granny-pop-out-of-bed

November 24, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 17 November 2023].

This post isn't the first time I've shared a photograph of hedge bindweed for my series, a floral tribute. And I'm sure this won't be the last.

Despite being considered a noxious weed in the US and being able to overwhelm and pull down cultivated plants, including shrubs and small trees, and potentially toxic to humans and animals, I think the flowers are beautiful. I tend to photograph them in most places I find them.

In particular, because they're often found in the least beautiful places: by railway lines where people have tossed their trash, growing by or over derelict structures, in the overgrown perimeters of parks and other tended spaces (often alongside brambles and, in this case, stinging nettles).

Reading more about them, they seem like something out of a horror film: they can self-seed, and their seeds can remain viable for as long as 30 years. And whole plants can regrow from discarded roots. Apply those concepts to "dead" humans, and you have the storyline of many of my favourite horror films and novels.

the heart of the birmingham waterways (reflection)

the heart of the birmingham waterways

November 14, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 10 November 2023].

Phil - my friend and fellow photographer - and I have been plotting and planning a photo walk along the Birmingham canals for the last two summers. For various reasons, we didn't manage it.

We came close in mid-June last year, but the day I'd booked a train to head up there, rain was forecast, so we cancelled the day before. The forecast showed heavy rain on the day, so we'd made a good call.

But last weekend, we finally made good on our plans.

We coordinated to meet on the train at Warwick Parkway at about 10:43. However, that meant me waking at 06:00, getting out of bed at 06:30 and leaving my flat at 07:30. I arrived at Marylebone Station at 08:10, about 50 minutes before my train was due to depart, which was even earlier than I'd been aiming for.

the heart of the birmingham waterways

We set out from Birmingham Moor Street at about 11:20 and walked along the canals from Livery Street Bridge to Spaghetti Junction (the M6/A38 junction), finishing shooting under the bridges at about 15:00.

We walked back to Aston Station, arriving there in time to get out of the rain that had just started and to catch the train back to Birmingham New Street to seek out some food for Phil and a pint for me.

Despite the rain at the tail end of the walk, we had perfect weather and a pleasant and creative day. Phil had technical issues with his camera but managed to work around them to a large extent. I had a minor anxiety attack in the last half hour, heading back from Spaghetti Junction to Aston Station, but it was an otherwise stress-free day as far as my body was concerned.

I shared my iPhone photos from the day on my Instagram on the day and over the following days.

These are just two of the over 300 photographs I took with my D700 in Birmingham.

Thanks to Phil for suggesting the walk and the wide-ranging and engaging conversation throughout.

We'll return in the spring (hopefully!) with some other friends of Phil's to revisit Spaghetti Junction and complete the ambitious circuit he'd set out for us that we didn't manage on Sunday.

old man's mustard

October 27, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 25 October 2023].

Once again, my photography introduces me to new things. I learn from it all the time.

I had difficulty deciding on a title for this post based on the various names for Achillea millefolium: yarrow or common yarrow.

untitled #845 [pondwicks meadow, amersham, buckinghamshire, england, 2020]

According to Wikipedia, it has many evocative alternative names, including arrowroot, nose bleed, death flower, eerie, hundred leaved grass, knyghten, sanguinary, seven-year's love and snake's grass.

I settled on the one I spoke out loud and chuckled at as I read it.

untitled #843 [pondwicks meadow, amersham, buckinghamshire, england, 2020]

Apparently, in Ireland and Great Britain, it was believed to be able to foretell your romantic future.

It appears ingesting it has positive and negative effects on humans and animals.

untitled #842 [pondwicks meadow, amersham, buckinghamshire, england, 2020]

And, for a kid growing up in the 80s, I was amused that yarrow was used to make pick-up sticks. (Though, if I remember correctly, ours were brightly coloured plastic).

These particular specimens were obviously at the end of the season. I photographed them on 10 September 2020 in Pondwicks Meadow in Old Amersham.

It might be hard to make them out online, but these photos I took of the nave of Ely Cathedral include my Mum (walking down the aisle) and my Dad (seated to the right of the frame).

The cathedral's Romanesque architecture dwarfs them.

I have a collection of photos of the exterior and interior of Ely Cathedral that I'll edit soon. But it felt appropriate to edit and share these two images for today's (slightly belated) travel photo, as next Tuesday - when I share them on social media for #TravelTuesday - will be Mum's first birthday since her passing.

I have so many photographs I took during a road trip with my parents in 2017 that I haven't yet had a chance to edit.

