I’m in Brighton Photo Fringe 2026!

Text promoting the 'Fringe Elements' photography group, highlighting seven unique responses to everyday life and its patterns.

A list of artists displayed in bold orange text against a blue background. The names included are Adam Isler, Alex Bamford, Eva Kalpadakigr, Jerry Webb, Liban Elmi, Robert White, and Tracy Wadey.

If you’re in the Brighton area, join the artists (including me) on the 5th October from 4:30 – 7:00 pm – BYO event, so come along with drinks and snacks!

Seems like if you don’t photograph yourself somewhere, then the place, or maybe you, don’t exist. Almost everyone I saw in Times Square was busy photographing or videoing themselves, so they could prove to their followers that they’d been.

Tried to make this Rockefeller Center building the canvas for a tree portrait.

Hydrant

I was interested to see the hydrant passing through the shop display area and the way the two lights created a heart shape.

Post no Bills

I’ve been collecting images of NY’s ubiquitous Post No Bills stencils for over 20 years. This visit is no different. Here are 3 more examples.

A green wall displaying two signs: one instructing delivery vendors for Le Bernardin to call a phone number, and another stating 'POST NO BILLS' in large red letters. — East 55th Street, New York

A green wall covered with multiple 'POST NO BILLS' stencils, alongside various handwritten notes and graffiti. — East 55th Street, New York

Wall Art

A textured wall painted in various shades of blue and green, featuring horizontal stripes in different colors. — 95th St and First Avenue, New York

The wall bordering a gas (petrol) station on 96th Street at First Avenue. It really does look like an artist’s work, though I’m sure it was just meant to cover graffiti. Here’s another view of the same wall in black & white:

Black and white image of a textured wall with sections of different gray and white paint, along with visible paint drips.
