  • More Mirror Box Photos

    Somewhat inspired by the awesome Infinity Mirrored Room created by Yayoi Kusama especially for her wonderful retrospective exhibition that’s just opened at Tate Modern, I went out and bought a cheap “sound sensor” light at Maplin. And I used this to have another session using my mirror box. A few more photos are below. I’d…

  • New York 1986

    I’ve been scanning in some old prints of my first visit to New York. A selection are viewable on Flickr. Not perhaps the greatest set of photos ever, and in retrospect it’d have been better if a 16 year old me had taken some photos that actually included a few New Yorkers in the photos.…

  • Mirror Box

    These photos were made by placing a camera on self-timer in a “mirror box” built with mirrored tiles. All based on a very smart idea I saw on Photojojo and detailed at Digital Composting. The box that I built was built precisely to those specifications. I used 12″ square tiles I bought from Mirrorworld who…

  • Photo

    As much as anything, this photo is purely to test out an upgrade of my blogging software. So move along. Nothing much to see here.

  • Photos in London

    The Photographer’s Gallery might still be closed, but there are loads of excellent exhibitions of photos in London at the moment, and I’m struggling to keep up! At the National Portrait Gallery they’ve just opened the annual Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition. It’s only a couple of quid to get in, and it’s well worth…

    I had to pick up a V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask in Forbidden Planet earlier today…

  • Photowrap

    The London Street Photography Festival will shortly be coming to an end, and I’ve enjoyed having a look at the work of some of the photographers exhibiting. In particular, I can heartily recommend the Vivian Maier exhibition at the German Gymnasium between King’s Cross and St Pancras Stations. Try to get to see it this…

  • Elbow at St Paul’s Cathedral

    Last night Elbow played an exclusive set for Absolute Radio in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral – the first time that a rock band has ever performed there. It looked and sounded stunning. Watch an interview here and listen to the set on-air on 5 June. Looking down through the grate in the main…

  • Rain

    It was very wet today.

  • ISS

    The International Space Station (ISS) is very visible at the moment, appearing as an often very bright, yet very fast-moving star. Taking advantage of a location that has much less light pollution than home, I took the above long exposure photo this evening showing the transit of the ISS across the sky, passing through Leo.…
