I was clearing out a box in the office, and a strip of passport-sized photos fell out, with one missing. Here is one of the remaining shots from this strip.

Apparently this is what I looked like, fifteen-plus years ago. I had no idea booth-photos were so indestructable. I think it’s because the booth was pre-digital. I subsequently found a few other strips, in the same box which were taken a handful of years later, in a booth that used a digital process; they’ve blurred, bled, and run quite noticeably

Since moving to Rochester a couple of weeks ago, I’m enjoying the commute into the city on the high speed train. Every morning we wait a minute or two at the perplexingly named Stratford International for a Eurostar to overtake us. Stratford is a weird conglomeration of pylons and glass astride a raw concrete gash. I like the way it looks.

Merry Christmas one and all! We decided to get away from it all this year, and are therefore in New York city. It is tremendously Christmassy.

Heading to Toronto tomorrow to visit with the Lyles, back to New York for New Year’s Eve (where we’ve a choice between two pre-booked parties to make – option a: Times Square, formal-ish dinner and comedy, option b: Tribeca, trendy club with cool bands playing). Back in the U.K. the day after.

Here are some of the photos I’ve taken, so far.

I’m organizing my photos to make use of some free prints on offer from photobox. Hence I’ve uploaded a selection of older shots that I’m mulling through. There may be some repeats from earlier posts.