I'm trying to fix that (not to mention trying to work through editing all the other photographs I have from other holidays or day trips with them over the years).

It was Mum's last international trip. Her dementia was evident during that visit and even more jarring for me as I hadn't seen her in person since our road trip through Belgium in 2014.

untitled #153 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

crucifixion

April 9, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 7 April 2023].

On a rainy day in late September 2021, I was returning from a few days away in West Sussex with my friend and fellow photographer, Phil.

That day, I was scheduled to return to finish my first cat-sitting with the kittehs I'm currently sitting.

Shiloh is nestled in my lap as I type this, despite my semi-regularly lifting her off my lap to go to the fridge or the bathroom during the past few hours of photo editing. When I do that, she gives me a Marge Simpson-like sound of disapproval.

untitled #148 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

I had an off-peak return ticket to London from Chichester, which meant I could take any train on any permitted route to get back to London within a month of the original booking.

Arundel was on the route back, so we drove there and wandered through the drizzle. Visiting a bookstore. Visiting Arundel Cathedral and the nearby St Nicholas' Church and its churchyard. And having food in a local cafe before Phil dropped me at the station for the next train.

Coincidentally, the train I had planned to be on was cancelled. But I digress.

untitled #150 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

In the churchyard of St Nicholas' Church, we experienced drizzle, rain, the beautiful after-rain sunlight and the saturated hues post-rain brings to stonemasonry, plant life and... well, everything.

untitled #145 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

In the churchyard, we also found this elaborate crucifixion scene.

untitled #152 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

At the time, I presumed it was a monument for someone with a lot of money. Perhaps with a name in the local community.

But, in retrospect, I presume it was installed by the church. Though I can't find anything online to confirm or deny that.

untitled #146 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

Since I took these photos, I've been keen to share them, but I knew I had to share them as a series, not as individual photographs. And, obviously, Easter is a timely point to share them.

untitled #151 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

I didn't capture a long shot showing all the participants in this act of mourning together. But, from the individual photographs and the photographs of Christ and the two women, I'm sure you get a sense of the scene.

untitled #147 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

I presume (with my limited atheist knowledge) the two women closest to Christ are his mother, Mary, and Mary Magdalene. A quick Google search tells me the man is unlikely to have been Christ's father, Joseph.

untitled #149 [st nicholas’ church, arundel, west sussex, england, 2021]

Earlier today, I tried calibrating the monitor I'm working on, but I'm unsure how successful I've been. Hopefully, successful enough that I don't have to redo the edits on these photographs over the coming days.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

an utter shambles

March 28, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 22 March 2023].

Here's a selection of photographs I took in The Shambles - Shambles and Little Shambles - in York during a visit in 2012.

untitled #36 [shambles, york, yorkshire, england, 2012]

untitled #30 [shambles, york, yorkshire, england, 2012]

Though I've visited York multiple times, I didn't know where the name came from.

untitled #27 [shambles, york, yorkshire, england, 2012]

As a vegetarian for almost 30 years, the revelation of where the name originated was interesting.

untitled #35 [little shambles, york, yorkshire, england, 2012]

From Wikipedia: "Shambles" is an obsolete term for an open-air slaughterhouse and meat market. Streets of that name were so called from having been the sites on which butchers killed and dressed animals for consumption.

untitled #28 [shambles, york, yorkshire, england, 2012]

As you can see, even in 2012, that name was no longer descriptive of the shops that populated the area. And on a quick search, the nearby market doesn't sell much meat either.

agrostemma

March 17, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 11 March 2023].

Sorry once again for the radio silence.

As I mentioned in my post of images from Bosham back on 10 February, I had some worrying news about my Mum.

At 19:20 GMT on 28 February, I found out my Mum passed away 10 minutes earlier (though, technically, she passed away at 06:10 on 1 March 2023 AEST. Time differences are weird when dealing with someone's time of death).

So, as you might expect, I've needed some time to process that.

As I do in these situations, I've been writing.

It took time, and there were many tears along the way.

I'm currently editing photographs of Mum and photos taken by Mum to go with the piece.

I'll share it here and on my blog as soon as it's ready. Hopefully, tomorrow but definitely in the coming days.

In the meantime, here are some Agrostemma (common corncockles) I photographed in the gardens at Helmingham Hall on the last road trip I took with Mum and Dad in 2017.

Hold your loved ones tightly.

bosham

February 14, 2023
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 10 February 2023].

