Rural Beekeepers in Hitchin

Rural Beekeepers in Hitchin - Hertfordshire

I started a new personal project at the weekend on a local community garden for bee's called Buzzworks.

New Work - Brutalist Playgounds

I remember playing on a concrete tube we called 'the saddle' at my old primary school and loved it. So have fond memories of these concrete playgrounds. Unfortunately not many have survived but last November I researched and visited a playground that was still standing down in South Clapham beneath Belgravia House tower block.

Prince Street Car Park - Bristol

Over the weekend I was in the beautiful city of Bristol catching up with friends and photographing the stunning Prince Street Car Park to add to my ongoing Beautiful Brutalism project.

It was a great building to photograph and I look forward to uploading all the images to my Beautiful Brutalism project over the next few weeks.
