Tuition fees demonstration

Some images from the demonstrations in London yesterday.

Ghost village

Two images taken several months back during a visit to the Dorset village of Tyneham, deserted since the MOD requisitioned it during World War Two. The black and white image was shot on a Holga GFN whereas the colour was taken with Hipstamatic's Float 'film'.

Recent portrait

Dan Knowler, musician and founder of Actual Size, December 2010.

Randoms from last week

Robert Graves

Robert Graves was one of the first poets that I ever studied and I'm just about to start rereading 'Goodbye to All That' as part of the research for my current work in progress: Soldbuch.

I recently found this random little Q&A - reprinted from a May 1970 edition The Listener - and especially liked the part about "writing a poem [being] rather like finding the top of a statue buried in sand..."

Leaves

Rihanna and Richard Mosse

I couldn't help noticing more than a passing resemblance between Rihanna's 'Only Girl (In The World)' video and Richard Mosse's 'Infra'. The latter was shot in Eastern Congo on Kodak Aerochrome infrared film.

November

Two images taken through windows in London this morning and one from the park yesterday afternoon.

Newcastle

Yesterday, on the back of a nearby PR job, I spent the afternoon in Newcastle and took these on my 5D2 and iPhone/Hipstamatic. I didn't get quite as excited as this chap, however!
