What is Plan B?
The best-laid plans can go awry. It happens to all of us from time to time. You set off to go somewhere, maybe an hour’s drive away, may be further afield for a photo shoot. It may be a place you’ve been to before and you have some particular images in mind to re-shoot or […]
Taking Chances
Do chances come your way? When was the last time you had a chance to take an unusual image and you missed it? Do you recognize chance, photographically speaking? Most of us like to exist in our comfort zones in many walks of life – we are risk averse. Risk is dangerous – things can […]
What’s the Story?
It is said that the camera never lies. In fact it can tell a cruel version of the truth all too clearly – think of all those images you will have seen of politicians, celebrities or other prominent people papped at their worst: asleep inappropriately, yawning, having a bad hair day, eating a bacon sandwich […]
A Valuable Archive
I must start with an apology as it is now a few weeks since I last wrote an entry on this blog. The truth is that I have been acquiring new images at a frantic pace, and that makes the title of this post particularly relevant. Every time you go out and capture a few […]

Chalk Track Walkers
We are back on Ivinghoe Beacon in Bedfordshire today, on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. Barely a hill, but it’s the nearest thing to free-standing high ground in my area of Middle England. It’s composed of chalky ground, so … Continue reading
Shopping is Bliss
I’m not entirely sure that everyone would agree with the central tenet of this message. I know there are ladies who are partial to the occasional bout of Retail Therapy. I also know a lot of men who hate going … Continue reading
Window Cleaning
I was walking through the vast space that connects the two interior shopping malls at our local shopping centre when I spotted today’s image. This is window cleaning on a grand scale using a Cherry Picker (aerial lift platform). This … Continue reading
The Conversation
I was sitting in a light airy canteen overlooking the Thames yesterday having a snack and watching the conversations going on around me. Body language can be fascinating. There were couples slumped in chairs saying nothing, groups of women convulsed … Continue reading
At the top of the steps
Today’s image is of the pedestrian footbridge that crosses the railway line at Heyford station. We stopped here actually to take a look at the Marina on the side of the Oxford Canal that runs directly alongside the railway. The … Continue reading
Descending the Staircase_2
I don’t often re-work or edit images previously posted but on this occasion I’m making an exception. Do enlarge the image to see the full effect. Today’s image is a cropped version of the full frame image that I posted yesterday … Continue reading
Descending the Staircase
Retirement offers opportunities to do what you want when you want. It’s a freedom that is unrestricted by many of the issues that shackle us all during our working lives. One of the things we enjoy is visiting Country Houses … Continue reading
