Best viewed large, on black.

Yet another one of the many moods of Morecambe bay. Utterly beautiful.
This could be anywhere in the world; everyone that I've told has been surprised that this was in Morecambe.

Marked day in Lancaster, shot pretty much from the hip.

Not exactly Cartier-Bresson; I half wish that it was raining and that I'd dropped the shutter speed down.

Back on the 360-odd days wagon (a thousand huzzahs!).

This group of Batala drummers were playing at Caton Gala. They were fantastic - and only the guy with the ponytail noticed me.

I do wish I'd found a better angle to shoot from - preferably close-up with a wide lens - but you can't have everything.

I snapped this gent in the centre of Lancaster as he was re-threading his shoe with a lace that had just broken. I never found out how he'd managed to make it work. I also liked the fact that he was the only one in a suit anywhere in the vicinity of the fountain (which is what they're sat on) at this time in the morning.

There are so many reasons that I should dislike this shot: It's blurred due to camera shake, it's noisy due to a high ISO setting, etc., and yet I somehow can't bring myself to.

I took this standing on the south bank of the Thames, a few yards away from the London Eye. These two were completely wrapped up in each other and nothing around them distracted them. It was really rather sweet. I only took the one shot of them though; doing so made me feel rather guilty.

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
