You said you wanted some Space...
Although it shows up my utter photographic amateurism - given my rather iffy old camera and penchant for buying film in pound shops in Woolwich I'm not doing myself any favours - I've thrown caution to the wind and set up a Flickr account. Currently up there are some shots of Woolwich, and a few of Colonel Seifert's Space House, for a revisionist piece on this generally reviled speculative architect that is currently in progress. Anyone who wants to send me a half-decent (or, heavens above, digital) camera, my email address is top right.

Hmm, actually these are really shoddy...I should at least have noticed the bits of scanner in the corners and photoshopped them out. In my defence I say that London usually looks this grey...
How strange. I was in London today and took pictures of this very building. Isn't it lovely? Like a cylindrical Centre Point.
Glad to hear about the Flickr account. Got your article, ta. I did reply but maybe it didn't get to you. Will get it up this week.
Ah, it didn't for some reason. Still, glad to hear you've got it...oh and can I put in a request for those postcards!
i don't know if it's down to skill or the wonders of pound shop film, but that's a great picture with lovely colour.
er, thought i should say hello - i've been reading quietly for quite a while and really enjoy your writing and subject matter, and as i just added you as a flickr contact, it felt a little stalkerish not to speak up. so, hello!
a digital camera would ruin that special hazy ostalgic look that informs or should I say infests the plakaty!
