Creating a scene: XR Oct. 2019 Rising
I’m working out how best to photograph Extinction Rebellion. A friend of mine tells me she does not support XR because their disruptions alienate people who need to be brought on side. So perhaps it’s best to back away from XRs photogenic performances to include the bystanders and their reactions. Much of the time this […]

Keepers
What do we keep and what do we cast out? Susi Arnott and I have been working with a portable daylight studio on the Thames foreshore, to produce an almost indiscriminate catalogue of objects, many collected during Thames 21’s clean-up and research events. Objects of disgust will be returned to the river or bagged-up for recycling […]

Photographs of cold water swimmers tend to be gentle social satires […]

I’ve recently dug out and scanned these photos I took of the ‘Battle for the Pullens Estate’ 32 years ago. Now a thriving mix of residential and working spaces the Pullens estate came very close to being completely obliterated. On June 10th 1986 squatters attempted to repel police and bailiffs intent on evicting them prior to the […]
