This is where I like to share my photography, my monthly newsletters, and the creative pursuits of others that inspire and excite me. But also a place to share humour and ideas, outrage and ecstasy at what happens here in my world and out there in everyone else's.

Pictures From the Broken Road #32

Just spent an enjoyable afternoon listening to Chris Killip at The Photographers Gallery talking about his photography. If you don’t know his work, well you should. It is everything that photography needs to be. There must have been at least 100 images on show and not a duff one amongst them. And yet he’s hardly known in the UK. His classic book ‘In Flagrante’ published in 1988 illustrates a place foreign to me, yet I grew up only 200 miles from it.

He has been selected for this years Deutsche Borse Prize. His commitment to his craft does not need to be endorsed by winning, but if it puts him on the map, then all the better. I saw this graffiti on the way to the gallery. My friend said it looks like me.

The use of abandoned boats as sheds is an East Coast of England tradition. These upturned boatsheds are found at the harbour on Lindisfarne, Northumberland, are still used by local fishermen.


The boat sheds at the castle first appeared when Edwin Lutyens restored Lindisfarne castle for Edward Hudson at the turn of the last century.
The Spanish architect Enric Miralles used Lutyens’ upturned herring busses as an inspiration for his design of the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh.
