First and best Valentine's day of my life was spent in a lovely little converted cottage outside the village of Bwlch in the Brecon Beacons. Can you pronounce that name? I certainly can't, but what a wonderful place. In the deep mid-winter, this minibreak was so warm with a wood-burning fireplace, stunning views during walks on the bluffs and the best company ever.</div>

Outpatient procedures in London often require patients to arrive on-site, nil-by-mouth by 7am. This necessitated me to drive to St. Barts in the darkest, dampest hours of the morning in late January. Which then meant parking in the Smithfields underground car park. For a photographer, it's places and moments like this that can be the most fortuitous. I'm a vegetarian, but the Smithfields meat market offers a brilliant opportunity to capture carcasses, white suits & wellies and strategically placed fluorescent lights. And some very warm, friendly meat packers.</div>

The end of December provides a great opportunity to take some long-exposure photography in Kew Gardens, particularly now the Christmas sound and light show looks to become a permanent feature of the holiday season in our village. And whilst I was wondering round the the Palm House, I noticed that Syon House just across the Thames in Isleworth was lit up as well. </div>

Last month my older daughter had to have one of her projects for her first year architecture course photographed for her portfolio. When she was at art foundation school, the projects were unusual, but nothing quite as curious as the smelliscope. This is a wearable device which enables a person to capture the aroma of a meal and then to paint a picture of the meal with inks developed from the meal's ingredients and brought to mind by oils which had been infused with the smells of the dishes. Got that? And my daughter wore this to Franco Manca on Tottenham Court Road at lunch time while I stood on a chair in front of her. And we weren't chucked out!</div>

My partner and I did something that I hope will become an annual tradition: getting away for a few days before the Christmas activities begin. In early December we drove to one of our favourite places on earth: the Brecon Beacons in southeast Wales. The weather was dismal, but the scenery nonetheless beautiful and emotive - this photographer's aspiration. And the proof of a great trip is to have a fantastic time despite damp, drizzle and dark. You just need the right attire, attitude and ambiance.</div>

There's no denying that the Christmas holiday season provides incredibly wonderful oportunities for taking all sorts of fantastic photographs - from the lights of a village, town or city to home decorations to pets and family shots. The thing is that many of these opportunities happen in low light and so are somewhat tricky to get right. But I was pretty pleased with what I came up with this year. I hope you enjoy these shots. </div>

Last Friday our small southwest London village of Kew held its annual Christmas fair. It's one of my favourite village events, besides the dog competition at the summer fair!. What's particularly unique about this event is that the sponsors are our unique and wonderful local independent small shops and businesses, like Westbrook Hair Salon, Oliver's Wholefoods, the Kew Gardener, Tap on the Line, Kew Bookshop and many others. Our local chain shops don't contribute. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The atmosphere is always fantastic at Kew Sparkle; entertainment is provided by local primary school children who sing carols as well some rotating rides for the littlies and a pair of panto characters walking around on stilts. Kew Sparkle brings family & friends together to buy Christmas presents, sing songs, eat street food and drink mulled wine. This is my third year of taking photos at this Christmas fair and I hope to be able to do so for years to come. </div>

On the 7th of November my partner invited me, his son and his son's partner to the Guy Fawkes celebration at the <a href="http://www.hurlinghamclub.org.uk/">Hurlingham Club</a> in Fulham. Not only was there a procession of the Guy with torches and an effigy wearing an anonymous mask, but there were a brilliant laser show and just about the most spectacular fireworks display I've ever seen. I have to say that <i>the</i> most was the 1990 show held on Highbury Fields. This occurred just after the beginning of the first war in Iraq, the deposing of Margaret Thatcher and the spluttering of the economy. Nevertheless, the wisdom of Islington Council was to put on a spectacle like no other. I can't really prove that it had been on this blogpost, as I didn't have a camera back then. But I did capture the extraordinary evening the Hurlingham Club organised a few weeks ago. Not only were the lights and explosions fantastic, but the accompaniment of the music was perfect. I'm so glad I brought my Canon as this night will now be remembered forever.<br />

I can't believe the developer I work with, Roy at <a href="http://www.cubelofts.co.uk/">Cube Lofts</a>, didn't give me a heads-up on my latest interiors shoot. He and his crew built a new loft as well as renovated an open plan kitchen with extension. With photography, it's possible to enhance the appearance of any space, but in this home, with the design and decor so cool and contemporary, I really didn't have to do very much in terms of styling.

