Walthamstow
The diesel engined VW splutters as we turn off the Forest Road into the grounds of Walthamstow Town Hall. This place has no memory for me, yet I have evidence to say I was born just down the road. A photograph will remind me to write something.

Screenscene
In this former Museum of the Moving Image the British Film Institute have created a new place to play. But, in this day of portable screens and anytime, anywhere DIY culture, how does making films to show on a big screen, at a precise time in a particular place, relate to the networked and interactive nature of ...

Majika
The nomads met last Thursday and Stewart brought in a stupendously old digital camera, a Sony Mavica, from the late 90s.
This digital camera uses (1MB) floppy discs to store the images. Now, 10 years later, we use 1GD memory cards (One thousand floppy discs) to store our images

Photocubism
Last week I had a little bit of a project set by the nomads to make some 'altered art'. I decided to make a 3D photograph.The process got me thinking and reading about cubism, superstring theory and branes, which left me feeling wiser but without anything beyond what you see here.

Lines
Tuesday afternoon and we're hunting for lines in Marylebone. We walk across the busy Marylebone Road, which, when built in 1756, was a London bypass; through Marylebone Station, where the Beatles filmed some scenes for A Hard Day's Night in 1964; and back past the Landmark hotel, built in 1899

Another Take
'The Spirit and the Letter' portrays 18th-century writer and social reformer Mary Wollstonecraft as a ghost whose legacy remains unsettled. That's the blurb on this piece by Matthew Buckingham in the Camden Arts Centre - 'where ideas about contemporary art are made visible.'

Last Days
The Fambridge Road bungalow where Claire used to live, will initially be rented out and then sold to pay for her care home fees. We had a House Contents sale here last Saturday (5th May) and managed to sell a few bit and pieces. But the most interesting part was meeting people from Maldon, ...

Becoming Old
The TV room is a place were many care home residents spend their time.
Last month (17 April) Claire, Jude's mum, moved into a care home. She had been in hospital, in her home town of Maldon, for many weeks and had become too frail to look after herself. Claire coped well with the move ...

Jericho
These twin towers offer some containers for the cultural symbols drifting around our memories. They could have been entitled; 'Decline and Fall'; or 'Victory & Death'; or 'What is it to be human?'; or even 'You'll never know why you are here'. But to help steer the thinking process Anselm Kiefer, the 61 year old ...

Shapes
A breakfast of shapes makes our day.
We board the train for Chelmsford for another (weekly) trip on our way to Maldon. But it's different today. We're offered half-price breakfast. I'm hungry and tired after another bad night of neighbour noise and would love to have a 'treat' ...

Meaning
What we see in a photograph depends on what knowledge we want to bring to it. In this sense the photograph is a vehicle for what the viewer/reader knows, feels and believes.
