The kingfisher logo comes from a tatoo I designed way back in the Naughties and got put on my leg. I did it shortly after returning to England for the first time since I’d immigrated when I was eight years old. It’s a European kingfisher of the kind I used to see when I was little. It reminds me of where I came from.
I took a photo of the tatoo and then photoshopped it into the logo as it is now. Kingfishers are a triple threat: they can fly like missiles, swim like a fish and move about on land. A good metaphor for the kind of photography and art I like to do (the technically difficult kind).

Previous TMD logos went through a series of evolutions, as did the Mechanical Sympathy logo…
The Dusty World logo (my oldest blog) has been stable for a number of years…
