We passed this book shop a number of times in Havana. The Ché stencil makes the doorway, I think.

British Museum
Just an awesome building. I shot this in 2012. It is a combination of six images. I had to also do some photoshopping, which hopefully you can’t see. I would love to get back to have another go at this iconic image, but am pretty happy with this shot if I never get back.
Bullring, Birmingham
The much photographed Selfridges building in the Bullring in Birmingham.
Christchurch Cardboard Cathedral
Taken in Christchurch New Zealand in 2013, this the roof of the Cardboard Cathedral, constructed of cardboard tubes after the massive earthquake in 2011. Hoping that is survived the recent quakes.
Walkway, King’s Cross Station
This walkway has recently been opened in London’s King’s Cross station. The colours cycle and there is lots of photo ops for a tripod carrying photographer. I was on an evening out with friends and was just carrying my point and shoot.
Greek hotel
I stayed in a really beautiful hotel in Rhodes for a conference last week. This is the view from the restaurant on the top floor, looking across the Aegean to Turkey.
Heathrow, T2
When Terminal 2 was opened at Heathrow most people agreed it is a great improvement over T3 which is largely replaced. My main issue with T2 is that if you are flying from certain gates, you have to subterraneanly cross the runway – and therefore the time from the main terminal to the gate is 15 minutes or more. I took after taking the very long escalator down under the airport on my way to the Singapore Airlines lounge.
Doges Palace, Monochrome
I rather like the monochrome treatment of this shot. The clouds were forming quickly and the wind was moving them along but here they seem to add to the composition.
Doges Palace, Venice
I was fully ready to be unimpressed with the Doges Palace. Indeed, anywhere where there are lots of tourists, and queues, I tend to get a bit sniffy. I am a traveller, not a tourist! And all that BS.
Well although we got to the Palace early in the morning, and for quite a while felt like we were, if not the only people there, in a pretty exclusive tour. We had the headphones to get the info on the rooms we were passing through and what they were used for. But in the end, I was just blown away with the amazing ceilings, the paintings, the reflections.
If you go to Venice, I recommend you get up early one morning and take the tour.
Casa Blu, Burano
The island of Burano is an assault on a photographer’s sight. There is too much to shot, too many colours, too much to capture, too many people in the shots, too much of everything. Instead, I tried to capture shop windows, and more details. I liked how this store cut down colours to just two and went for cool rather than the hot pinks and reds and greens in the rest of the town.
