  • The Blind Statue

    The Blind Statue

    This is a shot from the archives, of a statue I found near Westminster, London. I believe she represents either faith or justice. What did this image teach me? Well, I don’t know if I’ve really learned this lesson yet – but I’ve been researching statues and their meanings (a fascinating subject!) and I think…

  • The Stone Face, Cracked

    The Stone Face, Cracked

    I found this ancient stone face in a museum on Cyprus. It was a small place, full of old stone objects. What did this image teach me? That even an old, cracked, crusty face is worth a photograph.

    The Angel & The Scythe

    This tiny statue resides at the top of a set of stairs, carrying his scythe. He’s about three inches tall. What did this image teach me? A lesson that I seem to constantly need remind about – never stop looking. There’s always, always something interesting just around the corner.

    One of the joys of taking a camera with you almost everywhere is that you sometimes get to capture something rather unusual, such as this deep-sea diver mannequin. What did this image teach me? Never put the camera down, not even for a moment, when you’re exploring a new location. You just never know when…

  • Churchill & Ben

    Churchill & Ben

    This is one of the famous statues of Sir Winston Churchill, forever looking across at Big Ben (well, the Elizabeth Tower which houses the Big Ben bell). What did this image teach me? Winston Churchill has had such an impact on our history, everyone knows what he looks like – and even when taking a…
