Communication overload

The BT Tower, a phone box, a mobile phone, and a mobile phone shop all in one shot just off Oxford Street. There really is no escape...

Street photography inspiration/instruction generator

Stuck?

I am making a street photography inspiration/instruction random generator here.

Designed for those days where everything seems blank and nothing is working. It is primarily intended to be used on mobile phones...

With a nod to Eno and Schmidt's Oblique Strategies and the I Ching, of course...

Brighton quotes/photos 2013 (Brighton belongs to me)

"Brighton is not exactly England. I have always felt at home here."
Quentin Crisp

"...even shimmering in the rain Brighton looks like a town recovering from a multiple orgasm."
Julie Burchill, Guardian article here

“Brighton is very nice, but I'm not sure about the sea. I think the sea is a mistake. I mean, what does it want, banging and crashing away on the shore like that all day?”.
Quentin Crisp

"Brighton is a town that always looks as if it is helping police with their inquiries."
Keith Waterhouse

Masks. Nicolas Cage and Lana del Rey via Oscar Wilde

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde

Nicolas Cage (Nicholas Coppola)
“I am still legally Nicholas Coppola but I am Nicolas Cage. I had to reinvent myself. ...

As soon as I went into the casting office under a new name and they didn’t know that there was a connection, I got the part. I felt liberated. It gave me the freedom to become what I wanted to be in my dreams.”

Lana del Rey (Elizabeth Grant)
"I think the reason why I started making music and you know [under] the name Lana Del Rey was really just so I always had a vehicle to actually be exactly who I was … like it was actually a way for me [to feel] free enough to be myself and that was my way of choosing to do that.

London street photography, July/August 2014. Part 2

Once again, looking to add to my "London: The Tourist Guide" series, I paid several visits to the capital in July/August this year.

As the title implies, the series linked to above is intended as my representation of the tourist's eye view of London, focusing on tourist spots, tourists themselves or ironically illustrating some cliched aspect of London life (think "This is London" by Miroslav Sasek).

On Eastbourne Pier this weekend

On Saturday I paid a visit to Eastbourne, and stepped on the pier for the first time. Unfortunately there has been a major fire on the pier today (30 July 2014). Very sad to think that most of the structures shown in these photos are no more...

Greetings from LA (Littlehampton), July 2014

The Saturday before last, I paid a visit to Littlehampton in West Sussex. Also known as LA (Little 'ampton), the seaside town has been the inspiration behind many classic songs, such as LA Woman by The Doors and Drinking in LA by Bread Van 3000.

I lived in the area in my youth - and my blue plaque is a tourist hotspot.

Clicking on the photos should make something happen, depending on what device you're using:

[The Chef's cat, Littlehampton]

[Seaside beach kiosk with people and flags, Littlehampton, aka Swanage in The Inbetweeners]

Along the way, I bumped into Justin Sainsbury of the Burn My Eye photography collective and local "character" Neil Warry.
