Lights. Camera. Action!

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


The street where I work is often used for filming TV and movies. Unusually this took place on a weekday; filming is usually on a Sunday. A side entrance to the Adelphi building was used as the front of a police station.

Magpie

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


I'm sore there's a joke to be made here about the old Magpie TV programme, but I can't think of it.

Potatoes

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Another crop from the garden. These made an excellent potato salad.

Twilight

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


More like darkness: the greenhouse lit only by an upstairs light (and a bit of software trickery).

How's dem apples?

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Next door's apples looking very tempting. But, as always, the branches with the good fruit are out of reach.

The office

Painting, decorating and furniture bulding completed.

Blue sky

Paddington Circle and District Line tube station.

The birds

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


One of our neighbours leaves out bread crumbs and who knows what, attracting squirrels, crows and bloody pigeons. Probably attracting rats as well. A call to the public health department may be getting a call soon.

Painting and decorating

Fair weather

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Clouds have no colour. They merely reflect or block light.

Man in street

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


This guy decided to sleep on the pavement. Most people just walked on by, Eventually someone asked if he was ok. Just sleeping it off.

...and the rains came...

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


My rather dead umbrella.

Hot August Day

Packed park at lunchtime.

Slug

The bane of my garden.

It rained unexpectedly on the way home, so I opted for the bus from Streatham Hill. Still had to wait five minutes at the bus shelter for the rain to ease off.

Up in the air

Shot of an incoming jet buzzing South London on its way to Heathrow.

Crescent moon

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Ok, rather lame Space Shuttle related picture. The shuttle, which landed today, doesn't go to the moon, but if some people had their way the shuttle might have a role to play as a stepping stone.

Chimney

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Time for re-pointing?

Low hanging fruit

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Next door's apples looking even more inviting.

More from the archives. Piazza San Marco, April 2002.

Cricket

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


From last year's Oval Test Match against South Africa. Rather drunk at Tea. Not quite the excitement as seen in this year's Ashes series, but an England win nevertheless.

Tomatoes

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


First disappointing crop of tomatoes.
