Hotel Entrance, New York City (near 42nd Street)
West Bank Loyalist Housing Area, Londonderry/Derry
While I was in Derry, I had an opportunity to walk around and photograph some of the parts of the city that remain visually strident. My memories of the troubles, as reported to me in the UK when they were at their peak came from this city, and I was staggered at how small the place is. Here, an enclave of loyalist supporters live within a mainly republican area. The arriving storm in the sky added a certain doggedness to the scene.

Note:I have received a correction from #UK Justice Forum. They have informed me that my description was incorrect. They say ‘you are wrong in your description. It is called the Fountain Estate and it is Protestant - not entirely Loyalist’.
Dancing Girls, Derry/Londonderry
I photographed these two last year for a magazine, but lost my notes that contained their names. So, I apologise to them and hope that the room they are seen in here is now a wonderful space for them to practice their craft.

Arabian Stallion.
I photographed this extremely nervous and highly strung thoroughbred in Bahrain. In my mind was a Stubbs painting at the National Gallery. That sidelong glance is the key.

Wild and windy day in St Ives. A view from a window at Tate St Ives where I had just looked at a William Scott retrospective, which I quite liked, and a Peter Fraser retrospective, which I failed to understand.
Jaguarman
This is a little tenuous, but I heard a band on the radio this morning called ‘Jaguar Ma’ and it put me in mind of Arthur, who I photographed at a tattoo festival in Manchester a while ago. He and his partner have a tattoo studio in Blackpool called Jaguar Skin. The yellow is permanent.
