Ham Photos

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.

Butterflies

I really like the way that the decorations on this post are refreshed periodically, this time with butterflies.

This is Ham

Ham is bounded by the Thames to the south, west and north, and by Richmond Park to the east. This is my blog so my definition of Ham counts.

I include in Ham areas that some people think should be called Petersham or Kingston. They are wrong.

About me

Matthew Rees: Born in Leeds, raised in Weymouth and now settled in Ham straddling the Kingston-Richmond border in SW London. I love walking, drama, architecture, politics, pubs and reading stories told through words and pictures (some people call them comics).

About the photographs

I try to respect privacy by only taking photographs from public places and by not including people, but if you object to any of them then please contact me.

I also do requests so if you want to see something in Ham featured here then let me know.

You can reuse any of the photographs for personal purposes but I would appreciate a simple mention if you use them in a publication or on a website.

You can find out how to contact me via my profile above.
