It's all about perspective……
6 a.m. is my time. The boys are still asleep in their cozy beds, dreaming their small child dreams. They are safe and undemanding. I walk into the living room, half open both sets of curtains and look out on Kingston Bridge, quiet for the moment, asleep like the homeless people living in the arches… Continue reading Kingston Bridge at 6 a.m.
I've lived around Kingston-Upon-Thames for a number of years now. There is one spot I just really love. It is a mural, a study of the Artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and I have always been intrigued by the work. Partly because it decorates the underside of a railway bridge in one of the less frequented parts… Continue reading The lasting effect of Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Brighton has always been a favorite place of mine to hang out on a weekend. The front and Pier, the side streets, the clubs and bars at night. The Street Art is also exceptional, and I tried to capture some of this on a trip at one point. I hope you enjoy.

Inside Angkor… Continue reading Five take a holiday in Cambodia – Too stoned to climb downstairs and the children of the temple

It was both supremely relaxing, and awe inspiring too. I felt if I could live there, I would never need to see anything… Continue reading Five take a holiday in Cambodia – Lost in the Khmer Empire
Some of us wanted something to smoke, so I headed to the local market on the advice of one of our moped guys. This itself was an experience, the market completely covered by patterned cloth supported on bamboo poles, the flimsy roof constantly rippling in the breeze, the sun shining down through the gaps between. … Continue reading Five take a holiday in Cambodia – buying pot and a policeman with a Kalashnikov
