    View from the other side

    Greenwich features a lot in my offerings. It's nearby and photogenic. This it it again but seen from the other side of the Thames after I'd walked through the foot tunnel to The Isle of Dogs. Cutty Sark on the left, entrance to foot tunnel on the right. Minolta XD7 / Minolta 35-70 f3.5 /...

    I should perhaps explain that Reception Class in the UK is roughly the equivalent Kindergarten elsewhere. Minolta XD7 / Rokkor 45mm f2 / HP4+ / Rodinal 1:50

    Sound and vision

    The Eye of Sauron! Now why didn't I think of that? There's even two towers! Still I was close when I thought that the eye might be an in plain view disguise for a surveillance or facial recognition camara.

    The decline of English seaside traditions

    Not many tourists milling about this year. Southport isn't exactly teeming with them at the best of times but last year a mass stabbing took place at a dance studio and three children were killed and ten others injured. A protest followed which degenerated into a riot stirred up by right wing...

    Tri-X from the G1

    Tri-X from the G1

    Well done, Gary, for getting such a success rate out of a test drive. All different shots too. I would have been tempted to double up on a few for comparison, but that's just me. I particularly like #05. Not quite what I would have expected from Tri-X though, perhaps a bit of post fiddling would...

    The decline of English seaside traditions

    You are quite right of course, Gary. Change is a constant factor in our lives and the world around us whether we like it or not. The important thing is to embrace it as best we can and as photographers record it.
