Years ago …
I bought an old book of black and white transport pictures
from the second hand book shop in Newcastle’s Grainger Arcade.
Looking at the pictures,

Uncomposed and captured arbitrarily.

Some might view these small corners of our world
as bleak and vacuous – Whereas I find them
mysterious and intriguing.

If you allow yourself to believe that
each moment is an undiscovered country,
then all kinds of extraordinary things can be found
in ordinary places ...
