Spotted on Seven Sisters Road. Could be the start of a brand new series!

#Holga Hospital
I’ve just finished modding my last three Holgas, that’s five in total. All my funky little darlings now boast a flocked interior and a switchable aperture. I’ve been busy shooting several new projects, including Urban Decay and Fashion Victims. Watch this space for a serious Holga Overindulgence, coming very soon!
It’s all about the Flip-Flops #advertising
…. and not about the scantily clad chicks whose faces we don’t even want to see. We don’t need to book a make-up artist or hair stylist either. It’s all about the product – very clever! Spotted in one of the countless shoe stores on Camden High Street.
You should see the OTHER guys!
Spotted on Devonshire Road in Chiswick, on my way to work.
Michael Jackson #michaeljackson
If you thought the British press have blood-dripping headlines, think again: German “Sun” equivalent BILD Zeitung presented their version of “This is it”: DEATH FILE Michael Jackson. Is that maybe a wee bit theatrical? Or is this German Efficiency at work?
Fluffy Stuff
Spotted on Chiswick Eyot
Concept: Leaving Hollywood
I’ve just watched some “celebrity special” here at work. My colleague Marc had to do a dubbing job, and somehow his programme ended up on my monitor. It was funky stuff about “celebrities” and “how to get there”. While watching it, I had this idea for two stories: The first one is about a character …
Hurry – it’s Fright Night!
Abstract bloke from the Bodyworlds poster. Rather disgusting. Spotted at Turnham Green tube station.
Chiswick Eyot
On my lunch break, I went out to recce the Chiswick surroundings by the river. I expected to find all kinds of rickety old mansions and funky houses. Instead, the very low tide on the Thames caught my attraction, with a path leading to what’s known as Chiswick Eyot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiswick_Eyot I remember discovering this years …
Total Anarchy on Brick Lane #photoopportunity
Quick everyone! Let’s head over there and take some pictures before they turn that place into a Starbuck’s!
Snappy Snaps – Crappy Signs
They’re photo specialists, not sign specialists… spotted just across Aldgate Tube Station.
Rotten Butcher Sign
Camden High Street. Must remember to go back here with my Holga, fits in with an urban concept I’m working on.
Lego MTV – an #MTV sign made of #Lego
Found at the reception desk at MTV London
Yesterday, at the bus stop
Brian is obviously the man… Brian is in fact so popular that his amazing flyer was gone only 24hrs later.

Spotted in Camden Market at lunchtime
Fish and Chips at Pier 1 in #Camden
This is what Camden needed all along: a good chippie! Although on the pricey side, it’s on par with venues like The Diner & Co – and definitely worth a visit. Fresh fish, grilled or fried in batter, just like in your favourite chippe down the road – minus the greasiness. Choose from cod, haddock, …
Jazz-FM are back? #jazzfm
I’ve found this fascinating advert on a bus stop this morning: Jazz-FM are either back, or this is a really really old one. They’ve even got the chameleon logo going again. Quick history lesson, from what I can recall: The station started as a Jazz station in the early nineties, together with Classic-FM. At first …
New Fish & Chip shop PIER 1 has opened next to MTV
Located in the building that’s seen restaurants come and go about twice a year for the last decade, this is finally something I can subscribe to. Opened yesterday, so I thought I’ll give it a go for lunch. Great view from the upstairs inside, even though £12 is a tad pricey for cod and chips, …
NEW SERIES: Live from My Phone
After months of grey hairs, blood, sweat, tears and the odd nervous breakdown, I’ve finally managed to add a new feature to the site: the ability to post via email. Sounds really harmless, and Blogger does it with minimal effort– but on WordPress it’s one of the meanest things to get going. I wanted a …
