Photo most days - 2009.

This was a project of mine to try and shoot one photograph each day during 2009. It wasn't always possible to take a photo of the day, sometimes there was just nothing worth taking, and I felt it was better not to take anything than take a below average photograph for the sake of it. My daily routine and repetitive commute to work, coupled with early winter darkness sometimes made an original picture impossible. It was an enjoyable exercise for the most part and I used 5 different camera's, from a compact digital to a medium format film camera, along with various types of film. I may run a project again in say 5 years time, but my daily pattern would need to have altered enough to allow original pictures.

February 12th Charles Darwin's 200th birthday; I thought a photograph of him on a £10 note would be most fitting. Note the distinct lack of "In god we trust".

March 4th Sydney central train station, en route to Kingsford Smith airport, departing for Hong Kong, a quick G9 snapshot.

March 29th The 154th Oxford Vs. Cambridge boat race on the Thames, watched this year from the comfort of a sofa. I was in the desert during Des Sables for last years race.

March 31st Standby for the protestors. Scaffolds and boarding up of shops begins in the city of London ahead of tomorrows G20 summit.	April 1st Ill informed protestors descend on the City of London to coincide with the G20 conference. Banners such as 'Make money history' sum up the average IQ. (Click to see full page)	April 2nd The Bank of England being cleaned of graffiti after yesterdays protests, which were very calm in the end, a few smashed windows and some displaced traffic cones.	April 4th A tunnel on the London Underground, early on a Saturday morning. In some ways it looks very space age.

April 6th A space invader on Bishopsgate next to a newsagent. Space invader mosaics can be found hidden all over London streets and many other cities, and are fun to hunt down.	April 8th Aircraft on the pan at Chicago O'Hare international airport; taken on my way to visit friends in Oregon for Easter.	April 9th A waterfall near Cape Horn, Washington not far from the city of Portland.	April 10th A small industrial estate and mountains in the backdrop on an early evening run, again near Portland Oregon.

April 19th Low tide on the Thames with the London Wetlands centre in the background; taken on a training run with my G9 wedged into my camelbak.

April 20th Rowers at sunset on the Thames, taken during a marathon training run from Hammersmith bridge. I was very pleased to grab this shot in just 10 seconds, one of my favourite PMD shots for a couple of weeks.	April 22nd Labour Chancellor, Alistair Darling delivers the 2009 budget, and announces that he'll double the UK national debt and borrow more than every other UK government combined since the Bank of England was founded 300 years ago.	April 23rd St George's Day; Morris Men perform their fantastic traditional dance on Liverpool St in the City. Its a very rare sight in central London, and excitingly my second Morris dancing PMD entry this year (see Jan 1st).	April 25th ANZAC day to commemorate the servicemen who died at Gallipoli in 1915 and other conflicts since then. The photo depicts a popular Aussie pub in Fulham, I liked the massive flag outside and thought it unusual a scene.

April 30th Sunset over Port Isaac Harbour, I was enjoying a meal at the fantastic Harbour Restaurant and saw the sun going down through the window and dashed out to take a shot, half a second exposure using a tripod.	May 1st Mayday celebrations in Padstow, Cornwall. My mate Patrick and I took the ferry from Rock and watched the Oss and associated folk singing and dancing, fantastic to see such an old fashioned tradition. (Full page soon).	May 2nd Port Isaac harbour, Cornwall, taken using Velvia film and a fisheye lens.	May 4th A view of Surrey from Richmond Park on bank holiday Monday. Taken quickly whilst out marathon training.

May 6th A view from Bishopsgate of Lloyds of London. A construction site is currently in front of it, and I like the wrecking ball / hoist with the George Cross, very English, very Sun reader, I love it.	May 8th The next big thing, Heron Tower in the city of London under construction on Bishopsgate, due to be just shy of 200m tall.	May 9th Morris Men near Trafalgar Square, I went to watch about 5 different Morris groups performing next to St Martin-in-the-fields on my way home from work, great fun.	May 10th Red Deer in Richmond Park only several metre's away. Taken during a 2hr marathon training run, on which I ran out of energy and felt awful.

