A walk around London

This is Anthony Gormley's sculpture on Trafalgar Square.



This is a really excellent bookshop on St Martin's Lane, full of rare books and magazines.






All the above are some pictures I took while I was walking around London last Sunday. It was a glorious summer day and the light was bright and dazzling.

Sunday dinner cooked by Mum

Mum made an amazing dinner on Sunday night with about five different salads and a huge baked trout.

My favourite is the carrot, garlic, lemon juice and pine nut salad. She got it from the best recipe book in the world called Living and Eating. We call it the Good Book.

A trip to the British Museum

On Sunday I walked from my parents house up to the British Museum, where I marvelled at all the great plunders of the British Empire.

My parent's flat in London

my mum spins her own wool...



...and she makes amazing patchworks out of all our old clothes...



...and my dad goes mudlarking and finds things like this ancient toothpaste box.

Saturday in London

I went up to London to visit my parents this weekend. On Saturday I took a nice walk around Soho, ate some Sushi, looked in some shops with my sister, explored the streets and found a beautiful old map....

It was my first day out properly shooting with the new camera, and it was fun! But I have so much to learn, there are so many options and settings that I don't really understand yet. I think its going to take some time to become really confident. This website is helping me so far.

Le Freak Boutique

Yesterday I went to visit Zoe in Le Freak Boutique, on Picton st.

old life drawings

I found these old life drawings on an old hard drive. They are from my final year at art college in 2006. We used to do about three hours of life drawing each week, with models of all different ages, shapes and sizes.
