Observing the Shibboleth
One nice thing about downloading all my Facebook data was that I got to see a few old photos and videos that I’d not looked at for ages. This little, low-res video is from a trip to the Tate Modern when an installation called ‘Shibboleth‘ was on. I just liked the way that people moved […]

Love thy enemy
I sometimes write things as comments on other blogs that I’d like to note here as well. This was posted in response to this Bikeyface post. I’m blowing my own trumpet slightly, for which I hope you’ll forgive me, but I hope I make a point too. Last week I was out cycling and I […]
