This book is a delightful collection of photos that I've had the pleasure of owning for a while. I realise my endorsement is not worth a great deal, but I recommend getting a copy so you can enjoy Marie's work too.

Walk towards the light. #StreetPhotography #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanGaze

Photo looking through an underpass. Being in Paris it has a stylish, gently arched roof with lights that cast beams across the roof. At the top of a set of wide stairs is the silhouette of a man walking away from the camera towards a second set of steps that lead up into the daylight.

Black and white photo of light from large, leaded windows falling obliquely across carved slate gravestones set into the floor. The photo is hazy and soft giving it a slightly dreamy feel.

Into the Sea #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanGaze #Weymouth #BritishSeaside

Photo of a small, striped tent on a beach, next to which is a partially folded pushchair. A man's head can just be seen, poking out of the tent; he seems to be watching the woman walking away from the tent, into the sea.

At the seaside #Photography #StreetPhotography #UrbanGaze #Weymouth

Photo of two deckchairs on the promenade in Weymouth. Through the mesh backs of the deckchairs can be seen a man and woman, both wearing hats and between them can be glimpsed their sandalled feet resting on railings in front of them. They seem to be looking out over the beach with people sunbathing, and beyond that the sea.

Vanishing Point #Photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #UrbanGaze #UrbanPhotography

Black and white photo looking along a long corridor. There are two travellators running down the middle of the photo, the handrails of these and the lines made by the lights on the ceiling converge at a point near the centre of the frame.

Sunspots #Photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #UrbanGaze

Black and white photo of a white, spherical lampshade that nearly fills the bottom two thirds of the frame. It is suspended by a cable from a dimly seen ceiling. At the base of the lampshade are two small, dirty smudges that bear a resemblance to sunspots. Much to the bafflement of other diners, this photo was made whilst seated at a restaurant table, waiting for my order to arrive.

Black and white photo of a set of wide curving steps leading up to three flagpoles. Behind the flagpoles is a high stone wall in front of a monumental building.

Black and white photo of the top part of the obelisk that stands in Place de la Concorde, Paris. To its left is the top part of a lantern-style street light. High in the sky and crossing the top of the obelisk is the contrail of a plane, making a sort of scratch across the frame..

Celestial light. Graham Sutherland's masterpiece, Christ in Glory in the Tetramorph, and a beam of light. #Photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #UrbanPhotography #CoventryCathedral #UrbanGaze

Black and white photo of Graham Sutherland's tapestry 'Christ in Glory in the Tetramorph', hanging in Coventry Cathedral. The viewpoint is from near the base looking up and a shaft of light forms a connection between the figure of Christ and the large figure at the top of the tapestry. Light flares from long, thin windows on either side and a cluster of three lights glow star-like from the top of the frame.

Tyrannosaur. Please keep the roaring to a minimum so as not to disturb the neighbours. #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanGaze #Weedon

A square format photo shot through a van windscreen. On the dashboard is a plastic model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with its mouth agape, as id roaring. Through the back window of the van can be seen a notice affixed to a wall requesting that noise is kept to a minimum to respect the neighbours. Mr. Rex seems not to be caring.

Nonconformity. #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanGaze #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Rugby

Square black and white photo of the outside of an office block. The facade is composed of windows and panels of concrete forming a uniform pattern of squares and rectangles. In a bottom right window the venetian blinds have become damaged and part of them hang down in a fan shape, completely at odds to the uniformity of the rest of the building.

Me and my shadow. #Photography #StreetPhotography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanGaze #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Birmingham

Black and white photo looking almost straight over a man walking on the pavement below, in the top right of the frame. The man is hooded and has his hand up to his head. Aa angled dark line appears to cordon off where he's walking, but his shadow stretches out beyond the line. The whole frame is overlaid with a mesh pattern - insert your fitting into boxes / regimented life metaphor here.

The portal. #Photography #UrbanPhotography #UrbanGaze #Birmingham

Photo of lift doors, on each side of which are narrowly spaced vertical bars. Above the doors is a plain grey panel and pavig stones cover the floor in front of them. The doors themselves are transparent and through them can be seen, slightly blurred, the green leaves of trees. The splash of natural colour is in contrast to the austere construction of the lift.

The vase is on a cloth-covered table of which only a corner can be seen. In the background is a blurred stone wall in which is set an arched niche.
