This rather intoxicated gentleman, whom I chose not to photograph in full, was swaying gently whilst staring straight at a wall from about 6 inches away. I spied the beer can in his pocket and thought that would be my shot.
BETTE DAVIS MASQUE

Wandering around a small Fenland village we came across some scarecrows which had come first, second and third in the annual scarecrow competition. Well, don’t know about the birds but this one is really creepy.
THE TEARS OF EDDIE VEDDER
Image by Christine Renney
Although not a particular fan of Pearl Jam I have great respect for Eddie Vedder who seems to me to be a caring and honest man. His involvement with the case of the West Memphis Three, a vile and wicked miscarriage of justice, together with others who used their fame to fund and highlight the issues therein demonstrates how you can put fame to good use, unlike a gobby Irish man I can think of.
THE CHIPPIE

Really good fish and chips are hard to find but this Chippie in Holbeach was amazing as evidenced by these three young ladies tucking in with gusto.
Asphyxiation
If you do not know the work of this amazing artist, writer, poet, photographer then please check out his site(s). Magical, angry, sad, funny, self-deprecating, oh and did I mention angry?
WORDSMITHS X 4

FIRST BRADFORD LITERATURE FESTIVAL – Mark saw this was on and, although we only had couple of days, we went to Bradford and spent an hour or so in the company of four fine poets – left to right: John Siddique, Lemn Sissay, Jo Bell and Brian Patten. It was wonderful! Next year more days will be spent there.
THE SPACE BETWEEN

When in art class at school, our teacher had arranged a pile of chairs in the middle of the room and told us to ‘draw the space between’ and as I watched this couple with their child it came into my mind, taking me back many years.
MINIATURE SELFIE

SISTERS

Walking through Bradford we spied these two young girls playing in an urban wasteland, busily collecting things laying around and taking them up to the parapets. Alessandra is the foreground and Michaela sits, waiting, at the top of the steps. Children finding things to play with in the most arid places – their imagination is boundless.
