Putting a pin through the past. The welcoming scene to greet me as I arrived at Camden Road Overground Station last night was that of a drunken old tramp relieving himself against a tree. It was good to be back in the old neighbourhood and to see that so little had changed since I finished working here almost six months ago….

The Plan
I happened upon this sign in my office kitchen this afternoon. I did a bit of snooping online and found that some have referred to this document as the Genesis of Shit. I thought it was mildly amusing so took a photo. Enjoy: You can now follow my adventures on Instagram here.
I was not designed to make you laugh
In a recent post I discussed wanting to make a change to my life and, sure enough , I went and took the plunge. I no longer work with VICE News (the three hour daily commute was steadily eroding my will to live), but have instead taken a post with the BBC. Since I was…
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
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…
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…
Just checking in on you
It’s been a fine week for street-art in Camden. I saw these new pieces while out for lunch. I wish I could write more, but I’m a little up against it this afternoon, so I’ll just leave them here to your own tender mercies. For more street-art and other strange things, you can follow me…
Smurk
This mural by Smurk appeared near Mornington Crescent tube station over the weekend. The work replaces the piece by Deesaster that I snapped a few weeks back. I have around 60-70 photos from my recent visit to Brick Lane that I hope to get posting over the next few days, so watch this space (pun…
This week in travel notices
One of the guy’s who writes these each morning caught me taking a photograph during the Thursday rush hour. I explained that I post these pictures on the site and he seemed quite flattered. He thanked me for paying attention. No, said I, thank you. I now have a “Reddit” share button. It would be…
Back in London
I returned to London after spending my Christmas in Bristol. Walking to Westminster Station, I took this quick picture of the Abbey with my phone. Such an incredible building. Follow my blog with Bloglovin
