Great afternoon Sunday at #thetoweroflondon, the 30,000 ceramic #poppies on display glistened in the sunshine. The display titled “The Tower Remembers” of course marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day..

Just finished printing this smashing A1 size photograph of Corbridge Crescent in Hackney from my East End series. The next step is cutting a mount and then framing it, which we do all in my Wanstead gallery. It’s then off to hang in a lovely house in Hackney.

First of all, please excuse this very shaky video. Very sad to hear of the passing of Alan Yentob. I photographed him in his West London home when he was controller of the BBC. I felt his strength though was his work and interviews for ‘Imagine’ , they were superb.

I have pictures published worldwide in magazines, I also sell my photographs from my gallery. Sadly I rarely see a picture published, likewise with Gallery sales I rarely see a photograph hanging in someone’s home. So great to see this one in situ on the wall of the new owners.

Whatever happened to the last family born at Wanstead House? Find out via my @wansteadfringe talk at #Wanstead Cricket Club on Tuesday 16th September 7-30pm wansteadfringe.org/event/the-unto…

I can’t think why I was trying so hard to smile as I was on my way to the operating theatre for six hours of open heart surgery, it was a big success I’m delighted to say, massive thank you to #stbartshospital who were brilliant. Back in the Gallery from Thursday the 4th…

As necessary as it was I’m not very good at taking it easy ,even, at home when recouperating after the operation. So it was a wonderful treat when family to whisked me off to lovely #finchingfield in Essex for a break, ice cream and sunshine what more can you ask…

So good to reopen the gallery and get back to working with all the pictures after the heart recovery period. As you can see from the picture with the ladder etc we’re having a little clear out and rearranging things but most importantly back in business.

Working my way through hundred of pictures for an upcoming project later in the year. It’s fascinating looking back on your work, everyone should do it from time to time, pictures that you were pleased with at the time now seem less so and of course the reverse.

Bethnal Green, quiet evening, just people going about their own business, junction of Roman Road & Cambridge Heath Road. A wonderful addition to my next project..

A Geiger in Brick Lane perfect any time of the day but especially good late at night on the way home. Love moody black and white pictures at night.

Whitechapel Road on a very rainy night, the shopping goes on however. I’m sure there was a child’s nursery rhyme ’rain, rain, go away come again another day’, there doesn’t seem much chance of it going anywhere at the moment…. #rainydays #towerhamlets #blackandwhitephotograph

I do love A2 prints, this one, mounted and framed, is off to a new home in #Wales. Modern pubs don’t seem to get ‘steamed up windows’ anymore however I found the wonderful ’Globe’ pub in Globe Road, #bethnalgreen just perfect, it makes the interior so inviting..

One of the benefits of living near Epping Forest is when the sun shines, as it did today, it’s easy to have a wonderful stroll around a lake or pond….could this be the start of summer ?

We had a fantastic night last Thursday at a fundraising dinner and quiz held at The Cuckfield, Wanstead to raise funds for the Wanstead War Memorial Restoration Project. 100 local Wanstead residents joined together to raise over £2,000 on the night.

Sad to see this particular photograph go but we are a Gallery so pictures do come and go. This particular one will be missed, so many people admire it when they pop in. It’s a limited edition photograph part of the Spitalfields series that did, it’s now off to a new home.

...And the photogenic cat has arrived safely in its new home and is looking smashing on the wall! It's not often I get to see pictures published or limited editions hanging on the buyers wall, it's lovely and encouraging to see.

We have a small collection of cameras on display at the Gallery, we started with one or two but now we seem to have become a home for stray cameras…

Beautiful earlyish morning light coming through the blinds this morning…..could this be a hint for summer ? #wanstead #summer #eastlondon

Went for a glorious ride on a Thames Clipper. The western end of the journey was sunshine, however coming east things changed…I came across this iPhone picture I had forgotten about, the gloom and cold over The House of Parliament just about sums up world politics at the moment.
