“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.”
— Imogen Cunningham
“This wallpaper is killing me. One of us has to go”
Oscar Wilde
I travel a lot for work and have stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years. After a while, they begin to look and feel the same. Some lack soul, some are quirky, most are anonymous and hard to remember. I take photos of the rooms and from the rooms, challenging myself to make them interesting.
Or whatever.
 Abu Dhabi 2020-Home Comforts. Getting ready to meet the 'man'. |  Abu Dhabi-view from hotel window |  Berlin Feb 2020. Victor's place again. The superbly named Victor's Residenze Hotel no less. |  Clayton Hotel, Dublin, Dec 2019. Room service in ones lair. |  Cheap Manc Hotel. If you are feeling brave and adventurous. Internet available. I did not stay there. But I often think about the place. |  Self-portrait. Anything to break the boredom. |  Berlin 2019 Victor's Residenze-Hotel. A suite of rooms room(s). Actually. No idea why I upgraded. |  View from Dublin hotel |  Nottingham for a week. Hotel was standard and anonymous...the view from the window of my room -out onto the bad-lands -was interesting enough...I did venture out for a walk. |  I soon discovered I was not alone in this God-forsaken hotel...I half expected to hear 'come play with us'...Jurys Inn Nottingham UK 2019 |  Hotel at the end of the universe. Great views. Count the bricks and win a prize. |  Hotel at end of the universe- different room, different view-upgrade-I think. I stared out for hours...not one vehicle came to refuel. |  Hotel Dubai. Early morning couldn't sleep so took photos... |  One of the nicer hotels... |  Zurich July 2019. Bog. Standard. |  Hotel room Zurich. Standard stuff. Been here too many times. |  3 AM and all is quiet in Zurich Schaffhauserstrasse 101 |  Hotel Grand Rapids USA. It was a horrible hotel. Deadly quiet, strong odors, muzac, strange people, like something from a David Lynch movie but nowhere as cool. |  July 2019 #2. Somewhere. |  Night view from bog-standard hotel Zurich July 2019...did see a naked something in the room across the way...too fast to see...just saw a piece of flesh nip across the room... |  Designer hotel Bonn, Germany. Might have been designed by a pimp-not sure. An over-designed themed hotel for.... The light and shadows caught my attention as I waited for the lift. |  Dubai 2019. Soulless city. |  View from Dubai Hotel, bit of a dust / sand thing going on. |  View from hotel window Lviv, Ukraine. Man walking baby to calm it down while talking on the phone...you see the world and its dramas live from hotel windows...the baby howled, he rocked it back and forth, it fell silent and he continued his conversation, strolling up and down the smallest football pitch (come basketball pitch)-like it was lifted from toy town. |  God knows where. |  Nov 2019, near Dublin airport. Ireland Home. |  Dublin 2019 |
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
The radiation is contained but the damage can’t be undone.
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is like a disaster national park, where the remnants of villages and towns serve as attractions while nature slowly returns.
Roaming the deserted streets and buildings, one can’t help feeling like a time traveller exploring the world of 1986 when whole communities were deserted from one day to the next. The attraction to explore and sift through the wreckage looking for clues of the life that was, is strong, and compelling.