May 11th An experiment of mine using Redscale film, which is known as a Lo Fi photographic trick / technique. By flipping film around in the camera so that light passes through the wrong way, the colours are shifted to Yellow / Red / Orange.	May 12th More Redscale film, of a stairwell in the Barbican centre. I pushed the film to +1 in the camera which increased the Yellow effect. Note that photoshop editing was not used in either of these 2 redscale images and the effect is natural.	May 14th The Mansion House, I'm surprised that I've not used it as a PMD shot already; it's become increasingly hard to take an original photograph each day.	May 15th The old LIFFE trading building on Cannon Street, a neat piece of architecture.

May 16th Maddie and Lucy in the Bluebell woods. My friend Patrick's little girl is very photogenic, and has known me all her life so is easy, and a real pleasure to take photographs of.	May 18th An original letter-box inscribed with 'VR' Victoria Rex after Her Majesty Queen Victoria. I like to think how very old it is, and the number of events that have taken place since this letterbox was made.	May 20th The iconic 1960's BT tower, easily recognisable on the London skyline, taken early evening near Oxford Street.	May 21st My mate Mark took me up in a light aircraft, a tiny two seater Piper Cub. Flying from near Maidenhead, we were up for about 50 minutes over Reading and former US airbase Greenham Common. I went green with air-sickness wedged in the back without a horizon, but used B&W film and my fisheye lens to capture the action.

May 22nd Welcome to the South! I arrived in Charleston, South Carolina for a party and noticed this sign on the entrance to the airport terminal building, a very alien concept.	May 23rd A flagstone in the garden representing the shape of South Carolina, showing the symbols of the state flag; a crescent moon and a palm tree, or more correctly a Sabal palmetto. The state flag is blue and shows those two symbols, following a design which copied uniforms by a Colonel William Moultrie in 1775, during the war of independence against us Brit's.	May 24th Pelicans flying in formation over houses on the South Carolina coast. I was sitting at my mate Will's parents house and all day large brown pelicans would skim the rooftops.	May 25th An average enough looking scene, but pictured is 'The Battery' in Charleston, South Carolina. This is where the American Civil War began with shots landing on these houses (wiki). Quite exciting to visit a historically poignant place.

May 26th A drainpipe spilling out the sides at Clapham Junction train station. I arrived back from South Carolina to a pouring wet morning.	May 27th A Ghostbike near Clerkenwell, I've seen it over the last couple of weeks and wonder if it's there as a memorial for someone who was runover? I found the ghost bike website but no information.	May 28th For the best part of the past 5 years Earls court station has been a dark, dingy scaffold enclosed industrial scene. Last month they started to take down the hoarding's, and my daily commute has become that bit brighter.	May 29th High tide on the Thames looking towards Barnes. It's hard to believe that this is taken in central London, and I've not enhanced the colours at all. Taken quickly during a training run.

May 31st Chelsea, Chelsea! Yesterday's FA Cup final was won by Chelsea who's football ground is local to my home, and I saw hundreds of triumphant supporters wandering the streets waving flags and being loud. Today my cousin Fergus, to the dismay of his brother Fred was proudly wearing his team shirt.	June 2nd James Henry Greathead (wiki) centre of the photo, sandwiched between Lloyds of London in the background and the Royal Exchange on the left. There's a 2m window in which one can take this shot, whilst crossing the road next to the Mansion House, and I've been meaning to take it for a while.	June 3rd Richmond road bridge at sunset. 1/3 second exposure taken whilst holding my breath to try and catch a steady shot.	June 4th An abstract view of the iconic 'Gherkin' building looking straight up.

June 5th Putney bridge at low tide, taken early evening. Not the most pleasing colours and a flat, unexciting sky.	June 9th Tube train charging into Cannon Street; a strike begins on the underground this evening at 7pm which led to an exodus from the city before it shuts down.	June 10th Mike Patton of 'Faith No More' performing live at the Brixton Academy. I was thrilled to see them live in their first gig in 11 years! I thought that I'd never get to see them play and it was an excellent Gig and a privilege to be there.	June 11th Waterloo Bridge in the late afternoon, I hurriedly took this photograph whilst walking over Embankment footbridge to the South Bank centre, to watch Ray Davies of the Kinks perform his 1967 hit, 'Waterloo Sunset' It was great to see live.

