Baby Zach
He was so well behaved, so patient up until the point when his sister gave his head a big over enthusiastic hug…more pics to follow.
Station Of The Skirt – Paintings by Jane Andrews
Today I went to visit Jane Andrews’ new body of work “Station of the Skirt” which is being shown at The Gallery at the OXO building on London’s South Bank.
In this series of paintings , executed over a 2 year period following her husband’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease, she consistently uses the skirt as her starting point.
The exhibition is showing at FROM THE 3RD TO 15TH mARCH 2010 – Free entry.

Tim Andrews
It was great to have the opportunity to have creative fun when taking pictures of Tim. He decided to start a project to have pictures taken of himself when he was diagnosed with having Parkinsons disease so it seemed appropriate to me to include a mirror in the set up of some of the shots to illustrate the idea of looking closely at ones self. Tim doesn’t take himself too seriously so I also wanted to convey a sense of humanity and humour, which is where the idea of holding a brain came in!
The Thames at night
A few night shots around Westminster and down by the Thames – http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/by_the_thames_at_night_2010
Essex University
When the snow fell heavily in Essex before Christmas, I wrapped myself up and took my camera and my very cold fingers over to Essex University to take a few shots of the snowy grounds late afternoon. It was bright but freezing and by the end of the afternoon (which admittedly included some slipping around and colourful language ) I had to abandon the trip due to my battery giving up.
The night is darkening round me
by Emily Jane Brontë
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
St Peters Church, Arlesford ( Ruin )
Yesterday I met up with some other Photographers to go and take some pictures of a local church ruin…I will post the other pics up on Pbase once it is back in action….
