Streetlight

These were taken in a little village called Autoire in France.The light was coming from an old fashioned lamp which created a great reflection in this road drain.

Morning!

2008-11-29T21:38:00.000+01:00

This was far too early for me but worth it all the same.I do love the old misty mornings.Say what you want but you can never get enough of a sunrise.Unless of course your off to work.

Lost

This one was a stroke of luck.I saw this happy chap in Richelieu,France, although it looks like he's just popped in from a Disney animation.I thought this photo was cool because at the time it really seemed like he was trying to get my attention from around the pillar.I was walking and had to step back to see who,or what it was looking at me.It's a an unusual mix of real and artificial objects and I'll be keeping my eye out for more like this.

You can say what you want about this one but I like it because firstly I'm a big fan of street music and really think that it can liven up the most ordinary place (tube station springs to mind) and secondly I'm sure that most people appreciate the music but its the way it has different affects on people that I've noticed.The two women look like they're more interested in getting to the shops but the man on his own looks like it has brought back some memories and stopped him in his tracks.Or maybe he's just got nothing better to do and thought this was a good place to stop.I'll let you decide.

Frozen

You can probably guess where this was taken.This one is the artist in me playing around.I like to take shots of water because you can freeze it in so many different forms.

Reflection

This is a good friend of mine in London and was taken on a random drive on the lookout for interesting photos.I thought at the time there was a cool side to this shot so I took advantage of the fact my mate didn't really have a choice in being my model. But in the end,he liked anyway.

Steps

2008-06-15T10:57:00.004+02:00

These steps were taken in Paris near The Louvre and I was drawn to all the natural colours of the stone which were perfect for this black and white shot.But also if you turn your head,you find the has photo another perspective.I like either personally.

Flatlines

2008-06-15T10:46:00.003+02:00

I took this from a flat in paris in Neuilly sur Seine and just love all the vertical lines you can find.I think this one is cool for the eyes.

Gravity

We're away from France now and on the Isle of wight in the South of England.I grew up here and know this beach very well.I was near to the cliffs at the time and the water was getting closer and closer to my feet so I was almost forced into getting this snap.This is one of my favourites because I just love all the different shapes and colours.It could almost be a black and white photo but I prefere just the little touch of colour it gives.

Cascade

2008-06-13T20:03:00.003+02:00

This was taken in Autoire as well and yes its true,it has its very own waterfall as well! Yet another reason why it has its reputation.This is my attempt at some kind of fantasy shot.I played alot with the colour on my computer which in the end I found myself going round in circles so I eventually chose what I originally created.Always the way isn't it.I do believe something or someone could be hiding in this photo.Any ideas?

Red rocks

2008-06-12T20:45:00.006+02:00

This one was taken in a village called Collonges la rouges,once again in south of France.It was originally bigger but i thought by getting a bit closer it would give the ruins more impact on the eye.I love the sky in this one because it was really that blue and it gives the stone more prominence i think.
