Valentine's Day Roses
Or rose's with an apostrophe if you're the writer of the sign on the stall. A woman picks up eight of the wooden roses, possibly because of the significance of tomorrow, that being one of the many dates throughout the year contrived to get people spending for no real reason; for just this one day do something that you should do anyway but make sure you cough up some money for it. Ah, gets you right here doesn't it? Romantic? Not me. Submitted for #MonochromeMonday . Google+: View post on...
Crane Street Shops
Submitted for #SignSunday (+Sign Sunday) curated by +walt sprinkle and +Gene Bowker. A woman probably taking a quick fag break at the eastern end of Crane Street, a short, pedestrianised road off North Street in Chichester. Google+: View post on...
Homeless Man
For #StreetSaturday curated by +Siddharth Pandit. A regular sight in Chichester is this man, apparently homeless, and I dread to think how he's coping with the temperatures we currently have around these parts; I hope he has a regular place to stay overnight. I've never spoken to him but he seems pleasant enough; never drunk, never shouting, never angry, just wandering around minding his own business usually. I've seen him eating outside a café before and I've heard from colleagues that one of the local Chinese restaurants usually allow him to eat whatever's left over at the end of their regular "all you can eat" lunchtime deals. Nice to hear, and sad at the same time. Google+: View post on...
Jimmy Choo Shoes
For #SaturdayStyle curated by +lynn langmade and +lane langmade. First off: I'm not a product photographer. I know, I know; it's very, very difficult to tell from this masterfully-composed and photographed shot on a towel on the bed, but it's true nonetheless. So, Jimmy Choo shoes: specifically, the most recently bought of the four pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes that my wife now owns, these ones being picked up in Chevy Chase, Maryland when we were over there in November (nice-looking place albeit with a paranoid cop who followed us around asking what I was shooting and then waited in the Jimmy Choo store to make sure we weren't about to rob the place until the security guard there effectively told him to sod off and stop bothering her store's customers). My wife loves Jimmy Choo shoes. They make her feel better about herself – a sign of great style – and they encourage other people to make ooh and aah noises when they see them.

Bus Windows
I actually remembered some of the themes that were running today so actively sought out things to fit (I'm not often that organised) and managed to take several photos that qualified for #WindowWednesday . This, however, was my favourite from the day simply because it held the most number of interesting (well, to me) things in it: a bus at the stop in West Street, Chichester about to pull away. Also submitted for +Monthly PAD Challenge, day 8. Google+: View post on...
Roly
We shifted position to North Street, today, because of a lack of photo opportunities and it was while we were standing around, waiting for something wonderful to appear that I spotted the subject of today's photo. His name's Roly and while it may look like he's a down-and-out that's mostly down to my playing around with Photoshop this evening; he's actually my brother's brother-in-law (or my sister-in-law's brother, if you prefer) and he was out with his wife in the cold sunshine that Chichester bathed in on his day off today. You'll notice my skill in getting that perfect portrait moment with the eyes closed. I did actually get some other shots where he's looking at me but I liked this one the best.
