So I made a Youtube “photo essay” as a tribute to the place.

The aim was to make a montage of a ‘different’ Oxford from what the tourists see, but it turned out I took most of my best photos in the historic centre of town (I live near the city centre anyway). Hopefully video still gives a flavour of what it’s been like to actually live in a city like Oxford with its traditions, water meadows, river walks and all the lovely people I’ve met here.

The music is by a local Oxford band, Danny and the Champions. Their self-titled album is available through Amazon UK or iTunes.
