Keele, some color (and a favour to ask of you)

Enoch fed me with a fantastic dinner this evening. He lives at Keele. I’d never been to that station before. There was a man enjoying a pleasant drug/alcohol-induced snooze in the station as the red rockets clattered by at speed. ‘Danger’ is to prove to y’all that I sometimes do let in a little color. Finally, ‘The Grizzly’ – still in color – a place where I wish there had been some human subjects to shoot.
I wanted to ask you a favour. Do you follow this site in your RSS feeds? I’d love it if you did (feed HERE). Do you enjoy some of my posts? I’d love it if you ‘liked’ them, commented or shared them with your friends. I suppose I’m just curious to hear who’s out there, that’s all. And I need encouragement. I think we all need a bit of encouragement sometimes. So let me know what you think. Let me know which photographs you don’t like and why. Let me know if something is too edited, or not enough. Let me know if I post too frequently, or if I don’t post enough. Yup, you are all awesome. Every last one of you. I mean it, and I miss you!
High-five’s soon k?

Aaron Hughes - i subscribe in rss. i like your photos. especially keele today. i like how much you post. i like you. i do wish you were still in nyc another week though.

Lisa - I keep up via twitter/facebook feeds. Love all your photos – post more, if anything!

FINCH - YOU ARE AWESOME ALEX! And a freekin talented man with a camera. My fav's are still the old abandoned Kodak factory. I too wish you'd had a torch to venture into those creepy dark rooms. We all miss you too. Just take care in those scary places :)

(New York) City Scenes

I tried my best to focus on the task at hand. I promise I did. But every now and then I couldn’t resist the urge. I hate places like this, I really do. Places where you know you should be taking photographs, but you just can’t figure out what of. No-one wants the same shot that’s already on Flickr one thousand times over. It’s challenging, in familiar places, to get unfamiliar frames. This city is big, and fast, and dirty. It’s what my dreams are often made of. I love her, but she wears me out like no-one else can. Perhaps a few weeks per year is enough after all. Perhaps I say, perhaps. We’ve really been getting to know each other over the past few years…

becka - Alex, these are so beautiful! Oh man, I love this city so much and love how you've captured it!

B - These are such awesome photos!

Deep in the night, somewhere between New York City & Toronto

As I stumbled from the bus onto the cold pavement of a rest area somewhere in-between New York City and Toronto I encountered these unusual creatures getting some gas. In the early hours of the morning it was certainly surreal. Although my tiredness resulted in terrible camera settings. Still, you get the point. One of those sights you just don’t get everyday.
