Happy Birthday Susy!!
February 21, 2007 – 11:58 pm
It is my wife’s birthday today. Photographer’s spouses are very important as they have to put up with a lot - and she sure puts up with a lot! Here is one of her photos…

Why, ‘The Bartender Never Gets Killed’?
February 15, 2007 – 11:29 am
Bee Flowers asked if the title for the blog was based upon the fact that my self-image was of being pissed on.
The problem with having a taste for pulp movies is no one ever admits to getting the references! Anyway, in Banderas’s ‘Desperado’ there is a scene in a bar with [...]
Another old friend…

Doing another database search yesterday to find an image for a submission, I came across another old pic I’d half forgotten about. From my ‘green’ period…

Photographers that changed the world - Charlie Harbutt
February 11, 2007 – 9:42 pm
I was once fortunate to do a week-long workshop with Charlie Harbutt. I think Charlie is one of the best kept secrets in photography. He is a rare breed. He is, or has been, a photojournalist. Working in Magnum as well as co-founding his own agency.
He writes and talks extremely well about photography.
He is an [...]
Plan for this week…

This weeks work is to go back to where I shot this…
Although, with the spate of change around the city at the moment, it may not be there.
Sant Adria de Besos
February 10, 2007 – 12:19 pm
I’m starting to really enjoy tracking my photography with Google Earth. This was taken just above the red dot in the map, looking back towards Barcelona, inland towards the mountains. You’ll need to click through the map twice to get the full size version - WordPress seems to be a bit clunky in the [...]
Photographs that changed the world…
February 10, 2007 – 2:27 am
… well, not the world maybe but certainly important for me.
Going back through my archives to find an image, I found that a small number of pictures stood out as having marked a change of direction in what I was trying to do with my photography, and also in what I was ’seeing’. A landmark, [...]

Olympic Village
February 8, 2007 – 4:52 pm
When Barcelona hosted the Olympics, whole sections of the city were pulled down and redevloped. The part of the Olympic Village that borders the beach is essentially Tourist City, but behind the frontline are different kinds of spaces.

I photographed this site about 12 months ago as part of my Oasis project - it was a vacant piece of waste ground. Now I find this…
La Ciudadela

One of my longterm on-going projects is a study of the parks and gardens in Barcelona. These two from the Ciudadela.
Shop windows
February 8, 2007 – 3:44 pm
I’m irresistibly drawn to shop windows. I’ve tried resisting the urge and just not making the picture, but it is a bit like NOT having that second cup of coffee in the morning…
Introduction
February 7, 2007 – 3:55 pm
The last nine months have been a very fallow time for me. Far too much effort and far too many hours doing the boring stuff needed to pay the bills.
The good news is that I now have space to work on my photography on a regular basis.
My webpage has become unwieldy. I now need [...]
