Back from being repaired and serviced for me by Alan Lewis. A Kane Incabloc watch and a Crawford triple-date watch, both with Swiss movements and dating from the 1940s.
Found at home – A souvenir sheet of stamps from the Japan World Exposition, Osaka 1970.
Typography on an old 2oz tobacco tin – Player’s Navy Cut, ‘Gold Leaf’.
Found: In the 70s when I was about 8 or 9 years old I had a ‘Plasticraft’ kit (almost identical to the US Plasticast toy). It comprised of a ceramic mould, enamel liquid, hardener, coloured liquids and some sample things to ‘enamel’. I didn’t attempt to make the shell pendant or the monogrammed cuff-links, I went for a stamp; creating something slightly more disturbing. Maybe it was the fumes.
I worked for 15 years as an editorial photographer in London back when nobody had heard of ‘digital’ and film was costly. My clients included the BBC, IPC Media and Associated Newspapers.
In 2001 when I realized that to be very successful as a photographer I would need to become either a) bloody fantastic or b) egotistic (the latter option already heavily overpopulated), I knew it was time to leave the big city and seek out new beginnings.
Now I enjoy a quiet life in South Wales where I work as a web designer/developer; primarily using WordPress as a CMS, creating sites for studios on both sides of the Atlantic.
2008. After abandoning photography for nearly 7 years I’ve started to shoot again, finding a new joy in using my ‘serious compact’, a Ricoh GRD1 [Update 2009: a GRD3]. For the curious; I’m shooting a lot of street photography which can be seen here. My old professional photography portfolio is also still online here.
This personal blog will contain examples of my photography, snippets of overheard conversations, found items, and any other stuff I find interesting. A veritable dumping ground if you will.
