I've been posting photos over at Tumblr recently on a project called Sydenham Squared.
These are all photos made in my community here in south east London over the last several years. I used to have a blog called SydenhamShots where I posted material shot locally but it fizzled out as I had no idea where it was going and the audience was tiny. However, a designer that lives here who is involved in an urban re-generation project contacted me hoping that I would be interested in contributing square format photos for a mural. This immediately gave me a peg for my Sydenham material.
So after supplying some images I started the Tumblr blog to post images as I go along and to feature re-formatted archive photos.
The plan now is to exhibit the material locally soon. I will also make a small number of signed books for local collectors and may consider publishing a Blurb book or perhaps get pages printed by a local lithographer that I can bind myself. Decisions remain to be made on this.
For the time being, here are a few images to whet the appetite. More can be seen at SYDENHAM SQUARED.

I made two copies of Sydenham Squared. Kept one, sold the other. Well, I actually swapped it for a painting from a local artist I admire. So in effect my little book acted as currency to purchase the art of another which I in turn used to give as a gift to my wife.
I will make more should there be demand. But not yet. I have other things to be getting on with for the moment. A new folio, for instance, for 2013.
More posts soon.

I closed down the tumblr blog as I was feeling a little thinly spread. I would rather just keep one blog - this one. Richard Baker and I are also putting the UK STREET COLLECTIVE blog on hold for a while. As Richard said, collectives are so 2011. Justin pulled out for family reasons and I am too busy trying to rebuild my career after a very long sabbatical. The blog will remain in place however, should our plans change down the road.
