I'm fascinated by discarded cans and bottles. I have been taking images of them for the past 8 years and still find new sorts of bottles and some of them are in some really weird places!

For the past few years my husband has had an Allotment but sadly has just given it up! He is so busy at work and has also bought a bike...so not enough time for the allotment. I think he is correct because it had become a chore instead of a pleasure. They are keeping him on the waiting list so that when he retires he can have an allotment again! The whole time he had the allotment l kept an image diary of his plot. I have decided to make it into a book for him Here are few of the images will be included.

Smoking Images! I have been talking to many people about how they are managing with the Ban on Smoking in pubs, shops etc. As a none smoker l am very pleased to be able to eat and drinks with out being upset by the smoke BUT l hate the way we are told by the Government you can't do something!
The next few images are from a project l started about a year ago, when l knew this law was about to be enforced.

CCTV project. "Without permission". I have had a lot of emails asking me to explain this project in more detail. Here goes. The average Londoner is caught on CCTV cameras on average 100 times a day! This made me wonder if people realise that this is happening? so l decided to set up a camera on a tripod and see how close l could get to people(only taking images of people who loked at me) before they started to ask questions or get annoyed! I kept a journal ( one page is displayed on this page) on the days l went out and l went out 2 or 3 times a week on average and spent 3 or more hours in the same place. I didi this to give people a chance to actually approach me. It is an interesting project. Some people asked me straight away what l was doing and didn't seem upset at all infact were quite interested in it. Some people just moved and others just smiled at me. Others thought l was an undercover cop!, others may be l was aterrorist, a spy or may be someone from the council keeping tabs on everyone!!!!It seems that people do not like CCTV cameras but once they can see the person behind the camera...it's better! If you have any other questions please ask...that is if anyone is reading this!
