Been attaching more Bottoms for Topshop labels to slacks, knickers, socks, tracksuit bottoms and shorts. Today is Topshop Derby. Happy Shopping Folks!

I have been working on preliminaries for a new work, which, at the back of my mind, carries the probability that it will take a considerable time to complete – possibly several hundred hours. It is a big commitment, but […]

If ever there was a day where tons of giant buckets of rain were coming from the sky then this is it. Photography days are getting less due to rainy winter light as opposed to clear days but on occasion […]

Thankfully train problems didn’t prevent me from making it in to Wimbledon completely this week and actually helped me find a cheaper (although not quite so relaxing) alternative route. So I now feel better equipped for future problems. Bring it […]
