Met officers stood right in front of me, so I had to read the placard over their shoulders. Someone had hand-lettered it in the pink, white and blue of the trans flag, packing the words in tighter as the board ran out, and the last line vanishes behind a head anyway. At Trans+ Pride…

  • Ventura Pier at Dusk

    Moments after the sun had set, and the sky was filled with a lovely orange glow.

  • No need for helmets in Athens

    The lights were green for pedestrians to cross the road, but these two lads on a bike had already gone through the junction. The driver looked back and zoomed off down a side road.

  • Fixing the fishing line

    Sometimes the fishing line gets tangled and you need to stop what you’re doing and fix it.

  • The Only One Standing

    A woman stopped right in front of me while I was taking some long exposure shots of the passing crowd.

  • Enamel Signs and Jugs

    He didn’t seem too bothered about making any sales. Enjoying the day instead.

  • LrC catalog maintenace and syncing

    Terry White has two great videos on Lightroom Classic catalogs. Here’s one on dealing with large catalogs: and on syncing your catalog with the Adobe Cloud. Syncing to the cloud is great. It creates smart previews that sync and doesn’t take up any of your valuable 20GB of space of your account. You can even…

  • Well Fed in Kraków

    Two pigeons on the cobbles with a torn piece of bread roll just behind them, both walking away from it. In most cities bread on the ground is gone in seconds. Well-fed pigeons!

  • Stall 27

    Six people stood at the counter with their backs to me, all of them looking down into the glass case of amber and silver. The wall behind the stallholder was covered with icons and painted crucifixes right up to the arch, under lights warm enough to make the gilding glow. Nobody looked up at any…
