Game of chess, Oxford
A game of chess in progress at my house on an overcast Sunday afternoon.
Wall box, Stanton Harcourt
Fuse box on the wall of an abandoned military base in Stanton Harcourt. The evening light was wonderful for this shot, and I like that it’s nice and uncluttered.
Kitten shrine, Oxford
This is a hideously-cheap version of those prosperity cats you see in Chinese restaurants – I bought it in Berlin a few years ago, and this is the object that turned out best on an extremely grey day for shooting pics. The multiple views of me taking the photo in its reflection are quite fun, though, despite the terrible lighting.
JCB grille, Oxfordshire
Here’s a shot of the grille of a JCB parked up by an abandoned cement works just outside Kidlington in Oxfordshire. I thought this bit made for a nice couple of abstract shapes, and the contrast between the yellow paint in the evening sun and the blue sky is lovely.
Toilets, British Library
This is a shot of the gents’ in the British Library, which had a pleasing symmetry to them. And this sort of shot is surprisingly difficult to get – a completely unoccupied set of urinals is a rare thing indeed, unless you’re in the cleaning business or operate unsociable hours. Anyway, lines and textures and that, blah.
