Some nice doors

The Joy of Bus Stops

They are yellow and they are beautiful.

Lily

Skye

Eva's got it going on.

My daughter. Beautiful and funny. And not yet 10.

Dogs in the park

Kind of an Elliot Erwitt moment.

Imagine

They played 'Imagine' on the cathedral bells on Saturday. Odd feeling listening to it and trying to figure out what it meant. I have long thought it one of his worst songs, but it clearly means a lot to many people. It was a nice moment, like a little, forlorn cry for sanity in a mad world.

Ineluctable modality of the perpendicular.

Alan's Leaving Do

More hilarity here and here. Although some of the images are in questionable taste.

FACT

Museum

St Johns Market

I was in here the other day and felt a strange sadness, knowing it is going, in spite of the fact that it is and has always been a shit place. I shall miss 'Coffees of the World' anyway.

Margie

Organising the karaoke at Margie's 70th birthday party.

Mousetraps

These are in the window of the hardware shop on Lark Lane.

Real fans in town

Loads of them. There was a great atmosphere in the city. I suspect these two may be directly descended from the Don and his faithful servant.

New lens

You can do stuff like this with it.

Reading

Da Boyz again

Just finished working on this play, and thoroughly enjoyed it although it was a grind at times. I am a bit too old for that theatre lark. But the show was an excellent polemic on the effects of violence on families and the community. More pictures here. A lot of rehearsal shots - I was too busy during the shows.

End of an era

This was on the cards since well before the credit crunch but it is still strangely sad to see Jeff gone - he might have been a grumpy sod but he did some lovely prints.
