My first magazine cover published
13 12 2010I was given an early Christmas present last week, when the editorial team of Vine Kensington and Chelsea magazine chose to feature one of my photographs as their December cover.
The digital edition of the magazine is now available online.
The image chosen was my photograph of the snow-dusted statue of William of Orange within the grounds of Kensington Palace.

Banksy work in Soho removed
4 04 2009Last August (was it that long ago?) I wrote a post about a couple of Banksy’s works in Central London, the main one being the huge ‘One Nation Under CCTV’ mural that appeared overnight in Soho (just off Oxford St).
Well, for some time Westminster Council has been threatening to remove the mural by painting over it, classifying it as graffiti reather than as street art. And I noticed this week that they’ve actually gone ahead and done just that (at the same time as the G20 protests … hmm, coincidence that something else was the main focus of the media and the vocal minority?)
So now all that’s left is photos of the very timely work. I’m just glad I took my photos when I did.

Snow in London – part 2
2 02 2009To follow on from my previous post (Snow in London), here are some of the photos that I took today while ‘playing tourist’ in London. Well, I thought I may as well, since it seems that when more than a dusting of snow falls in the south-east of the UK and almost all public transport grinds to a standstill.
And we’ve not seen the last of it either – as I type / compose this post, I’m watching ever more big, fat snowflakes add themselves to the city’s new winter blanket.

Snow in London
2 02 2009London’s currently enjoying a ‘Russian period’, and we’re enjoying (well, some of us are) the results of a little bit of hijacked Russian winter weather. So just when I thought I’d probably seen the last of ‘my’ snow of the winter, a whole lot has come to visit me 
These photos are from last night, Sunday 1 February.
