Window Grain

Posted on Tue, 3 July, 2018 by LensScaper

Facade

Posted on Thu, 5 April, 2018 by LensScaper

One from the archive today, that I came across as I was sorting through images for use in up-coming Camera Club talks. This is Arlington House, an eighteen-storey residential tower block built in the early 1960s in Margate, Kent. It’s … Continue reading →

Facade

Posted on Wed, 7 February, 2018 by LensScaper

Just off Oxford Street in central London down an alleyway on the way to the Photographers Gallery you will find this facade. An abstract on a grand scale. Layered reflective strips creating a fractured surrealistic impression of neighbouring properties. A … Continue reading →

Posted on Sat, 3 February, 2018 by LensScaper
