Weeds are organic rebels. They grow where they want to grow. They are hardy and relentless. They seem small and conquerable but ask a gardener how much effort he or she has to spend fighting them. You will see how formidable they are. On the day I took these photographs, the sunlight hit them in such a way that I could respect and admire them for the first time. And it made me question whether this, like most other wars, […]

Here are some photographs of Digbeth on a special sunny day. They were taken a couple of weeks ago, you could probably guess when. If you’re ‘Mad about Mod’, go to Urban Village at the Custard Factory. If not, go anyway and meet some colourful and friendly folk. Their website is here: http://www.urban-village.co.uk/.

This is Coventry Road in Small Heath, Birmingham. It’s a place alive with variety. Today, I captured a small sample of this thanks to the kind people who allowed me to photograph their property. I challenge you to find better value elsewhere.

After weeks of compulsory thinking and compulsory writing, I am back. Thinking about slanting rays and meandering shadows let loose by the afternoon sun. These pleasant chaps consented to a group shot. But their friend Jim didn’t want to be in it. I’d like to thank them for the beaming smiles and hope they like this photo.

This is Digbeth, part of Birmingham City Centre. There are lots of historical buildings, some pretty and some ‘ugly’. I like the combination of the two. Here you get the Edwardian Police Station reflecting on its much younger commercial neighbour, Smithfield House. Bollards. As I snapped this quiet grey building, I was reminded of many other underused buildings. It’s a shame, especially in the current financial climate, that we are not getting the full value of our assets as a […]

Today I visited my first love, the old Central Library and took a few photos. My view of this place may be rose-tinted, but I love it. Saying this, I love the interior even more than the Brutalist exterior. There were orange carpets, exceedingly well laid out books and great desks. The place is currently closed and soon to be demolished so the interior shots below are old. I took these a couple of years ago in my favourite corner: […]
