Darling Buds of Tooting
Tooting Bec Common, Apr 2002

The colours on this tree were just fantastic: the reds and greens and pinks coupled with the golden glow of the setting sun. And the buds looking as if they are just about to burst open.

Drag Whore
Ealing, Dec 2001

A friend of mine dragged up one night and at the end of it was a complete drunken mess. I couldn't resist turning this into a sleazy porn pic. He'll hate me for this but I think it's fantastic.

Tree of Knowledge
Tooting Bec Common, Jan 2002

I think there's something very divine about this photo. I positioned myself so that the glow from the sun formed a halo around the heart of the tree. Although taken mid-afternoon, there's a night time quality about this photo.

Silent Reflection
Tooting Bec Common, Jan 2002

The silhouette of the stark branches against the early evening sun, give this photo a very stil and almost empty feel,

Humbled by Trees
Regents Park, Jan 2002

I really like the perspective, created by the top of the trees and the edge of the path, which makes the man look quite insignificant.

Bricks

Again, part of the view from my bedroom window and good geometrics. I love the segmentation created as the white wall intersects the brick wall behind.
