Donald and Malcolm Cambell
Photo from the TC-Auction happening this October.Photo apparently taken at Daytona just before Cambell achieved the 272mph Land Speed Record in 1933.
Cambell snr looks pretty intense (or maybe he just didn't like photographers...)

Pinhole camera photography
30 second exposure, taken at Zoom-In which was open for the Lambeth Open Studios.
The image was taken at the top of the fire escape looking out towards Oval Church. Paper was in a square tin which is why the perspective does something wierd to the left and right.

flea market photos
This seems like a magic trick - one man disappearing behind another. I'm not sure if it's just (in)precise timing on the part of the taker, or if they're joking around (there were others with this man and his family that seemed quite playful.
This one I liked just for the sweeping composition
This one is another mystery - they're clearly foreign dignitaries visiting Toyota. But they appear to be dancing(?) It looks a bit like a masonic initiation, or perhaps a still from a horror film (the front man doesn't exactly look like he's happy about the situation, he looks especially anxious about what might come next...)

School painting
This was a painting on the walls in a school in Ubud in Bali. I like the strangeness of the characters and especially the feral rabbits who are digging up bones (?) one of them even appears to have dirt dripping from her mouth...
