I've photoed Leadenhall Market in the city before, but always around 11pm, and it's totally devoid of life.

Using a lunch break of my own, I wandered down there to catch the bustle of the Square miles workers on their lunch breaks.

January 8th 2012 - Oh My! What A Lovely Room Of Death You Have


8th January 2012

The Horniman's museum in Forest Hill was founded by Victorian tea trader Frederick John Horniman and contained his collection of natural history, cultural artifact's and musical instruments. It's very local to me and I have always seen it as a collection of curious oddities, best of all is the Natural History all, basically a massive room of taxidermy. Alright if your fascinated by dead things like partially dissected cats in formaldehyde!

January 3rd 2012 - Goldsmiths


3rd January 2012

Today's shot is one of the most striking bits of architecture in London, and at my old university, The Ben Pimlott Building at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The £10.2m building, which houses rooms for the visual arts, psychology and computing departments, was built by architects Alsop and Partners, who also designed the award winning Peckham Library in south London.
The building itself is clad in metal on three sides, with the remaining side constucted entirely from glass. There’s also a “metal structural scribble” on the side of the building, as seen in the capture here.
