The following collection of miscellaneous images was compiled by Yours Truly over a number of years. I will continue to add to it as time permits and fancy dictates. When you have viewed an image, click the back button to return to this page.

Boarding pass for the Tehran Holocaust Conference
[These three practically identical photos of Chris were taken by myself
at his FOREST office. I can't remember the date but I should imagine it was c1992].
Chris R. Tame - 2
[I was fairly certain the three photos below were taken at a meeting held at the Institute Of Economic Affairs;
this was confirmed by Sean Gabb, who dated them c1991].

Eh? This is the cover of a tape put out by Andrew Savage in 1989. For the full
background to this and the sad story of my music non-career, the reader is referred to the Music Section.

Lady Jane Birdwood (1913-2000) at the Notting Hill Carnival - 1
Laura Pérez - 1 three photographs taken by Yours Truly in Paris, Saturday, June 27, 1992
Morris Riley (1945-2001)
The above photograph appeared in the May 1991 issue of Management Today; it was given or sold to the magazine by a fellow NUJ member without my knowledge,
and probably without knowing who took it. There is a long story behind this, but even today this affair is something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, like so many of my
journalistic/researching and publishing misadventures. It is published here solely because it is the first and most likely only photograph I have ever had published or will
ever have published in a major national magazine.
Professor Antony Flew (1923-2010) - 1
I was saddened to learn of the death of Professor Flew on April 13; I received the news in a routine
mailing from Sean Gabb; he died on April 8. I can't profess to have known him well but he was probably the only
Englishman I ever met who had actually visited Nazi Germany, which was qualification enough for him to be targeted
on one occasion by the odious Searchlight gang.
I can't remember when or where precisely I took the two photographs above, probably the early 1990s and definitely at a Libertarian Alliance conference in London. I had the odd correspondence with him over the years but hadn't seen him for
some considerable time before his death. I can't say his conversion from lifelong atheist to a form of deism shocked me;
he was not only a philosopher but an honest man, and would have had no hesitation at all in changing his mind if he realised (or believed in this case)
that something he believed in was incorrrect.
RIP
Simon Wolff (1957-95) - 1
Simon Wolff was Senior Lecturer in Toxicology at University College London. I can't remember
the date I interviewed him, but my slightly
whimsical Smoking And Something Else - which
was based on this interview - was published in 1993. I ran into him again sometime later
at Victoria Station. In the Summer of 2008 I had dug out some old photographs to scan for this
site, including these three. I had intended to send him the originals, but a search on Google revealed - to my
shock and horror - that he had died as long ago as 1995. I can't profess to have known him at all well but he was a genuinely nice guy
whose work lives on in the Simon Wolff Charitable Foundation.
Simon Wolff - 2
Tom Caldwell and his colleague Kate Millson (see above) worked for Catford Centre For The Unemployed, which I used for a
number of years from the mid-80s. I found it by chance while I was fly pitching in Catford (the things I've done to try to make a crust). An obituary of sorts for Tom
can be found in my magnum opus beginning at page 137.