I've been working through my photographs of Bosham in West Sussex from a visit there in September 2021 since mid-January. Hoping each week to share a batch of the images with my patrons on a Tuesday as part of my Travel Tuesday curated series.

untitled #236 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

I finally finished this batch (edited down from about 21 photographs that would have worked together) last Thursday evening. And I finally shared them with my patrons on Friday evening. So, not quite as planned.

untitled #197 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

I'm trying not to be too hard on myself about it.

untitled #213 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

October last year was a tough month.

Sitting a gorgeous but poorly kitteh proved to be both stressful and therapeutic.

untitled #194 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

My day job involved long hours in the lead-up to go-live of the rebuild of the organisation's website.

untitled #195 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

Amidst all that, there was worrying news coming in about my Mum. News that settled again, thankfully, but there was a lot of heightened emotion and stress to deal with until things seemed to return to her version of "normal".

untitled #241 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

Once all that died down, I still found myself feeling fatigued. My sleeping patterns were erratic. Getting out of bed was really, really hard. Staying out of bed during the day was just as hard. But in the evenings, I'd find my second wind and could make-up day job hours and work on some creative things.

untitled #215 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

In early November, about a month after my fast-track round of B12 jabs ended, I felt like the effects had already worn off.

I was still going through the process of elimination with health issues (technically, I still am, but the worst options are, thankfully, off the table). So I put some of it down to that but had my B12 and vitamin D tests redone in early January to check those hadn't started to backslide.

I had my next B12 jab a few days after the results came back. And though my vitamin D levels are still "insufficient", they're not terrible, and my B12 levels were back within an acceptable range.

untitled #206 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

But I didn't feel any better. And not knowing why was more frustrating than anything.

untitled #228 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

That is until a couple of weeks ago, at 05:00. As I lay there in the dark, unable to sleep, it occurred to me that I was suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) again.

Although knowing the cause doesn't mean the issue immediately resolves itself, it does help me feel less uneasy. I know what to focus on until the weather changes and that many symptoms will subside with time and by taking specific actions.

untitled #201 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

But then another bout of worrying news came in from Dad last week. We don't know if it will prove another false alarm or if it's the beginning of the end. And that almost makes it harder somehow.

untitled #237 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

All this to say that, right now, life feels a bit like wading through molasses. And it could get worse before it gets better.

untitled #196 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

But I have good days when I spend hours lost in ideas for new projects, instalments of existing projects, writing and planning and editing, and I'm excited about everything. And I try to hold onto those thoughts on the days when I lose hours lying in bed feeling emotionally paralysed.

I also have many sessions booked with my therapy kittehs and soon-to-be therapy doggos this year.

untitled #216 [bosham, west sussex, england, 2021]

This past weekend I was with my regulars in Bromley for the first time this year after a break in January, and I hope it was as therapeutic for them as it was for me.

I hope you'll stick around to see the fruits of the good days as I have the chance to share them with you. And I will continue to share them with you as often as possible.

arseways round

arseways round

December 31, 2022

The portrait of Mouri above I took while cat-sitting her and her father, Dugla, nicely sums up 2022.

It wasn’t a bad year as such.

It was just a bit befuddling, stressful and a constant balancing act.

I experienced worse and more frequent panic attacks earlier in the year due to health issues. I’m hoping the trigger has just turned out to be a new food intolerance (the jury’s still out). But I became near-agoraphobic for a period.

In addition, I got a bite guard and discovered I was both vitamin D deficient and B12 anaemic again 15 years later.

With some time, stern self-talk, medical tests and procedures, I seem to have brought the psychological impact of the potential food intolerance under control. But I need to confirm my suspicions before things return to “normal” (though, even then, the likely culprit is so widespread that “normal” is definitely subjective).

My year started well with temporary work beginning in mid-January. It allowed me to get back on my feet financially after a couple of years of sporadic work and the lingering psychological impact from previous jobs.

And the job offer came despite my being open about my experience photographing roadkill. I shared that in the context of the organisation focussing on haematology as I would potentially have to interact with graphic and disturbing imagery.

Almost a year on, my managers and co-workers are some of the best people I’ve worked with.

They’re inclusive. They understand work-life balance. There’s zero bullying and no alpha male egos to contend with. Bliss.

At this stage, I expect to continue to work with them for a few more months at least, but we’ll see what lies ahead.

Despite the positive start to 2022, the year was bookended by death. And there was also the loss of a beautiful kitteh I stayed with in October.

Anthony left us unexpectedly in January, and a friend’s mother passed in November. So I attended my second-ever virtual funeral toward the beginning and my first-ever in-person funeral toward the end of the year.

Though the degree to which I knew each was quite different, both were meaningful losses.

