Another photo
February 19, 2010Photo
February 19, 2010I’ve had a few old photos appear this week, but this is by far my favourite, and not only because these are still two very dear friends. We are so cool! That never happened in real life!
Nice juxtaposition
September 2, 2009Flicking through my photos of our Norwegian cruise, I just spotted this portmanteau mountain made up from the shots either side of the one I was on:

July 7, 2009A publisher of tour guides has written to me to ask whether they can use one of my Paris photos in the next edition of their guide. I said yes, of course, but I do hope they straighten it up a little before they publish it:
It’s a little wonky, non?
Cannes at dusk
September 29, 2008I don’t know why it is, but those crappy disposable cameras keep coming up trumps with photos of beaches. After the shot of Margate that looked like an Edward Hopper painting, I now have this lovely photo of the beach at Cannes, which looks exactly like the sort of “mood” poster one might have found in Athena in the 1980s. I especially like the palm tree and the mountains in the background, which look like they were added on in Photoshop.
Full set is here.
Margate
June 1, 2008I took this photo last weekend. I liked the composition at the time, but I like it even more now it’s developed – it was taken with a crappy disposable camera, which seems to have given it a slightly grainy, almost chalky finish. As someone else pointed out, if Edward Hopper had been in the habit of visiting the English seaside, he might have painted something that looked a bit like this.
You can see the rest of the photos here.
