A few weeks ago I visited the Robots exhibition at the Science Museum, in London. I took along my favourite low light camera, the Sony A7RII. The exhibition blurb states that it is “Focusing on why they exist rather than on how they work, our blockbuster exhibition explores the ways robots mirror humanity and the …

Animal Magic
A visit to London Zoo last week offered some time for a great day out with my oldest son. Being of the view that always carrying a 150-600mm lens and a DSLR can get a bit intrusive, I took my Olympus E-M1 mkII with me. This camera rightly wins plaudits for its high speed shooting …
Raising Barriers
We’ll call this a little more Brexit delayed output, originally I intended to publish this in May. London is vulnerable to flooding. If a storm surge coincides with a spring tide, dangerously high water levels can occur in the Thames Estuary. The threat has increased over time due to the slow but continuous rise in …
Classic Cars and Dinosaurs
There’s a range of things that happened (and were heavily photographed) in the summer that I failed to cover here. This is all down to to the car crash that is brexit and everything that’s followed, including vast amounts of protesting, campaigning and social media. However, as a potential end to the good times is …
Devon Daze
I should probably point out in advance that if you are expecting more outraged political discourse, this post isn’t it. This post harks back to the time when all I used to write about was travel, life in general and photography. I digress…. This year we wanted to head to somewhere new on holiday. Money …
Reasons to be cheerful, or why brexit is very unlikely…
Theresa May said “brexit means brexit”, we see a parade of right wing clowns into the government roles related to negotiating brexit and we hear the rest of the EU wants us out. So if you believe in the UK’s EU membership you should suck it up and get over it, right? Wrong. Neither the economy …
Remain
I don’t suppose this will surprise anyone who knows me or who has seen my Facebook account, but I’m voting for remain in the EU referendum. I explicitly don’t want this to turn into a negative post (though some parts of it will be) so I will try and make positive statements. The pictures were …
Respect
Last Friday, I headed over to Parliament Square to pay my respects to Jo Cox MP, the member of parliament murdered by a right-wing fanatic, seemingly angered by her support for Britain to remain in the EU. For the last few years the poisonous media narrative has been about corrupt MPs only out for themselves, …
The Pasty Strikes Back
Pentewan I’ve not been posting for a while, mostly because I’ve been on holiday and away on and off the last few weeks. We headed back to Cornwall for a week away in April and as ever it was welcome. This time we stayed in the lovely village of Pentewan, nr to St Austell and …
Chinatown at New Year
First of all, a small confession. I didn’t actually go to the amazing parade to Trafalgar Square for Chinese New Year. I have always loved visiting Chinatown in London’s west end, ever since I moved to London in 2000. One of my favourite memories is visiting Chinatown with my other half in 2004(ish) to watch …
