Ham Photos is a growing archive of photos of Ham (at the meeting of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames in south-west London), where I have lived since 1996. It captures the small changes that are easily missed and delights in the unusual, the unexpected and the unnoticed.

Wendy's second birthday
It's as surprising to find that a new shop is two years old as it is your own children. Both age unnoticed while you do not age at all. Dr Who ought to look in to that paradox.
The birthday girl, Wendy, is a joyful and colourful member of the local community and is easily the prettiest thing on Ham Parade. And, like every pretty girl, she likes to wear new outfits and her latest shouts the love of Valentine's Day across the busy street.
It is impossible to walk past Wendy's Workshop without feeling a little happier and a little jollier. It's like being young again.
