Alan Morris Rush-hour? Sometimes I am intrigued/puzzled by your titles; actually are the titles informative? How do you arrive at them?

Martin Humphries ? Rush- hour? This was simply about going back to "do it again" Quite often they are spot on what the thing is about, and sometimes they are just an intuitive pronouncement that is kind of the picture, but doesn’t set the thing in a definition of stone.

Titles help me to find things. When I collected stamps I could tell in a second whether or not I had a copy!

Alan Morris Oh I hope I didn't upset you! The picture put me in mind of Victoria Station where you could stand at the top of the stairs and watch that river of humanity flowing down into the underground. I'm glad your titles are 'fluid'. Sometimes factual or descriptive and sometimes not. Not sure what you mean with your stamp reference....can you explain please?

Martin Humphries I'll get back to you, a tricky, but useful one to explain. And, I'm sorry but you didn't get near to upsetting me!

As a minor accompaniment.

It’s a compartmentalising issue.

I used the stamp collector’s example as (maybe) a spurious link.
As the stamps all fit into various disciplines – locations – prices, I feel that that made them all easier to recognise & place them pretty well immediately.
Up to a point, I do find that naming or describing pictures I have made helps to slot them onto perches existing in their own personal space & date.

I find I have to do this more & more, year by year as their numbers mount up.
I have been making stuff since I was 14 ~ more than 50 years.
~ if I made five things a week (as an absolute minimum) ~ 260 a year ~ which adds up to Thirteen Thousand. I mean, where are they all?
