One the very best things I do, and have done for a couple of years is go searching for original old skool graffiti.

I am currently having a particularly long bout of insomnia. Im on my 16 day/night/whatever of broken/limited/barely any point sleep. So as Im grumpy Im editing some London shots.

Im not keen on London. I have some lovely friends who are from London, but I just prefer Birmingham as a place. These however are some nice shots I made recently.

If you squint top right you can see Wembley…..