June 12th The main stage at Download music festival in Derbyshire, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Faith No More and other bands were performing live.	June 15th The setting sun low in the sky, next to a block of flats in Fulham.	June 16th The 'Monument' to the great fire of London of 1666 (wiki) which started within 100m of the obelisk. A very simple image but I loved the morning moon and the crystal blue sky.	June 17th A 'Hello Kitty' sticker on a moped, I spied it whilst walking home with a couple of bags of shopping, and set them down to take the shot. It reminded me of my friend Maya who loves everything Hello Kitty.

June 18th St Paul's Cathedral and the worlds second largest Dome. I found out whilst making this page, that the Great fire of London only took place 11 years before the first stone of the cathedral was laid (wiki), and it managed to make it through the Nazi Blitz.	June 20th Mansion House tube in the city on a Saturday; depressing to be in the deserted financial district, after a hard days work on a nice summers day.	June 21st A vintage looking Brighton Pier (formerly known as the Palace Pier) looking fantastic on a summers day. Taken using Fuji Neopan B&W film. This image is for sale as a limited edition print, visit my artshop.	June 22nd The first day of the Wimbledon Tennis championships; I went down to watch after work and managed to queue up and get inside the ground in just 30 minutes and for £14 after 6pm. This photograph pictures Alize Cornet (wiki) from France.

June 24th 'I've queued in the rain for Wimbledon 2009' Sticker posted on the district line tube, I was given a similar sticker after visiting on Monday but mine made no mention of rain and featured a strawberry.	June 25th Street Piano's project, as part of the City of London festival 2009. I've seen about 4 of them dotted around public places in the city over the past few days. This chap was playing masterfully opposite the Bank of England at around 6pm, with the normal street bustle going on around him. What a joy to have the city in this form, rather than that of April 1st (see above).	June 26th Michael Jackson dies, and the every billboard and television seemed to display the news. I actually heard about his death late on the evening before on my radio. (Carelessly my reflection is in the photograph).	June 27th The witches hat spire of 'All Saints Church', taken from Regent's Street. Hailed as a key Gothic Revival masterpiece by 19th Century architect, William Butterfield (wiki).

June 29th A city of London Dragon, looking down onto Smithfield's meat market. Smithfield's has a great deal of history and the Scotsman William Wallace of Braveheart fame, was executed here. In the 1800's it was a notoriously dangerous part of London (wiki).	June 30th HMS Belfast moored on the Thames, taken early morning. It's always nice to see her sat there, and is a proud looking ship in 1940's camouflage. (wiki).	July 1st (Westminster Morris Men) Awaiting film...	July 2nd Photograph of the stage for Blur, live in Hyde Park. Their first gig in around 6 years and they put on a 2 and a quarter hour set playing all their most popular songs.

July 4th Buzz Aldrin (wiki), live at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank. He may have been second down the ladder onto the surface, but as far as I'm concerned he was sat right next to Neil Armstrong when the Lunar Module touched down. Quite amazing to see him in person and hear his stories.	July 5th 'We came in Peace for all Sandkind' Almost 40 years since the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, and the evening after I saw Buzz Aldrin give a speech. I saw this sand mural on the Thames South Bank at low tide.	July 6th HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge (wiki) taken whilst crossing London Bridge. She looks especially moody on this dull, damp and humid morning.	July 8th This is one of my favourite signs in London: 'Her majesty's palace and fortress' 'The Tower of London' I think it's fantastic and I love that the central white tower, has stood for almost a thousand years (wiki).

July 9th A grim 1960's tower block on the Clem Atlee estate in Fulham. I was once pelted with eggs from the higher up floors by kids on a dark winters evening.	July 11th Where is this guy going with this Sceptre at 9am on a Saturday morning, in a very quiet city of London? I saw only workmen and 'The King of what?' on Threadneedle street, quite eccentric.	July 13th Earls Court street view. I like the old style mini in the foreground, and the contrast between old terraced houses and the futuristic Empress State Building (wiki) in the background.	July 14th North End Road Fulham, AKA Little Mogadishu; an astounding percentage of people seem to speak no English, and Arabic seems to be the prevailing language. I would suggest that most don't have a valid visa to be here either. I won't miss living nearby when I leave the area.

