About 2 years ago I set myself the goal of trying to double my monthly book sales through my website.
If I sell 1 more book this month (so in the next 2 hours) I’ll do it.

Chris Steel-Perkins, who died this week, and his images that defined an era.

Chris Steele-Perkins’ photos connected us with the humans behind the headlines
The Magnum photojournalist captured the Troubles, teddy boys and Thatcher, but it was one shot of a 1970s Wolverhampton dancehall that resonated loudly with me

Today I swam in this tarn near Penrith. Bloody freezing it was, but absolutely worth it.

What Happened Here, a photo series using expired film to document a former industrial site in my home town of Frome, Somerset, UK, 2017 - 2019.

Chair and factory window.

Book available! www.takeagander.co.uk
A tubular steel chair of the kind you might find in a works canteen, with green vinyl padded seat and back, has been placed against a graffiti'd pebbledash factory wall. There is a window in the wall above the chair which had been boarded up, but some of the board has been broken away so the chair is a step-up to access the open window. Strong sunlight from the left casts a shadow of the chair across the wall.

In the foreground are overgrown weeds and scrubland shrubs, beyond which in the distance can be seen the dilapidated factory roofs of low, light industrial buildings. Beyond them is a band of mature trees in full leaf. The sky is blue with wispy clouds.

1.67kg plums from our plum tree (obvs) with more to follow. These will make jam and breakfast compote.
A steel colander of Victoria plums sits on a steel kitchen work surface. In the background, from left, are a dark mortar and pestle, a salt pig, a plastic tray with an assortment of bottles and pepper grinders on it and to the right of that, a tin of paprika sitting on a colourful ceramic coaster and to the right of that an orange stoneware utensil pot with kitchen utensils in it.

Apologies for the long pause, lots going on here, however I'd like to continue sharing this work.

In a wooded area a large log lies on its side. A split from one end mimics a mouth and someone has painted an eye on it so it resembles some kind of fish or animal. Leaning against the log is a bright orange and blue B&M store bag for life and a tarpaulin is abandoned in the foreground. There is other litter strewn around and about the undergrowth.

Do listen to Observer Arts critic Laura Cummings whose bite-size episodes 'Speed of Light' is about early photographers and their influential work that's passed on much of our everyday visual culture.

Dilapidated service shed, a place where kids would hang out to chat, smoke or take refuge from the rain.

Book available! www.takeagander.co.uk
A small stone-built shed with a flat tar roof has a makeshift porch added using scrap sheet wood and planks. There is a curved wall leading from the side of the shed forming a small yard space which is littered with rubbish and more scrap wood and broken old chairs. More of the industrial site is visible beyond as the photo is taken from the top of the wall.

Colour photo taken on expired film, so the colours are shifted to green and quite washed out. The photo is taken at ground level and shows a ginger striped cat looking at the camera, its tail is up and with scrub foliage and disused low-level industrial buildings in the background.

Sometimes I shot colour too.

Kids built this rickety den over a culvert. Grungy genius.

Book available! www.takeagander.co.uk
Discarded materials and items are fashioned into an open-air den over the head of a small stream in amongst some trees and bushes. Old sheet materials such as wood and cardboard are used to make a rough floor space, upon which is a single office chair over which a partially wrecked promotional umbrella has been suspended from a branch. Other chairs and detritus are scattered about.

Someone coined the phrase, “the banality of evil.” Can we add the word “stupidity” too?

Black and white photo of three boys inside a derelict building. One is silhouetted in the foreground, you can see he's wearing a reversed baseball cap. The other two are just visible beyond him, in hoodies and jeans, looking at the ground. There is graffiti on the walls, windows are missing and ivy and other foliage is tumbling in from the right.