Bonfire night in Trafalgar Square meant Anonymous were out in force again this year. There were many warnings by the Met for the protesters to behave. They were permitted to organise in Trafalgar Square, proceed down Whitehall, protest in front of 10 Downing Street, and then carry on to Parliament Square, ending in front of the Treasury. I have a great deal of sympathy for this group - particularly in their fight for economic and social justice as well as using social media to to disempower some IS members on the internet. One thing I do object to somewhat is the drinking and smoking some followers of Anonymous do before the march. It leads to some dangerous behaviour and whilst walking to Downing Street, I felt I had to march with the police rather than the demonstrators in order to keep my camera (and myself) safe!</div>

After such a gorgeous summer and warm early autumn, it's been difficult to acclimatise to this extremely dull November. However, I need to remind myself that grey skies can create a mood that is nearly impossible on a beautiful, clear day. Even Richmond Riverside appears sombre and devoid of the bustle that comes to life here on the weekends.</div>

If you haven't actually ventured inside it and walked all the way around it on the exterior, you haven't seen St. Paul's. It's Goodness, Truth and Beauty combined for all time. An added bonus is that the cathedral's Institute often hosts some thought and action-provoking lectures and debates, such as the recent one about <a href="http://www.stpaulsinstitute.org.uk/videos/2015/nov/03/postcapitalism-envisaging-a-shared-future">capitalism and post-capitalism</a> with Paul Mason, Ann Pettifor and Phillip Blond. <br />

I recently took a little expedition to the Ashcroft Square Estate above the Kings Mall and then on to Buckingham Palace where I knew there would be demonstrators raising awareness of objections they have with the visiting Chinese premier.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Ashcroft Estate is the one you see when you walk from the car park to the Kings Mall. Whilst all of Hammersmith is quickly upgrading and resurrecting, the estate appears to stay the same. I really hope that at some point it will be included in the beautification of the borough - and allow the residents to stay.<br />

We're deep into that time of year when the stags of Richmond Park compete for the females herds. It's actually a very loud business - more so than actual meeting of antlers. However, the park wardens have advised people to keep their dogs on leads at all times in the park. For the first time in her life, I actually think Billie was grateful to be on the lead and actually scooped up at times.</div>

I do like to get to Kew Gardens with my Canon at least a
couple times a season. A few weeks ago I
caught the afternoon sun in and around the Palm House. I’ve lived near Highbury Fields, Hampstead
Heath and Virginia Water Lake. These are
extraordinarily lovely places, but still my favourite of all the places for which I’ve
lived within walking distance, the one that has become my precious back garden
is Kew.<o:p></o:p></div>

In light of the increased tension and violence in Jerusalem
over the course of the past month (including 30 Palestinians deaths and 7 Israelis),
a Protest for Palestine was held on the 17<sup>th</sup> of October on
Kensington High Street opposite Kensington Palace Gardens where the Israeli
Embassy is located. The demonstration
was organised by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Palestinian
Forum in Britain and Friends of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
I shot two not dissimilar protests last year (one directed at the BBC
and one at 10 Downing Street). In their
demonstration notice, Stop the War Coalition stated:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>We have come together to oppose this escalating attack on
Palestinians. We welcome all who stand
with us in our opposition to all forms of racism, including antisemitism and Islamophobia. Supporters of Palestinian rights encompass
all faiths and none. Muslim, Jewish,
Christian, Atheist, religions and non-religious people all stand together on
this protest….We stand with Palestinians in their struggle for a future free of
racism, colonialism and apartheid. There
is no place for racism in a progressive movement fighting for justice and human
rights.</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was fortunate at be
able to get right into the centre of crowd where several individuals were
leading the chanting prior to speeches.
What I find fascinating about these protests are the large range of people participating – from young to old and of all races. From a photographic point of view, what I
found particularly ironic is the juxtaposition of this extremely serious
subject with the seemingly carefree posh shopping area of Kensington.<o:p></o:p></div>