July 16th Brick Lane with signage in English and Indian (Urdu?). A fantastic destination for a British style curry; it's always exciting to eat on Brick lane.	July 18th Vulcan Bomber XH558 at RAF Fairford. This iconic British aircraft was the mainstay of Britain's V-force Nuclear deterrent from the 1950's to the early 1980's, I'd never seen one in real life and was thrilled to see her (wiki). (Support her here).	July 20th A pub in Clerkenwell that I often walk past, I noticed on this particular day that it was a neat looking building and was probably worth a PMD shot.	July 23rd Another image of the 'Gherkin' for my PMD blog, this time taken with my back to Lloyds of London. The dark effect around the building is a result of applying two graduated filters in post processing. Hi-tech sorcery, but rather fun looking I think.

July 24th The Old Bailey, the highest criminal court in the land (wiki) with Lady Justice topping off the dome.	July 26th A 'Titan arum' about to flower its enourmous un branched flower at Kew Gardens in London. Apparently it only flowers once every several years or so, and its the largest specimen they've ever grown (wiki).	July 29th Commuter trains at London Waterloo station; now a part of my daily trek into the city. Note the overcast sky through the roof, a feature of this years summer.	July 30th A Skater jumping over a crate on the South Bank, taken whilst trialling my new camera lens. Skaters and BMX riders have a place to mess about right on the thames and a crowd is permanently gathered round and is not nearly as salubrious as it looks.

August 1st A man sat aloft the 4th Plinth at Trafalgar Square as part of Antony Gormley's 'One & Other' live art piece. He wasn't doing much of interest, and took a short stroll around then sat back down into a deck chair. He did have quite a crowd though. (official website)	August 2nd Fire buckets hanging above the quarterdeck on HMS Victory, the Royal Navy's flagship at the battle of Trafalgar, arguably the most decisive battle in the history of the British Empire. It was fantastic to be aboad the original ship in all her wonder. A plaque marks the spot a few metres away where Nelson indeed, did his duty. (wiki)	August 4th Inside Ronnie Scotts jazz club in Soho, the photo depicts Michael Garrick and his quartet. I won a place to be the house photographer for the night, as part of Ronny Scotts (wiki) 50th birthday celebrations. It was a real priviledge especially as photography is normally banned and hundreds of people applied for the opportunity. Full page here.	August 8th Pumps lined up at the annual Great British Beer Festival in London's Earl's Court exhibition centre. Hundreds of real Ale's are on offer and I always try to make it. My photography was not exactly inspirational during it, and this was as good as I could manage.

August 11th Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder onstage live at the Shepherds Bush Empire joined by Rolling Stones Guitarist Ronnie Wood. Only 2,000 tickets were sold for the concert and I was incredibly lucky to have got hold of a pair for face value.	August 14th View of Bank and the City of London from the rooftop terrace bar of Coq d'argent.	August 17th St Pauls, The Millenium Bridge and the City, taken near to the Founders Arms pub, where I've met many friends for a drink and enjoyed the view of London town.	August 18th The O2 venue in North Greenwich, taken after seeing Pearl Jam live in concert; it was good but I was abut 400m from the stage and it couldn't compete with the intimite setting of Shepherds Bush Empire, great sound system in there though.

August 19th Leadenhall covered market (wiki) in the City of London. Taken quickly during my lunch break.	August 27th The Commando memorial at Spean Bridge near Fort William (wiki), I passed it on my drive to the Isle of Skye and stopped for 15 minutes. There was a grim and upsetting array of young British mens names.	August 28th The Talisker Whiskey distillery (wiki) at Carbost on the Isle of Skye. The Cullin mountains are clearly visible to the centre left of the photograph. I've been to Talisker bay many times as a child but this was the first time I was old enough to buy the Whiskey.	August 29th A juvenile Sea Eagle (wiki) clasping a Makerel in its Talons caught in Portree Bay, Isle of Skye.

August 30th The Forth Rail Bridge (wiki) taken from Queensferry jetty. The story goes that it's always being painted and by the time they reach one end they have to start again, not sure if it's true, will have to read the wiki.	September 19th The North-West corner of Leicester Square in London, commemorating 700 years of Confederation Helvetia, more commonly known as Switzerland (wiki). I have a fond affiliation to Switzerland having lived, worked and made friends from there.	September 21st An exit to the street at Bank underground station, with City of London Dragons (wiki).	September 25th An unexpected scene at the London Tattoo convention, a smart looking lady with a sleeve of tattoo's quietly reads a broadsheet newspaper, whilst behind, a man is recieving anoter tattoo. (Full gallery).

