City Futures
Clear blue skies over the futuristic architecture in this little section of The Square Mile certainly lend themselves towards creating a science-fiction-esque feel don't they!
The C305 Crossrail Project
What better way to spend a sunny Saturday than donning some PPE and heading 37 metres down under the streets of East London! Here's a preview of the Crossrail Project tunnel construction at Bow Creek.
The Barbican Estate
Until recently I had always viewed Barbican’s brutalist architecture as a vast concrete eyesore only good as the setting for a low-budget zombie flick. That was before I spent a week shooting there and provided with a special key! Well, not that special as [...]
Photography is not a crime!
It’s been a while but got stopped by a security guard whilst taking a couple of shots of St Paul’s a few days ago. Having appeased him I found myself being followed surreptitiously by three more. I realise that these automatons are blindly following instruction [...]
Looking upwards!

Québec City to NYC Roadtrip
My wife and I recently took a short roadtrip from Québec City, through New England, and ending with a few days in New York City. Vast areas of stunning wilderness interspersed with cities, each with a character all their own and ‘The Big Apple’ being [...]
UrbEx anyone? Don’t mind if I do!
What better way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon than exploring a disused art deco department store! It has certainly decayed severely since it’s incarnation as Scottleys in 1999, the filming location for “The Greatest Store in the World”. Having said that it’s former grandeur [...]
I think we’re gonna need a bigger torch!
Ever heard of Urban Exploring? If not, Google ‘UrbEx’ to discover a secret world of derelict buildings to go out and explore! This was our first UrbEx adventure so my fellow snapper and I opted for an easy one to get us started… an old disused brewery. The buildings were simply vast and extremely dark inside due to the limited amount [...]
