"The Crow Masters"

Two men and a pigeon, telling the crows how it is.

In lush green Hyde Park, surrounded by trees and beautiful grassy parkland, two men sit on part of a dead tree trunk at the bottom right of the picture. One is pointing down at a pigeon in the grass near his feet as if giving it instructions. About ten feet in front of him, also on the grass, is a small army of more than twenty crows, mostly looking towards the men and the pigeon, as if awaiting further developments. In the almost absolute silence, I wonder how many crows make up a murder…

We see the back of a male street performer dressed in grey trousers, grey t-shirt, and black and white trainers, sitting on a unicycle at Covent Garden Market. Below him are the faces of the audience watching him; behind them is the colonnade at the front of the market building; above the colonnade is the large balcony of the Punch and Judy pub where more people are sitting at tables, mostly watching the performer; and above them are the words 'Covent Garden Market' and 'Punch and Judy'

On a set of large concrete steps up to a restaurant that also serve as benches, a young man is sitting in the middle facing the camera with his hands in his jacket pockets, his eyes shut, his head leaning over to the right of the picture, looking bored. To his left, at the extreme edge of the bench is a young woman talking to him. Or attempting to

Two teenage girls are walking right to left past a mural-sized piece of street art depicting a teenage girl with blonde hair in a blue hoodie, with the hood up, holding a massive carrot - as wide as her arms - across her shoulders. She is poking her tongue out at the passers by, and directly at us, the viewers

A black and white photo showing a stall in London's Brick Lane market, laden with plastic cups full of fruit juice, and some full of fruit. The vendor can be seen (and heard) at the right of the scene, calling out his 'Fresh juice!' litany over and over and over again. A woman at the left of the scene looks at the cups of juice; several passers-by can be seen on the pavement behind the stall

"After Effects"

Ink and Paint. Can you feel it?

All Rights Reserved.


We see the upper half of an older man who is bald and whose entire head and neck are covered in tattoos. His open black jacket reveals that his t-shirt shows a death metal image complete with a metal skull. He is holding an opened can of Red Stripe lager and standing in front of a print in a shop window depicting two happy-looking clowns holding their groceries. The man looks happy enough slowly getting sozzled in the afternoon sun

 Two ladies in long dresses, one red and white and with a pink and white shoulder bag stands on the left, the other red and gold with a red shoulder bag stands on the right, and with pink curly wigs, stand in Wardour Street, one of the gates to Chinatown. They are each carrying a number of long colourful balloons folded into shapes and the woman in the left holds a balloon pump in her hand. They both look sad. Most of the other people in the street are at least 20 feet behind them, walking away. Lots of red and yellow lanterns hang above the people

"Beachcomber"

On the Thames foreshore at London's South Bank.

A man stands looking down at the shoreline of the river. He is wearing a bucket hat, a hooded hi-vis jacket with dark sleeves, a pair of black gloves, black boots, and a pair of dark trousers with the right leg rolled above the boot. On his back is some kind of bag held over his shoulder by a thin rope; it looks more like some kind of climbing harness. He appears to be a 'mudlarker', or beachcomber
