  • Listless list

    Jo is away in Scotland for over two weeks, and I find myself listless. There are lots of things to do, which I’d planned to fill the time while Jo’s not here: preparing photographs, tidying and cleaning, bringing some semblance of order to the piled mess which is my home office desk. Getting those endless…

  • Fiancées

  • Train Journey

    These are the first short video clips I’ve done with the little video camera built into my mobile phone, made specifically to put on my website. I’d love to know what you think of the idea: whether the films themselves are interesting or not is obviously a whole other question! Can you see the films…

  • Earmuffs

    It was a long night last night. The voices didn’t let you sleep much; they never do at the weekend, do they? It must have something to do with the excitement of the end of the week when you were a kid; when you were hustled through the darkness, packed onto a train and met…

  • The Ring

    I designed Jo’s engagement ring myself and it was made by a goldsmith associated with Rolf Dillmann in Berne. The ring contains two rubies and a diamond on a white gold band in a classic design. The band is slim where it joins the setting and increases in breadth towards the rear of the ring,…
