Train spotters are a ridiculed community and after the week at Farnborough when plane geeking reaches its .. peak (see my alternative Farnborough Air Show: bakerpictures.com/portf…) I rose early and biked it to a favourite footbridge to sense the tuts from passing commuters. #RailTravel #Railways
A dog lags behind his walker (far left!) as they pass through the scorched grass in Brockwell Park, south London. Dry grasses pose a significant fire risk and one half of England is currently under drought conditions with 20m water consumers also under hosepipe rules.
This gallery of dystopian Landskaps distantly acknowledges my Netherlandish Baker family roots on Foulness Island, the Bakkers. I also used to live in modern day Flanders which later influenced an affinity for the Dutch masters and bad Flemish TV www.bakerpictures.com/gallery/Land...
Recent cityscapes from our local south London park which sometimes are used out there to illustrate home ownership, energy - and the wider economy.

London heatwave 1-9, 26th May. The spring heatwave has once again broken records for the hottest May since records began with a sweltering 35° at Heathrow airport and Kew Gardens.

I’ve been on the streets of Chelsea where the flower festival is in full swing, the pavements blocked by flower followers who seem to photograph every petal outside local businesses. As my daughter rightly says, they’re ‘naff’ but I like to watch the peripheries where obsessive behaviour shows.
Pelicans and Crown Jewels, St James’s Park, London, 13th May.

Thanks, ‘Have I Got News For You’ for displaying my recent picture just now from the Archbishop’s enthronement in Canterbury - although, because I was leaping from my seat, I didnt catch their caption.
Spring tulips, south London. The shed however leans more and more every year.
A terrfic end to this edition of Front Row with fellow-space geek @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social in conversation about literature and music in orbit with Helen Sharman and #NASA veteran astronaut, Cady Coleman www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Hoping we also hear words and sounds on #Artemis this week.

When the printer says, ‘no I won’t print your pathetic colour red’ and its nozzles agree, there’s only one thing to do and that’s run away from the problem and head out to the nearest hill for a gale forced coffee 💨☕️
Tinnitus, yes. Red Arrows, tick. RAF career? Erm - no.
Randomly found a usage of mine in the mags rack at Victoria - a howling New Zealand Sheepdog in the current dogs issue of National Geographic via ‘In Pictures’ / Getty images All good retailers etc.
USS Harry Truman, Persian Gulf, 2000. The US Navy allowed me to photograph an aircraft carrier for 3 days but after 24hrs we were flown off so although I’d already shot enough for two issues of the commissioning magazine, it didn’t feel I’d justified the months of negotiation to get me on-board.
It'll be ten years since the community occupation of Herne Hill's Carnegie Library, a local story which became an international newspiece - and which I photographed throughout (see picture below of mine in the Observer last year). The issues of closing the libraries seemingly as relevant today.
Richard Ovenden@richove.bsky.social · 11mo agoAhead of a formal celebration of the 1850 Public Libraries Act in Manchester next week, I have a piece in @theobserveruk.bsky.social this weekend celebrating that forward-looking legislation (and a call to action). observer.co.uk/news/opinion...
My favourite ten pictures of 2025. A few are just one-offs and sometimes from a sequence of many and others are the result of much work. In any case, they’re in places I know well but as Saul Leiter said: ‘Mysterious things happen in familiar places’. www.instagram.com/p/DSzYDphjQA...
I’m hiring a reporter for London Centric, looking for someone smart who can use a phone, knock on doors and wants to cause trouble. Don’t care if you’ve got qualifications, just want evidence of caring about news. Initial six month contract, pay above national rates. www.londoncentric.media/p/jobs
