I spent six hours shooting in south London yesterday. It was 26 degrees and the sun burnt the back of my neck and I met 19 interesting people who changed the way I see the world.

It’s been pretty quiet around here lately. I’ve not been taking many photos because I’ve been working a lot. And the photos I have taken are just of the same old stuff. It’s l...
“I’m just really concerned about dying in the fire.” “It’s a big decision, how one prefers to die.” Carrie Schneider’s Burning House reminds me of Charlie Ka...
I’m going to be in the south of France at the end of June for work, for fun, for my birthday. Have you been? Any tips on places to visit between Menton and Marseilles? Merci.

There were a few days at the start of April where London looked like this. But it’s rained every day for a month now and it feels so cold and so dull. But you get by. You see art, you eat delic...
Eatin’ apples. (I’ve just started a babin’ Mick Jagger board on Pinterest, FYI). [via The Tally Ho]

I took this photograph five years ago. I still regret not buying the painting in it, like I regret not buying some green and white striped denim shorts I tried on in Madewell two years ago. Like I re...

It’s the first morning. I’ve taken things back.
Parking and driving. Stopping and starting.
Believe it or not, this is Communist Dictator Josef Stalin way back in 1902. For such a bad dude, he was totally babin’.
70s apartments, Alghero.
The sea, the sea, the sea.
There’s a procession in Alghero on Good Friday. It starts at eight and winds through the streets until two. We watched it from the door of a restaurant, then stumbled across it again on the way...
There are tiny caves on the island of Sardinia. They’re known as fairy houses or Domus de Janas and were used as tombs by the Ozieri between 3400 and 2700 BC. They’re empty now, sitting a...
A rough sea, the constant threat of rain. On the road between Alghero and Bosa.
We drove to Grotta di Nettuno, a stalactite cave near Alghero. Only a few hundred metres are open to the public but we were told there are 4km of caves all together, growing constantly and silently i...
Alghero, Sardinia.
For an Easter holiday to an Italian island that you booked wishing for gentle seas and endless skies, for skin warmed by the sun and legs freckled with sand. That instead, holds forecasts of rain, th...
These photos were taken on the same day, on the same camera, just metres from each other. It is interesting to me how they capture the light and dark of it. Of the ocean and sky and the point where t...
