gas meters Gas meters are one of the these "infra-ordinary" urban things nobody notices, and photographing them obsessively over a period of about 4 years was an exercise in reversing the usual peripheral/focal perception. I became super-sensitized to them and started to appreciate their peculiar characters: some show a kind of ungainly spidery grace of awkward robots in early science fiction comi

Absence of Water In the Thirties London's outdoor lidos were at the peak of their popularity. Gradually tastes have changed, resulting in a drop in attendances, leaving the pools uneconomical to run. Many fell into decay and many were demolished. Only a handful of pools remain today as a symbol of a bygone era.

cuban television sets In Cuba, television is the most important communication medium and a national pastime. No matter that the TV sets themselves are outdated, pre-revolution relics imported from America or sets from Russia over fifteen years old; green-hued beasts jimmy-rigged with ancient computer parts and fantastically adorned like religious altars.