For my birthday this year, my partner surprised me with a
trip to Morayshire, Scotland. He’d told
me about his adventures in previous fly fishing trips to the Highlands, but I
really had no idea what it was all about.
For one thing, it’s not just for men.
Secondly, despite wading into a fast-moving river up to one’s waist, fly
fishing is quite graceful, gentle and meditative. Thirdly, lunch by the water is
fantastic. Lastly, the hotel where we
stayed was authentically Scottish and elegant and a superb place to socialise
with fellow fisher-people/friends at the end of the day. It’s a bit like a ski trip, only instead of
ski instructors, there are highly experienced and wonderful ghillies. Would I do it again? For a long weekend, in a heartbeat. </div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Over the
course of the summer months this year, I had the great pleasure and privilege
of photographing two incredible families in Kew Gardens. And fortunate for me that they’re also my
neighbours on our street in Kew. This is
something I’ve been hoping to do for ages as the Gardens have always been my
sanctuary, my natural retreat and my inspiration. And to be able to photograph children and
families in some of my favourite spots was a dream fulfilled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The first
family was a mum and her two gorgeous children.
This woman has been particularly important to our street as she has
organised our annual street party for the past few years now. I don’t even think we ever even had a
street party before she moved here.
It’s a beautiful thing to see such natural love and joy among a mum and
her kids.</span></div>

The second family was equally as wonderful. And once again the shoot consisted of under an hour of photographing the four of them or a couple of them on a route through some of the prettiest parts of the Gardens, including a secluded spot behind the Temple of Bellona, the Henry Moore statue, the Sackler Crossing, the Rhododendron Dell and the children’s play area. With a family this enthusiastic, photographing them is a complete pleasure.</div>

On the 3<sup>rd</sup> of July the students of <a href="http://masqueradearts.com/">MasqueradeTheatre Arts</a> held a dress rehearsal for their summer 2015 show including their
rendition of Hairspray, We Will Rock You, a medley of Disney characters and
Shrek. I had the pleasure and privilege
of photographing these song & dance numbers. With children ranging in age from around six
to sixteen, they performed with skill, charm and energy, led by their
inimitable teacher, choreographer and company principal, Cristin Curtin. She’s a woman I’ve known for many years,
seeing her grow her business from a private singing teacher to serious musical
theatre director and producer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I think it’s apparent how much the children adore performing
in the following photographs and I’m so glad I was able to be capture this fabulous performance for posterity.</div>

This summer granted my partner and me a wonderful
opportunity for relaxation and refection. So I spent two of the
three weeks of his ‘holibatical’ in Wales and Hereford. The first cottage in which we stayed was
built around 1560. Yes, that’s a full
200 years before the founding of America. The little house was quite rustic and located on National Trust land south of Painscastle. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My partner and I recently took a week’s holiday to
Sicily. Though it’s a relatively small
island , we decided to do a little siteseeing, but just as much relaxing. We landed in Calabria (the city were a
boatload of north African refugees were recently brought from their smaller
vessel in the Med). From there we drove
to Siracusa and spent the first evening walking the warren of footpaths in the
Old Town of Ortigia. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last month the Best of Richmond, a marketing, advertising, networking and reviewing firm, hosted a business exposition at Twickenham Stadium, as it has done for years. The event featured a presentation by business guru and owner of Watertight Marketing, Bryony Thomas, as well as 80+ stalls in which local businesses displayed, demonstrated and explained their goods and services. I had the great privilege of being asked to photograph the event and I had a fantastic time. The </span><span style="font-size: large;">atmosphere was one of high energy and a positive outlook about the future. I really do feel fortunate to be a small business owner myself in this patch of London – filled with other serious, hard-working professionals who love what they do.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I recently had the opportunity to accompany a group of
photographers to the Thames Barrier located just downstream from the O2 in
London. The outing was organised by, in
my opinion, two of London’s finest photographers, Umbreen Hafez and Arpad
Lukac. The view of the Thames Barrier
with Canary Wharf in the background is probably one of my very favourite
cityscapes in London. I’m not exactly
sure why, but perhaps it’s to do with my fascination for the intersection of
nature, the built environment and beauty.
This gigantic series of gates is the second largest in the world (after
one located in Holland) and its importance to the safety and welfare of London
is immeasurable. I learned a lot in this
project by just looking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvg2asACsG0">online</a> and also discovered that 2014 was,
unsurprisingly, a spike year for tidal and fluvial flooding and therefore the
closing of the gates. In comparison, in
the 1980s there were four closures, in the 1990s there were 35 and in the first
decade of this century there were 75.
According to the Environment Agency, the rate of
closures is above that predicted and is increasing rapidly.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now getting back to the aesthetics of this structure, I’m so
struck by how the piers that control the opening and closing of the gates
appear at night. They’re like beautiful
golden beacons or turrets guarding the city and its inhabitants behind them I’ve personally never seen
anything like the Thames Barrier anywhere I’ve been to in the world. And the fact that it’s beautiful but also
technologically complex and a vital component of London’s infrastructure make
it all that more fantastic to me.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

