MGF in the new Forest
Driving a new MGF roadster through the beautiful New Forest
Photography
I have been fascinated by photography ever since I was a child. These days I am seldom more than a few metres from a camera. My photographic interests sprawl from artificial intelligence through to vintage zoom lenses. Unsurprisingly, there’s also quite a lot of Linux in the middle. :-) More…
A strangely decorated Southampton bus stop
Driving along Dave Valley Road in Southampton one day and stumbled upon this. So, of course I had to stop and grab a few snaps.
Flora the flowerpot cat
Flora the Flowerpot Cat. Next door’s cat decided she liked kipping in a disused 25cm flowerpot on the dividing wall. She was a particularly friendly creature and loved having her photo taken.

Cuba 1998 – a 35mm film retrospective
Found myself in Havana, Cuba with former New Millennium features editor Sarah Keen, back in the spring of 1998, shortly before my photography “went digital”. Lots of memories from Cuba: the warm climate and friendly people, old American cars, the beautiful but crumbling architecture and the stunning countryside. But most enduring memory is the music….

Geese on film – a 35mm film retrospective
I always had rather a soft spot for geese. There used to be a small gaggle of them on the Cemetery Lake, on the Common, opposite my old place in Southampton. Back in the days of film, they were always excellent models to shoot off the last few frames of a film. And they seemed…
Wales 1996 – a 35mm film retrospective

Birmingham 1996 – a 35mm film retrospective
I found myself stuck in heavy traffic the M6 on the Gravelly Hill Interchange – AKA Spaghetti Junction. Radio said I could be stuck up there for hours. So I exited the M6 motorway at junction 6 and turned onto the A38(M), what they laughingly call the “Aston Expressway”. That was bumper-to-bumper too. So I…
Istanbul 1996 – a 35mm film retrospective
Found myself in Istanbul with former New Millennium features editor Sarah Keen, during a particularly cold spell, back in February 1996. Now, I had naively imagined that the Republic of Türkiye is a hot country. But not in February, apparently. It was bitterly cold with icy winds all the way from Northern Russia, howling across…

1993 Prague – a 35mm film retrospective
An old pal was studying at at Prague University on an exchange year for his degree. He asked me if I would care to join him for a week or two. So I made my way to London’s Victoria Bus and I hopped aboard a Prague bound bus carrying a small bag of clothes and…
