So, how was your Christmas and New Year? Mine was very pleasant: spent mostly in the north-east of England visiting family; busy enough to not get round to posting any pictures here (though some went on my Instagram).

Back in London and it’s 2017 and, for the first time since 2001, I find myself a man of leisure (ie without a job – don’t worry, I won’t starve for a little while). Spending a few days sorting out domestic admin before getting stuck into the world of freelance/contracting, I took a trip to Woolwich on a wet Monday.

Peter Burke’s Assembly sculptures were looking good in the rain; not much else was, to be honest (even the Salvation Army seem to have moved on), but there’s always something interesting to see in Woolwich at least.

Part of my recent admin efforts have been:

• a new website for my photographic portfolio, still a work in progress, but I’m finding the Pixelrights platform to be very good so far.
• a new Twitter account for my photography (and not for moaning about the council etc…).

Take a look, let me know what you think – it’s always good to get some feedback. And Happy New Year!
