An opportunistic photo, taken one day on London's South Bank. Truly, the light was strong in this one.

About me

- August 12, 2025

I am simply a woman - I just needed some help to get to be me. I transitioned in the 1980s, when the term didn't even exist; I underwent sex change surgery (now called gender reassignment) in the early 1990s. I am horrified by the increasing prejudice against transgender people in recent years and by our vilification both in traditional media and on social media. You would think that we were evil incarnate, but the truth is rather more prosaic - we are just people, with jobs, partners, social lives, hobbies, and interests. I'd like to show you some of my photography in a pop-up gallery - I'd love # ArtPride and #ArtsPride to become A Thing; this is my small cupful poured into the pond of Pride. I've redacted my surname because reasons. The majority of my photos here have been taken simply with my mobile phone (Samsung A23, seeing as you asked) camera in point-and-click mode.

Pining for Norfolk

- August 31, 2025

The Norfolk coast is arguably the most beautiful coastline in the UK. It has world-class geology, The Wash, more seals than you can shake a stick at (from a good distance, of course!), reedbeds, sand dunes, good eateries, stately homes, historic villages within easy reach, stunning beaches and at Holkham, behind the beach there is this lovely pine woodland.

A modern icon

- August 31, 2025

Part of the redevelopment of Birmingham's Bullring involved the construction of the iconic Selfridges Building, designed by architects Future Systems and completed in 2003. There are 15,000 anodised aluminium discs mounted on the structure's futuristic, flowing facade. It is a photographer's dream!

In the big city

- August 31, 2025

A water feature created as part of London Wall Place project; after the Second World War, there was necessarily a great deal of reconstruction both in the City and in the Greater London metropolis. Some of the reconstruction was simply ugly and some was well thought out. This water feature, which I photographed whilst walking to the Barbican* one day, definitely falls into the well thought out category. *The Brutalist architecture of the Barbican itself is divisive; I'm not fond of a lot of Brutalism but the Barbican Centre at its heart is quite something.

Canary Wharf

- August 31, 2025

On a 'plantie' day visiting Canary Wharf and the Dawn redwoods at the Jubilee Line station, Eden Wharf, and the garden above the Canary Wharf Elizabeth Line station, I walked theough the Adams Plaza Bridge between the said station and 1, Canada Square - the tower that epitomises Canary Wharf. The artwork (artwalk? Is that a word?) was created by Camille Walala for the London Mural Festival, 2020. I had to capture it in black and white; I love the way that that brings out the detail.
