Albums and Christmas presents
Well several …. and a Miro. While in the UK I spent one night in the home of a couple I had photographed two years earlier. They were both paper conservators. One of them was restoring a series of Picasso pieces and a Miro. His workroom was also the spare bedroom. You get that in [...]
I am giving a talk in the UK in September
I have several unconfirmed speaking opportunites coming up … I wondered what insights I might offer. I also wondered what people wanted to hear. I realised there are way too many experts offering the answer … well actually they would offer a reason for the answer and then sell you the answer in a box [...]
Postcard series
Postcards from a series of 6
the first of a series of six postcards
Before I was married I used to write in a diary when I needed to get stuff out of my head. I knew that if I had burdened my friends with the random thoughts I was having I would probably have run out of friends. Its a thing that many of us do … it [...]
Philip’s brother said that when he gets older he wanted to be cool and funny like their uncle. Philip said ‘but you aren’t even cool now.’ How true. We often hope that the future somehow has the answers when really we are the answer, … or not.

We are having a baby! Jo Grams (my wife) is 20 weeks into the project and doing fabulously. We have declared our space a no horror story zone. How is it that everybody has a story about ‘the things that go wrong’ that they feel compelled to share? Our friends have been good about not [...]
