(Empty) Street Photogrpahy
An empty street on old Bristol – by St John on the Wall Church, I pass this way each day.
Building – It’s Complicated
I originally called this photo Building. In Street Photography you are told to ‘have people in it’ and ‘simplify the image’. In this one, I’ve done neither. There are no people in it and it’s complicated.
There’s a lot going on; the concrete fluting, the windows in the background, the trees, both in reflection in the windows and on the street to the right and then there are the shadows.
It may not be Street Photography but you can’t say there’s no visual interest 🙂

All Kinds of Sign
You can walk past a sign every working day and never notice it. Normally, I’m too busy getting from A to B but with starting from scratch and trying to put myself more into photography, I’m becoming more observant. I walk slower, I look up, I look around…
I saw this sign, bearing no relation to what is currently there. It has clung on, fading as time eats at its presence. There is the cliché ‘the patina of age’ that applies here but I think the Japanese have a better one; Wabi Sabi. I read it as perfection out of imperfection and there is a great article here at Utne.com
All kinds…

Bright Yellow Flowers
Leaving work, walking to catch the train and passing Bright Yellow Flowers, by  an old, derelict church. Sometimes the brightness just grabs you.

Gateway to Nowhere
An arch, with a Far Eastern feel to it, in the centre of Warminster. It is like a Torii to nowhere. Or maybe by contemplating nowhere, we may end up somewhere. South West UK.

In the Sand
At the beach, at the Norfolk coast. Chanced upon things…
In the Sand
Heart Stone in the Sand
Steps in the Sand
Wall in the Sand
Just along from Sea Palling, there is unspoilt solitude. A beach, hidden from the flatlands by dune.

On Tap
All in all, it”s just another, tap in the wall. Sat outside, enjoying coffee ‘on tap’ at Bread Source in Upper St Giles, Norwich. I can recommend the place without reservation – loved the cinnamon bun.

Motorcycle and Balloon
Sometimes there’s a motorcycle and a balloon. The motorcycle happens to be maroon and the balloon happens to be red. The banality of it compels you to photograph it. The balloon will pop, the motorcycle will be ridden away and this scene will never exactly be seen again.
