So guess it’s hat week. Please cast your eyes upon this varied collection of different headwear that the good ole people of London town are sporting this winter. What people choose to cover their heads with is often a flagship item to project their very personal fashion style but they also keep heads warm, highly useful in these chilly times. So no human observations or no social commentary this week, just some good ole fashioned visual grouping..to paraphrase a classic…sometimes a hat is just a hat.

Fleeting moments in time in other people’s lives this week. Moments that should have disappeared into the ether had I not been there to capture them. And this photographic evidence that I present before you now exists unbeknownst to the subjects themselves. Photography for me always feels like the dark arts. It achieves something unnatural. It creates permanence to something that should be temporary. These moments shouldn’t have survived but now here they are, before our very eyes. They have achieved Immortality in a world of transience. Is that a good thing? Difficult to say…
