I would urge everyone to start looking at the world in a different way. Spend some time looking at everyday objects, at their design, their shape, their individual characteristics. Think ahead and imagine their significance.

A rainy street at night, two people crossing the road, car headlights, a bus heading away. A phone box, and shop fronts on the left including the characteristic (for the time) canopy over the front of W H Smith's.

Evening at Bromford Bridge, Birmingham, looking in Washwood Heath direction.
I was having a go with a borrowed 500mm mirror lens.
My photo May 1978.
An evening railway scene. An extreme telephoto lens has been used - gives severe foreshortening. A train in the distance, its tail light just visible. Signals and other railway equipment, and two gas-holders in the background.

A misty rural landscape at dawn with a dirt path curving through grassy fields, a bare tree in the center, and warm golden sunlight filtering through the fog under a clear blue sky.

Here’s fun: just bought this old painting from a charity shop as I liked the style & pensive expression.
After I paid, the lady at the till told me the person who donated it said they think it’s is maybe of the guy those books by the door are about.
As I left, I looked at the books: it’s John Buchan
Oil Painting of the head and shoulders of a white man whose age difficult to estimate, maybe early middle age, dark haired with a short neat style, with a receding hairline, he is dressed smartly in dark jacket, white shirt with rounded collar and khaki tie. He is looking down and to the right with a pensive expression and is seated against a greenish, yellow background with some terracotta strokes hazily brushed in. The style of painting, clothes and hair suggest the work is from or represents the early twentieth century
