I was so tempted to stick up a picture of a rural post box, which I have taken many poor photos of in the last couple of weeks, so I’m pleased I can put something a little less obvious up.

It’s a sign post, but it’s still a post. I’ve done quite a lot of processing to it and I don’t really like what it’s done to the sky but I did want to add noise and texture to it so I suppose it’s done that.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this one and when I told my wife Jax that I was stuck she said “why don’t you photograph me?”

She said it in jest of course but it got me thinking. She was right of course, she usually is, Jax is quality. She’s been through a lot in the last couple of weeks, more than anyone should have to, a double whammy of awful news to two people very close to her. She’s dealt with it all brilliantly and with quality and (I don’t say this often enough) I love her to bits.

A personal one this time…”Quality”

I took this on the South Bank on a grim day a couple of weeks back. It hadly seems possible now looking at the weather but it poured down all afternoon. I was looking for something that said isolation (amongst a few other themes I was catching up on). This was the first shot I took on the day but it just seems right for it…hood up, lost in his own thoughts, writing whatever it is he’s writing, isolated from everyone else around him by distance and mind.

“Isolation”

More catching up to at the moment, not because of work this time but I just couldn’t think of an interesting way to represent ‘ingredients’. I’ve given up and have gone for the obvious shot of ‘ingredients. It’s a dull shot but technically I’m pretty happy with it.

“Ingredients”

I’m sure this one needs no explanation. I suspect this particular soldier hasn’t stopped anyone in years mind. Shot under the arch going between Whitehall and Horse Guards Parade.
“Stop”
