My favourite photos of my own on Flickt

Architecture (712 photos)

Pictures of bridges and other architecture from around the world

Landscape (182 photos)

Images of landscapes

Living Things (380 photos)

Pictures of plants and animals

Graffiti (81 photos)

Photos of graffiti, some good and some bad... I'm not being judgemental; i like a lot of graffiti it just needs to have some artistic flair, expressing a message through the medium of paint... If you're going to tag, at least do it with some style (see the VIP tag on Bristol ice rink compared with the defacing of the boys school door)

textures (38 photos)

Photos of materials and surfaces

Photoshopped (3 photos)

Images I have 'tweaked' in some way using photoshop or similar photo editing software. Picnik is now built into Flickr and Facebook and is really rather good.

Renault F1 open day (7 photos)

Photos taken on an open day at the Renault F1 team headquarters in Enstone. Obviously, much of the hi-tech, top secret factory was off limits for photography as was the monster computer facility, so these are photos taken in the museum of famous Renault cars.

EH managed the event, details here BBC reported on the event here The Guardian covered the events here I will be blogging the event asap; overall a lovely evening but the management by the authorities and the before and after press releases deserve some commentary...

Salisbury (26 photos)

Bristol Harbour Festival 2008 (110 photos)

Photos taken at the 2008 Bristol Harbour Festival. Unfortunately, it's been so long since I took the photos, I've forgotten many of the names of the acts... There's a programme of the event here and another here.. I particularly enjoyed Bellatrix; absolutely amazing beatbox skills. The Dark Angels were also stunning, a world class street dance crew based at the Angels Dance Academy in Bristol.

National Archaeology Week 2008; Avebury (10 photos)

This year, I went to Avebury as a 'civilian' (ie not doing any work) with a group of friends. Much fun was had by all.

Stokes Croft, cultural quarter (14 photos)

Stokes Croft is an amazing bit of Bristol, a place where graffiti artists can exhibit their skills. The Mild Mild West by Banksy is here as well as a variety of panels by other artists. Some of the buildings are up for redevelopment (hence no picture of the Mild Mild West; it's behind a big fence) and, judging by the comments on the consultation boards, looks like there will be a bit of a fight if the developers just want to drop in another faceless McStarbucks type development. Let's hope this cultural quarter gets the sort of regeneration it deserves, keeping the essence of what makes it Stokes Croft.

Holograms (12 photos)

This set of photos was taken at an exhibition of holograms currently on at Banbury Museum. The holograms are truly awesome and trace the history of the holographic image and its uses in industry and art. The holograms are from the Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection: More on the exhibition here

Cardiff University are also involved in the work on the east window. The tour was arranged under the auspices of the BA Festival of Science.

Morris Dancers (13 photos)

A congregation of morris dancers were doing their thing in Reading. As well as the more traditional outfits, there was a variety of costumes ranging from the multi-coloured and amusing to the dark and quite sinister. The traditional and the dark are apparently the Cotswold and Border Morris respectively; the Cotswold having the white shirts etc whilst it is those from the Borders who blacken their faces and wear 'rags' (from Earth Mysteries)

Brunel Graffiti (19 photos)

Commemorative, commissioned graffiti, undertaken as part of a youth project for Brunel's 200th anniversary, on a wooden fence enclosing some waste ground near the retail shopping outlet in Swindon. It is a really long panel, made up of a number of images; i've tried to get each piece, as it were.

Stanwick Lakes (29 photos)

Stanwick lakes are the result of extensive gravel extraction during the 80s and 90s which have now been landscaped to form public amenity space, ideal for picnics, walks and days out. Before that, there was an archaeological investigation of the valley and I worked on some of the data for a bit (the Raunds Roman Archaeological Database or RRAD as it is affectionately known) so thought I would pop in and see whats left.

Broadway Tower (8 photos)

On a day out with mum and dad. www.broadwaytower.co.uk/ for more information

Science Fair, Frome (17 photos)

Becky and I went to Frome to help out with a science fair. The fair was held in a lovely non-conformist chapel, built in 1707 and abandoned in the late 1960's before being stabilised then later renovated in the nineties. In the period from its abandonment to its stabilisation by the local heritage society, the memorials were stolen from the interior walls and even the lead taken from the roof, leaving the building open to the elements. The wonderful modernisation has resulted in office space upstairs used by a firm of architects (who were also responsible for the design), a fantastic open space for arts and sciences downstairs plus a cafe area and more offices in a modern extension to the rear. A brilliantly creative example of how to save a Grade I listed buidling from dereliction. The graffiti is on a wall in the carpark adjacent to the chapel although looking a bit faded in places, shows some obvious talent. Looks like the wall may have been done as a whole, presumably with permission

Fowey aquarium (7 photos)

These fish and shellfish live in an aquarium in the old salt store by the main square in Fowey. Their water is taken from the inlet and is always flowing. My favourite was an enormous lobster, the story goes the fisherman took it to the fishmonger who was astonished and, thinking that the lobster would be too tough to eat, suggested its donation to the aquarium where it lives to this day, getting even bigger! Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good picture of the monster as it was hiding....

Pictures were taken around Bristol and the Severn valley using a long lense on the D100 (70-300mm) and a wide angle on the D70 (11-18mm). Subsequent photos (taken on trips to Wales, Weston-Super-Mare and around Bristol) use the same lense on the D70 and a 35-70mm lense on the D100 (with a few shots using the 70-300mm zoom lense)

Megalith (18 photos)

A megalith has been placed in the entrance to the new archaeology building at Southampton University. I took these pictures as the megalith was arriving and being moved to its final location. I will add some photos of the megalith in position as soon as I can get the opportunity. These were taken using a wide angle lens and you will see various attempts at framing the picture in some of the sequences, some more successful than others!

Photos taken on a visit to Corfe Castle, November 2004, whilst staying at Poole. The castle itself was a victim of its own success; after holding out against Cromwell in the English Civil War, Cromwell ordered it rendered useless and the fortifications were undermined using explosives. Some of the towers are now some distance from where they were constructed and the gate has a split-level appearance.

I haven't processed these images any further; some exhibit marked distortion from the stitching process.

Around Cumberland Basin and the Floating Harbour (32 photos)

Photos from around Cumberland Basin, the floating harbour and the surrounding area

Park Place and Pro-Cathedral Lane, Bristol (9 photos)

Photos of the old boys school, the convent, hall and the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles off Park Place and Pro-Cathedral Lane, Bristol. The buildings are all now in a terrible state of disrepair and are lucky to have survived at all, showing signs of fire, damage from break-ins and graffiti and being in one of the more expensive parts of town, what must be an ideal development plot. Indeed, the multi-storey carpark built on the adjacent plot hardly enhances the setting of these magnificent buildings. On the plus side, at least the buildings provide shelter to some of Bristols homeless although the use of the Cathedral as a skate park by kids doesn't seem quite right...
