I took this picture way back in 1984 with an old 110-instamatic camera and was very proud of the result –but the fact is almost any picture one takes in Venice turns out well because of the textures and colours and the abundance of water. It's a photographer's dream city.

A personal blog of photographs taken by me that I wish to share for inspiration, interest and illumination. These images have not been taken with expensive or fancy equipment, just very basic cameras because I believe a photographer's energy should be on the subject not the tools. Each picture tells a story. Comments are most welcome and please feel free to download or share any images you like, except for commercial use. Such use is reserved and subject to license.

Flats
The facade of an apartment building in Bucharest. I was fascinated by the diversity of expressions made by each individual flat, window and balcony. Some are more intriguing than others –one flat seems to have no windows or door, another has a couple of flower-pots attached to the wall, providing a flash of vibrant red amidst the mishmash of greens, blues and greys.

Quiet Station
A December afternoon at the train station in my old home town of Dereham. The station does not have a regular train service, but is run by volunteers, mostly at weekend, so much of the time it is empty and rather forlorn, but trains and rails always fascinate me and the clouds were unusual, especially in sepia.

The Tourist Who Got Cut Off from Her Group
With so much to see in so short a space of time it is inevitable that not everybody can keep up with the group. This image captures the moment of indecision in which the tourist debates with herself whether to cross the lawn (not permitted) or go the long way round.I'll leave it tiy you to guess the outcome.

The End of a Hot Day
Deckchairs are a wonderfully English institution. Most other places people just fling themselves on the grass. Here it's the end of a summer's day in one of London's parks, and the last person is just leaving. The breeze is picking up, and the neatly paired but scattered chairs are fluttering memorials to lazy conversations and relaxation earlier that day.
