Ajeto Glass

Earlier this year I went to The Czech republic for monocle to photograph the Ajeto glass factory for Monocle's regular The Specialist report. It was published in the current issue. Here is how it looks.

And here are a few that didn't make it into the edit.

In Paddington

I was doing some location photography for a commission around Paddington yesterday. Here's my favourite of the day:

New Spitalfields Market

The last 3 very early mornings I spent photographing at new Spitalfields fruit and veg market to complete my little projects on the city of London Markets. Here are a couple of shots. More to come soon.

Exhibition: Notebook 4

Over the last two weekends we had a little show of wok in progress at the studio and darkroom I share with Heather McDonough, Melanie Stidolph and David San Millán del Río. We all showed something and we also had some loveley wet collodion prints by David Emitt Adams made on the back of 35mm film canisters on display. Here are some installation shots.

Monocle

A couple of months ago I took the pictures for a Monocle magazine culture report about Nobrow, a very nice, independent publisher of illustration books in London. The piece was published in this months issue of MONOCLE.

Enzo

This is Enzo Scocchia, whom I photographed a while ago originally for a commission for The Photographer' Gallery. Another picture I took will be used in the end.
Enzo is the owner of The Spaghetti House in Tufnel Park, which is alocal favourite of mine.

Salford Zine Library

Salford Zine Library will be at Salford Art Gallery from 15 October 2011 to 29 January 2012 showing the archive along side some original artwork, film showings and workshops.

My book TRIP will be included.

Smithfields

 I continue with the London Markets. Last week I got up early to  go to Smithfields.

 

The Atlantics

Another band photo I took recently:

Ciguñas

Cigueñas are storks. This is a picture I took earlier this summer in Castromocho, a small village in Castilla y León in Spain. There are dozens of storks in every village nesting mainly on the church roofs and towers. In this village no less than 80 storks had nested on the church until they had to be removed because the roof was caving in. Some of these found their new home here on the silos in the abandoned flour factory outside the village. Storks are protected in Spain and much loved, partly because they function as a sort of pest control as they eat small rodents; and partly maybe because of the myth that they bring the babies...?
