- 4. I CREATED HAM PHOTOS FOR SEVERAL REASONS I wanted to capture the way that Ham is changing, e.g. shops come and go I wanted to record Ham as it is now, something like a Domesday Book I wanted to publicise some of the things that I though should be more widely known, e.g. Sudbrook Lodge I thought I would do “AYear in Ham” but I keep going! 4
- 5. HAM PHOTOS STARTED IN 2007 There are now over 2,000 photos The storage available has steadily increased and so has the quality of the pictures These can be search for by their tags, e.g. parkleys, or by a simple text search I usually take several photos during a long walk and these can take a few weeks to be posted, I sometimes forget where I’ve taken the pictures so please forgive any errors. 5
- 6. I DO A LOT OF WALKING AROUND HAM This is a typical walk that I did recently The route is deliberately indirect, I go down roads and paths that look interesting Note that some of the route is along passageways, not pavements I love the way that most of Ham is permeable 6
