underground alphabet

This is the legendary typeface of the London Underground (which you can buy) was designed in 1916, I hope it lasts well past it's 2016 centenary. Thank you Edward Johnston.

You can fave this too!

I've built a wordpress plugin that uses the API from photo sharing sites to share when people fave my photos on them within this site.

To show up on the left - simply fave the photo at one of the below sites.

In the future I look forward to making it more available for other wordpess users to benefit from.

And here's to another 100 years after that centenary. Design classic.

Camera Information

This information comes from the Camera and is stored in the EXIF data; occasionally it can get corrupted so if you notice anything odd - please let me know!

My Gear

It's not all about the camera. Some of my favourite shots were taken with a 4MP point and shoot camera; and I've been lucky enough to have these photos sold. That said sometimes your gear limits you. Even the gear I used for the shot is not perfect - you're mileage may vary!

Nearby Photos

When I remember - I GeoTag my images - which you can read about in my workflow. It looks like you're in luck!
