60 minutes, 15.7.12

Whether it be hopeful suitors carving their names, or memorial plaques revealing a favourite place, chairs and seats always tell a story. This location was once a far more grand setting. Near Gunnersbury Park next to the A4, it looked very neglected, positioned virtually under the M4 Flyover. When I went back yesterday, it had gone. I wondered what memories disappeared with it.

Last year I posted images on my blog from various walks, often under the title 60 minutes. I may well start bringing them over to Tumblr.image

Instagram

Finally following fellow snappers Mr Jack Lowe and Mr Julian Calverley away from Instagram. Jack’s ‘An Ode to Instagram‘ is well worth a read, and echoes my sentiments, so I won’t add anymore to the mix. It is a shame that the new T&C’s were introduced…all very heavy handed. All except two of my images were removed before the 19th January deadline, just in case there was another backtrack by the bods at IG. None so far! So I’m now currently residing at EyeEm

The first walk I’ve done in a while…..

 

Guerrilla gardener allotments, October 2012

Richard Reynolds, the guerrilla gardener, told me about these plots last year.  I paid several visits to the area at the time, recording the site and surrounding environment. On Friday I took more photographs, looking at the changes over the last 12 months. So a gallery of new images.

 

 

 

60 minutes – 5th August

I’ve been staring at this roll of film on my desk since the beginning of August, which for various reasons, never got processed. As I was working this weekend, I didn’t have time to shoot any new personal material, so it was a good opportunity to pay the local lab a visit. From a walk from Kew Gardens to Ealing.
