I have seen beautifully eroded brickwork in Venice, but different to that.

the East End street art, all of the everyday joy and flapdoodle that you encounter on your long walks. It would also be a great medium to draw attention to your blog, books, collaborations etc etc blah blah. Pleeeeeeease?

I’ll have to send you a “ghost” sign in Daisy Road, South Woodford, advertising a local butchers (long gone, sadly). Whilst waiting on the Westbound platform this Saturday we saw a good photo op on the other side of the safety fence – three “lost” footballs in a perfect row! Hope they’re still there…

I feel so sorry for the poor horse in the photograph taken in Dublin, the horse looks so sad and dejected. As for the graffitti on the walls, that really angers me, cannot understand why people would want to destroy beautiful old buildings and alleyways.

Keep up the good work.

I imagine that perhaps you were framing the vehicle with painted message — and suddenly a lively young man zoomed into the frame. “You are alive” becomes a perfect caption, and to me the photo reminded me of the joys of spontaneity — and how we seem most alive when we are out in the world, pursuing our interests and fascinations. Great photos, and visual moments. Thanks, as ever.
