Church: Please keep to path…
I took this especially for a couple of close friends – they know who they are ;o)
Headstone – Micah 6:8
This picture was taken during a trip to Claydon House in Buckinghamshire. I don’t have any particular thoughts about a headstone for when I depart this world, and don’t usually have any interest in other peoples, but this simple example really struck me. Those who aren’t familiar with the verse and can’t quite follow it, see below… “what doth the…
Photo Friday: Cold
This is my Photo Friday submission for ‘cold’. Taken at Waddesdon Manor on a recent visit – it was a chilly day with a bitter wind – hence the silly hat.
Afternoon in Tattenhoe
I’m just playing with the new ‘gallery’ function in WordPress, but here are a selection of photos taken during a brief stroll around Tattenhoe. A more complete set is available on Flickr, which is where I post all my photos.
Mind The Gap
It was only a matter of time before the Health & Safety brigade intervened at the Tate Modern. Although I’ve not seen it myself, I’ve been fascinated by Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth at the Tate Modern.

Sometimes they make up stories on their own.Montana State University film student Kevin…
Second Photograph Published
I’ve had another photograph selected for publication. Not quite as impressive as the previous example, but I’m happy with it nonetheless.I received message in my Flickr inbox at the start of the year informing me that one of my photos had been shortlisted for inclusion in the fourth edition of the Schmap London Guide, and asking me to confirm that…
Photograph Published
About 6 months ago I received a comment on one of my photos on Flickr asking for permission to include it in an academic textbook by the Bentley Institute Press entitled “Architectural Geometry“. The picture (see below) is of one of the spiral staircases at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire. I agreed to its use and should shortly be receiving my…
Questionable Ethics
This is a poster I created in 2005 to “encourage” some of our young people to get involved in the planning discussion for our Christmas Event.Just as well I’m doing an ethics module next term.
