When I first started photographing the street art around London two years ago, I had no idea that I would amass such a huge collection of pictures and artifacts – If I was one for overblown hyperbole, I’d almost describe it as pantagruelian (but I’m not, so I won’t). I have nearly used three quarters…

Music plays somewhere in the distance
More than three quarters of the Greek population list their religion as Orthodox, and if you find yourself there during one of their religious celebration, it is an almost certainty that you will find yourself involved in the pageantry of the occasion in some way, shape or form. I spent this year’s Easter holidays in the Northern…
Do the Truffle Shuffle!
I’m back in work after some time off due to a wicked case of that damned Optic Neuritis. I went for a walk at lunch to see if anything has changed in the neighbourhood and was pleased to discover a few new pieces of street art, including a rendition of Chunk (from the 1985 movie…
The best way to predict the future
I was only working for three days this week, so – once more – I have very little to show for myself. Anyway, here are the travel notices that I saw this week. You can now follow my adventures on Instagram here.
Alexander the Great and Optic Neuritis
Right now, I am hauled up in my West London flat, having been excused from work on account of a nasty case of Optic Neuritis that has totally messed up the sight in my right eye. I’m popping enough pills to have made Hunter S. Thompson take note and trying to fight off the horrendous…
In order to succeed
I don’t have too much to show for myself this week as I was only working til Wednesday. I was considering skipping posting today, but I’ve gotten such positive feedback about these little signs that I thought I might as well show you what I have. Here are the travel notices for this week. You…

Time For Action
I was only going to post once today, but I went for a walk on my lunch break and saw some new street art that I haven’t photographed yet. Here’s what I found. You can now follow my adventures on Instagram here.
No one is busy in this world
I didn’t post anything last week as I was in Greece for their Orthodox Church’s Easter celebrations – of which I will write about soon. I took around 1,000 photographs and am currently weeding my way through the best of them. Until then, here are the travel notices from Camden Road station this week. You…
Look what I found
DRT began exhibiting his uniquely abstract pieces in London at the end of last year. Since then, I have noticed and photographed several of his works around the city. The artist was at it again this weekend in Camden Town and I spotted the new piece on my way to work. When I got into…
Do what you can
Herself is in Greece, so I’m home alone for the next week until I join her over there for Greek Easter. I’ll have to find something to keep myself occupied for the weekend, though I fear my efforts may amount to little more that sitting on the couch and watching Sergei Bondarchuk’s incredible 8 hour…
Everybody needs a hobby
Sometimes beautiful, often puerile, but always interesting, I have been photographing the street-art around London for a couple of years now and I’m constantly surprised by the ingenuity and originality shown by artists across the city. We went to Brick Lane at the weekend and I decided to use the visit as an opportunity to…
Difficult roads
There were only two quotes on the travel noticeboard at Camden Road station this week. The manager has gotten quite used to me taking pictures and we tend to greet each other in the morning, which is somewhat of an interesting consideration.