September 31st Christ Church on Commercial Street (wiki) near to Spitalfields Market. Taken using Ilford FP125 B&W film, trailling a Mamiya 645 Medium Format camera with a mate from work.	October 2nd Mayor of London, Boris Johnson (wiki) at the prize giving for London Schools and the Black Child awards, held in the Houses of Parliament; for which I was one of two official photographers.	October 3rd Men fishing off Croyde Beach (wiki) near to Baggy Point. Heavy swells and messy waves made for difficult surfing conditions at this popular surf break.	October 4th Woolacombe Beach (wiki) at low tide, despite the cold looking autumnal appearance, the water was a warm 16°C and only required a thin wetsuit for surfing.

October 8th My second photograph this year of the 'Monument' to the great fire of London of 1666 (wiki). This time though I climbed to the top and shot through the grilles panoramic shots of London with a friend from work. Full gallery page.	October 15th Waterloo Sunset, taken with my Mamiya 645 Medium Format camera and using Fuji Velvia 100f Film.	October 18th An autumnal sunset scene taken from Boxhill near Dorking, I traipsed all the way up in hope of a colourful sunset. This rather reminds me of something that Constable (wiki) would have painted, especially with the bonfire.	October 23rd The Pagan monoliths of Stonehenge (wiki), taken with my new Mamiya 645 Medium Format camera and using Fuji Velvia 100f Film. I had a rushed 30minutes to take photographs on my way to Somerset and am chuffed that at least one of my shots worked out.

October 24th Pumpkins for sale at a Somerset orchard.	November 8th Remembrance Sunday (wiki) and local veterans parade in my town centre, and that of almost every town and city in Great Britain. Seven British servicemen have been killed in the last week alone in Afghanistan.	November 10th The Guildhall (wiki) in the City of London, on a cold and drizzling November day, the sort for which England's weather gets a bad rap from tourists for.	November 12th War memorial with just laid wreaths opposite the bank of England.

November 14th The West stand of Twickenham Rugby Stadium (wiki), taken on the way in to watch England Vs. Argentina.	November 15th A gloomy street scene in Ealing's (wiki) heritage district at dusk. The council recently changed all the street lights to old fashioned ones which really adds a lot of character.	November 18th The bowling green covered in leaves in Finsbury Circus (wiki), City of London.	November 19th Hardwoods strewn around Trafalgar square to highlight illegal deforestation (BBC Article). Taken using Kodak Ektar film on my Medium Format Mamiya early morning.

Taken using a waistlevel viewfinder on my Medium format Mamiya so as not to draw attention that I'm taking a photograph.	November 26th Skunk Anansie's (wiki) Deborah Dyer AKA Skin, crowd surfs in Brixton Academy, in their first gig in London in 8 years.	December 1st The South Bank (wiki) with St Paul's in the backdrop, taken using Ilford HP5 grainy black and white film on an old fashioned manual 35mm Nikon camera lent to me by a friend.	December 2nd Street Art in East London's Shoreditch (wiki) taken one Lunchtime, again using Ilford HP5 grainy black and white film.

December 3rd Christmas preparations begin at the Tower of London (wiki). For hundreds of years this was the most feared place in the realm, the irony of seeing Christmas decorations going up did amuse me.	December 4th Chess boxing (wiki) in North London. I was fortunate enough to get a press pass to cover this event, for a full gallery of pictures click here.	December 5th The new London Olympic stadium (wiki) still under construction in Hackney, East London taken early morning.	December 9th A shop in Aldgate (wiki), just a few minutes walk from one of the most important financial districts in the world, and the decay is plainly evident.

December 17th A biting cold wind and winter snow made for a cold late night walk home from the station.	December 18th London is subjected to a light dusting of snow overnight, I was rather hoping for exciting snow scsene's apparent elsewhere in the country, but this un-dramatic black cab with a snow covered roof is all I could find.	December 19th Wintery landscape scene in Whitchurch (wiki), Hampshire.	December 20th A thatched outbuilding at sunset still covered in snow in the town of Whitchurch (wiki), Hampshire.

December 22nd The famed department store, Selfridges, on London's Oxford Street (wiki) with the Christmas shopping scrum out of shot, as I went to buy some last minute presents.

About 12ft up it's hard to see from street level, but if you look out for them, there are plenty around London (project homepage).	December 24th Christmas Eve and my sister fashions a festive hat.	December 25th Brandy alight on a Christmas pudding.
