Now lost to us as it was painted over in 2016 to be replaced by a sign for Accountants Purcell & Co.

A local estate agent window with the wonderful neon light in the background. Photography is fun.
This business is on the corner and one side they advertise rental properties on the other propertise for sale. I avoided any pictures of homes with the asking price on as this is an atempt at street art not an advert for the agent. For the record we have bought three homes and sold two and always uesd an estate agent to help us. I wish Kings Group well and thank them for having such a cinematic window.
I had planned to start shooting more landscapes and sharing less "work", but then I had this place to shoot today. It is a holiday let and I was in before the cleaners, so this is my own efforts on that front too (don't look in the cupboards ;-) )
I decided to shoot the whole place twice. The first run through I followed the brief for photography from a high end holiday let company I work with on occassion, the second set was as per the "standard" brief for estate agents. This particular shot I just really liked though so thought I would share it a bit wider!
I’ve always found the way things degrade fascinating. I think its twofold. Firstly I just love the subtle hues and fine textures that dilapidating human structures have when they are poorly maintained. Nature takes its hold and chips slowly away until metal rusts and concrete crumbles.
Secondly I’m reassuringly humbled by the concept that nature has power beyond our human arrogance. ‘It is in charge’ and the greed obsessed economic systems that focus on the bottom line, cannot match its omnipresence. The pinstriped brigade can just crawl back under the slipper little rocks that they came from. Let their selfish greed stay away from me! Let their desire to concrete green fields stay in their tiny little heads, along way from me! Nature will destroy their cardboard and sticky back plastic excuses for modern living; let them be pushed through this pipe down to the sewer where they belong. They are in familiar company with the rats and discarded effluent.
Note: This is a sewerage pipe travelling over the river Wharfe under a little footbridge. Its truly beautiful around here (honestly), and there is this massive pipe full of Sxxt that unless you remember what it is, you kind of ignore. It’s funny that, the things you take for granted when you are around them long enough. Beautiful isn’t it (o:
Second note: This is something of a departure from my normal subject. I think the change in direction and mood of this shot, is due to my grumpy state of mind at the moment. I'm lying on my living room floor digging up old shots, whilst trying to take my mind away from the shooting pain travelling from my lower back and down my right leg. And to say the least I'm not very good company, so the anger is being channelled into something positive. (My distain of anything that is remotely associated with the destruction of nature)!
In need of some modernisation, it benefits from a rural location well served by transport with easy links to the A303. Set in several acres of peaceful countryside -would make an ideal family home. Viewing recommended.
Another view from the recent Village shoot. Shot with the window behind camera so mostly ambient, an on camera flash adds a little fill, bounced from ceiling.
The estate agents Knight Young & Co at 2, Royal Parade, Hanger Lane, Ealing, London, England, UK is being refurbished. Their old sign has been taken down to reveal that of a previous business: "FURNISHERS".

The London County And Westminster Bank Once Stood On This Corner These Days Its A Pizzeria....York Place Went South As Far As Dorset Street But Changed To Baker Street In 1920.....This Part Of Bickenhall Mansions 1905`
Shot in Portrait with the plan to crop to square. The challenge was to maintain visual integrity of the architecture in a narrow street. The property is approximately 100 years old and largely original. Like a time capsule. I love this sort of find!
Another long night... Don't frown, smile. I heard that It takes 65 muscles to frown but only 13 to make a smile.:-)

An estate agent, Caine Road, Hong Kong
Sign over door reads:-

Referred to as "The Tudor House" it is currently an Estate Agents office.
My 2012 – 366 project will be …. Life through a 50mm Lens. I shall be taking at least one picture per day through my Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens attached to my Nikon D7000. This will reflect what I see around me in everyday life …some will be obvious others will need a little imagination to interpret..I hope you enjoy them as much as I will enjoy taking them.
Some days there will be just one shot on other days there might be a few ! All photos are straight out of the camera - no photoshop or other software used ! I am going to push the limits of my camera to the extreme…using high ISO and low speeds, weird F stops and more..It’s going to be an interesting year!

An interior shoot for a holiday letting company. All ambient, the view from the window was poor so I shut the blinds. post in LR and PS
Curious character put onto a piece of wood in North Street, Bedminster, Bristol saying we only have one shot in life and must make it count. The business in the background, an estate agent, tells me that some people don't even get an opportunity for one shot!
Nice mustard yellow.
Not entirely sure what this building is. It looks like a letting agency on the outside, but it's called 'The Yellow House' which is also the name of a restaurant around the corner. Wasn't open when I was there.
Something about shapes and colours, natural versus man-made. I don’t know, I’m still looking for appropriate subjects just so that I can finish off what’s probably the last roll of Ektar that I’ll ever shoot, which I’ve already had on the go for more than a year now. Almost there!

Sometimes, when you've run out of paper but the Muse is still riding you like a seaside donkey there's nowt for it but to grab whatever is at hand and set to work. A newspaper advert for an estate agents was the selected canvas and a slightly sinister face in black and white was the preferred image. Don't ask me why because I really don't know. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If only I can find where I've put this then it may eventually makes it way to the Wheatpaste Department and then onto the street - unless someone demands it in their life. Which would be a bit odd. But stranger things have happened at sea. Or so they say.
Cheers
