PHOTOS

Here is a random sample of my photos. Visit my galleries for many more.


<p>Red berries and black spikes outside a house near Highgate Cemetery, London.</p>
<p>A night scene in Bressanone / Brixen.</p>
<p>In Buenos Aires, a stencil proclaims 'The dingo ate my baby' beside a sticker of a local variant of Shepard Fairey's 'Obey' giant. That is, an Australian mother's cry of despair from a real-life case in 1980, channeled by Meryl Streep in a 1988 US film and amplified to absurdity in 1990s TV series from <em>Seinfeld</em> to <em>The Simpsons</em>, appears alongside a sticker riffing on a US street artist's work (itself a rendering of Andre the Giant, a deceased pro wrestler, paired with a line from a 1988 John Carpenter film, <em>They Live</em>) while invoking the arcane Spanish verb form barely used outside Iberia or churches – and they somehow come together on an electric box in Argentina's capital in 2015. It sort of makes sense. Or not. No idea.</p>
<p>A wedge of a building makes for an interesting corner in Cork.</p>
<p>You can almost feel the bumps in that wired glass.</p>
<p>Beautifully aged shutters on an old house in Sibiu.<br /></p>

A lot of what I write professionally carries no byline. Here are some of the works I have put my name to.
