If I look out of my kitchen window in the winter, I can see a funny little tower way off at the edge of the horizon (I can't see it in the summer because of that tree in front the window). It's the only remaining piece of what was once a significant market space, opened [...]

Last Saturday I spent the day at the seaside in Margate with the Shabby Seaside Appreciation Society. The day didn't start off at its best — our excitement at getting one of the new fast-track Javelin trains at St. Pancras soon dwindled when we found ourselves an hour behind schedule due to "a death on [...]

One of the most frustrating things about my hard drive failing last year was that I lost all of the work I'd been doing in BookSmart, the software used to make books on Blurb. Well, yesterday I took advantage of the crappy weather to get started on a new one. I didn't expect to finish [...]

Photos from the second big tour of north America, late 2000-early 2001.

Tracks on the Chicago El. Even back then I was struck by the colours and shapes of urban abstracts.

Chicago skyscraper. The bottom half was a church, the tower housed offices.

I think maybe only a handful will [...]

My Flickr Pro account expires in four days. I have been making intermittent attempts to pay for the upgrade all bloody day and the payments section site is refusing to work for me, just as it was doing a few days ago.
I have had this problem with upgrading my Flickr account every. single. year. [...]
