Unanticipated pleasures and connections are always the best.<br /><br />HuwHuwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346671593949866026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-1825112251018292002012-02-05T22:01:24.239+00:002012-02-05T22:01:24.239+00:00Huw,

It often stands on top of places that once held significance for me. For example, the land on which the building in these images stands was cleared by demolishing the row of houses which included the Day Nursery both of my children attended.<br /><br />I have become the equivalent of the old bloke who says, "I can remember when all this was fields"...<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-90568500310673969312012-02-05T21:52:37.501+00:002012-02-05T21:52:37.501+00:00It's a topic I hope someone's written a d...It's a topic I hope someone's written a dissertation on - I can imagine Barthes having great fun with it. But it's funny how such 'architect-approved' decisions have a direct influence on your picture taking.<br /><br />HuwHuwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346671593949866026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-81614053705271293782012-02-05T20:29:22.151+00:002012-02-05T20:29:22.151+00:00Huw,

New buildings are often accompanied by young trees and I wonder if, given the details of a tree, you could predict what style and age of building they were planted with. If so, it must be part of the aesthetic: saplings against the most modern buildings; mature trees against the appropriately more weathered ones.<br /><br />HuwHuwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346671593949866026noreply@blogger.com