A few weeks ago, I
had the great privilege of photographing a <a href="https://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/richmond#">Best of Richmond</a> networking event at
<a href="http://www.olympiccinema.co.uk/">Olympic Studios</a> on Church Road in Barnes.
What a treat of a gig! Olympic
Studios has a long and fascinating <a href="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug12/articles/keith-grant.htm">history</a> in the recording world and,
thankfully, was rescued a few years ago from luxury property developers and
turned into a cinema, café, studios and member’s lounge. The décor and feel are definitely vintage,
but with contemporary fare stylish international films and live broadcasts of
plays and operas. Olympic Studios is a
brilliant example of visionary people resuscitating an historical patch of the
high street in a thoroughly modern and stylish way.<o:p></o:p></div>

An interesting if disturbing phenomenon has been taking place in the
London housing sector over the course of the past decade or so. Despite other regions of the UK facing serious
long-term consequences of the economic recession, London property (from the
perspective of the owners and rent-harvesters) has gone from strength to
strength. The reasons are well known:
growing demand across the whole housing price spectrum combined with a stock
that hasn’t moved enough in response – or hasn’t been able to move due to
planning restrictions. It’s now quite
difficult to trade up in London. Hey,
it’s hard to get on the ladder at all if you aren’t one of the 0.1%. So increasingly people are choosing to
convert their lofts into luxury bedrooms with stylish ensuites as well as
extending their kitchens into the garden to create one huge open plan living,
dining and cooking space. I’ve had the
incredible privilege to have been able to photograph many of these conversions
for Roy Elliott, owner of <a href="http://www.cubelofts.co.uk/news/">CubeLofts</a> in Teddington. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There is something quite exciting about walking into what
looks like a traditional Victorian terrace house, only to find that the
extension with concertina doors opening into the garden – provides as much
space – if not more – than a house in
the country. There are a few things that struck me as I
styled & shot these brilliant spaces: one is that it is possible to really
personalise a period property to suit a family’s lifestyle and tastes. Secondly, even though most of these
extensions have truly stunning contemporary kitchens, the focus of the space is
actually more on nature and the light outdoors.
The skylights and particularly the doors which open up to make one wall completely
open air, lead one’s attention to the weather, wildlife and foliage. And thirdly, in a time when many psychologists
despair over family members who are dispersed throughout the house in front of
various screens, a well-designed extension helps to bring them back
together. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Despite the fact that every room has an optimal vantage
point from which to capture it at its best, my favourite architectural portrait
is the doll’s house shot. I learned this
from my very favourite interiors website: <a href="http://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/kitchen">Houzz</a>. This is a shot that that includes five sides
of the cube which comprises a room with the far wall an even rectangle – like you
see in a doll’s house. <o:p></o:p></div>
