The Glory Of Trees
No matter how tall, majestic and strident they may be, soaring buildings are still eclipsed by the random etchings of tree branches. It just takes one tree to challenge the angular voice of city buildings.
Tree branches New York City, 2005
Trees that survive the clinical aspirations of planners still manage to assert authority. They remind us that the vanity of metropolitan architecture is peripheral compared to the seasonal voices of trees.
Tree branches New York City, 2005
It is impossible for sleek lines, marble and economy of design to challenge the arbitrary signals of a tree.

Pensioners Fight To Save The Liverpool Women’s Hospital!
The Merseyside Pensioners Association (MPA) meets every Wednesday at Jack Jones House in Liverpool. They discuss issues relating to pensioners and everyone in society. They are at the forefront of campaigning for justice for pensioners and regularly engage in action to support different campaigns. Here they are supporting the fight to keep open the Liverpool Women’s hospital. The MPA is the antithesis of the stereotypes of pensioners the media likes to portray.

The Demise Of Cheshire Street East London
These photographs were taken a few weeks before this warehouse was demolished and the space used for a luxury housing development. There used to be a number of warehouses on Cheshire Street which facilitated a rich variety of stalls catering for a wide range of tastes. You could by a restored valve radio, cameras, tools, CD’s, clothes and old photographs and paintings. It was a delight to simply walk through the warehouse just to view the stalls. The man sitting behind the jewelry appears to be looking around in a way that suggests he doesn’t want certain people to see the contents of his glass case.

Although the cabinet is partially held up by an empty coke tin the demeanour of the owner of the wood and glass cabinet adds an air of urgency to any potential sale. His body language is communicating: “everything in the case is for sale at well below the market value but you had better buy quickly as I will be leaving soon.”

Sadly there are no warehouses left on Cheshire Street that sustain men with glass cases full of jewelry and watches. It is no longer possible to buy a restored valve radio or old watch. The place has become gated and ‘organic’.