On the positive side, this year I:

  • Had my hair cut and coloured for the first time since early October 2019.

  • Attended my first live gig since the pandemic started.

  • Visited four art exhibitions.

  • Read a book cover-to-cover in one evening (okay, technically, it was a short story, but it’s the most I’ve read in book form since 2021…)

  • Resumed my language studies (late in the year, this is recent).

  • Continued my letter-writing (albeit just one this year…)

  • Took some new self-portraits.

  • Continued to share curated series from my sepulchre work and travel photographs, and I swapped fungi for flowers.

  • Created the odd digital collage.

  • Dabbled in AI art.

  • Engaged with at least 40 people on dating apps (though at least five turned out to be douches) and went on dates with 10 of those I chatted with (who were mostly not those who turned out to be douches).

primark, formerly medhursts [bromley, london, england, 2022]

This year, I found something of a second home in Bromley, cat-sitting Lily, Sammy and Poppy most months of the year.

The current Primark was originally Medhursts department store, where David Bowie used to buy vinyl. And I popped by to look at a couple of the houses he lived in as a lad.

Earlier in the year, while cat-sitting, I revisited the Imperial Arms in Chislehurst and wandered through

And days out in London included revisiting

Stopping to chit-chat with the resident squirrels.

untitled #2 [new river, hornsey, london, england, 2022]

Sitting Lottie (and her loss) led to a renewed friendship with Sarah and a wander along the New River (not new, not a river) from Hornsey to Bowes Park.

Hopefully, in 2023, we’ll continue that walk north from Bowes Park.

untitled #45

It was an absolute pleasure sitting with Lottie earlier this year despite her being poorly.

I love this portrait I took of her because it’s so uncharacteristic of such a sweet-natured kitteh. Obviously, she was yawning - not threatening to decapitate me - at the time. Though it may seem otherwise.

Alongside my new friendship with Lottie and recurring stays with Lily, Sammy and Poppy, and Meg and Mog, I added

Bentley to my close feline friends this year.

In 2022, I spent 63 nights with smooshable kittehs and visited kittehs locally 13 times.

I had 10 furry clients. Five of them were new clients.

I’m hoping my mojo will be fully restored in 2023. So I can enjoy kitteh-sits, doggo-sits, and photo walks further afield. And continue to hang out with my faves closer to home.

And on the creative side, I look forward to creating and sharing:

  • Themed chapbooks (including photographs, writing, collages, sketches, musical compositions and curated playlists).

  • Collaborations.

  • Possibly some AI art (but likely incorporated into other work).

  • More instalments of existing series, including my love letters to london.

  • New series I’m yet to discover.

I hope your 2022 went as smoothly as possible and that 2023 will bring you lots of good things. xx

I love when my photography leads me to discover new (to me) and very geeky things.

In seeking an appropriate word to use as a title for this image, I read about an intriguing way of measuring time and dating rock.

No, not that kind of dating.

Rather, establishing the age of exposed rock.

there will be comedy (loading only) [futurist theatre, scarborough, north yorkshire, england, 2012]

there will be comedy (loading only)

December 13, 2022
[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 6 December 2022].

I took this photograph of the Futurist Theatre in February 2012 while visiting Scarborough with an ex-partner, Kyle, using The Old Chapel in Baldersdale as our base.

I finally edited this photo a couple of weeks ago and looked up which road it was on in Scarborough. That was when I discovered the theatre closed in January 2014 and was demolished in August 2018.

(Photo courtesy Google Streetview)

I have to admit I gasped in shock, horror and sadness.

The place seemed somewhat comical when I photographed it.

Most British seaside towns - especially their esplanades (even if called something else) - elicit a strange combination of amusement (especially if there's a 'Pleasure Beach'), nostalgia, curiosity, wonderment and sadness for me. Maybe there's a longer piece to be written about that.

But, given its history (both iconic and terrible), it seemed shocking to have been knocked down.

And from what I can tell, the site hasn't been developed further since (which is possibly even sadder).

For a time, the Futurist Theatre had the ignominious heritage of being owned by the Black and White Minstrel Show's producer. They staged the show there many times.

But The Beatles also performed there during their Beatlemania period in 1963 and 1964.

Aside from the architecture, history, irony and nostalgia, I photographed the theatre because The Muppets was showing.

Man or Muppet became our shared earworm during that holiday. It played regularly on the northern radio stations we listened to in the rental car during our time in the region.

Despite its cheesiness, there's a snippet of the film's dialogue in the video clip for the song that got me every time. It still does.
