Auction Imaging and the Birdman of King’s Lynn

I have had a very hectic week imaging for James and Sons, but it is now nearly all done for this auction. On Wednesday evening I got several excellent shots of a hang-glider and I have various other pictures to share with you…

Full Steam Ahead for August Auction

I got to image some very quirky lots, including what we think is a Bar Billiards set, and one or two other very interesting items. I have also continued to make progress on the database front.

Here are some of the quirky things I imaged today…

King’s Lynn on a Summer Sunday

I have some fine pictures from yesterday. As well as those included here, which are all things I saw in and around King’s Lynn, I did photograph some books while in East Rudham for Sunday lunch, but as I did not edit these images due to time constraints they do not feature. 

While many of the objects featured here were very close to me, one was a quarter of a million miles away…
