May 8.A Smell You Adore.Like about 90% of other people following these prompts I’ve gone with Coffee.Bur Specifically the smell of coffee that hits you when the sealed Jar you keep it in is popped open and the aroma assaults your senses, making you anticipate the first brew of the day all the more.Upped the contrast a wee bit and removed the colour, apart from that this is as shot. Kept the shutter open with the overhead light on full blast to overexpose about 10 seconds before darkening the room for the remaining 15. I think. I was very drunk at the time. — at Twydall, Gillingham.

May 2.Skyline. There’s a line there where the sky meets the field of the Jonses. (Could be the fields of the Smiths, mind. Or the Nephilim. I’m not really sure) That’s a good enough skyline. Not too wibbily wobbly like them City wans. Sure they do be up and down all over the place and as for New York! Sure why would you be wanting to build things that look like they’re about to burst the sky? It does that frequently enough of its own accord and haven’t we enough rain in any case? — in Newhaven, East Sussex.

April 30.Something that makes you sad…Feckin Dandilions. In my lawn. The cheek of them. I cant think of anything that makes me sad that I can photograph. I cant take a pic of Sheryl Cole and talk about how she makes me sad because she represents a triumph of ambition and superficial malleable good looks over talent, depth, and genuine artistic creativity. But only ‘cos she doesn’t live in Medway. Otherwise I would.Here’s a happy fly on a Dandelion instead.
