A Slice of Glasgow: Irn-Bru in the Phone Box

by Brian Anderson

There’s something quietly powerful about the ordinary moments that make a place feel like home. My black and white print of an Irn-Bru bottle sitting in an old Glasgow phone box captures one of those small, familiar pieces of the city that often go unnoticed.

Irn-Bru is more than just a drink here. It’s part of the fabric of Scotland—bright, bold, and unapologetically itself. Someone placing it inside a phone box, a relic of another time, creates a quiet conversation between past and present. The image might seem simple, but for me it’s a small love letter to Glasgow and to the everyday things that give it heart.

Sometimes, it’s in the most unassuming corners that we find our truest reflections.

I’m excited to share the launch of my new photozine — Shutter Junkie.
A 60-page collection celebrating the raw, honest, and beautiful world of photography — from historic street scenes to contemporary reportage and photojournalism.

Shutter Junkie is for those who love images that tell real stories. Each issue will bring together moments from the past and present, capturing everyday life, people, and places as they are — unfiltered and full of character.

Whether you’re a photographer, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates the power of a single frame to speak volumes, Shutter Junkie aims to deliver something genuine and memorable.

The first edition will be available soon on Amazon, ready to collect and keep.

Stay tuned for updates, sneak peeks, and stories behind the shots.
Because every photograph — old or new — deserves a place to be seen.

Every so often, something small turns up that takes you right back in time. Recently, while going through some old boxes, I stumbled across a couple of photos I hadn’t seen in decades — from around 1987 or ’88.

They were taken somewhere around the Easterhouse area, back when the streets looked a little different and life felt a bit slower. One photo in particular caught my eye — a man in a hat, shovel in hand, hard at work on the road. There was something about it that stopped me for a moment. Maybe it was the look of quiet focus, or just the sense of an ordinary day caught in a fleeting frame.

I’d completely forgotten I even had these pictures, and honestly thought they were long lost. Finding them again felt like uncovering a tiny gem — a reminder of a place, a time, and the people who helped shape it.

I’ve often wondered who he was, that road worker in the photo. Maybe someone out there might recognise him — a neighbour, a friend, a relative from back then. It would be great to put a name to that face after all these years.

Either way, it’s a lovely reminder that even the most ordinary snapshots can hold extraordinary stories — all waiting quietly to be rediscovered.

Well folks, hope everyone’s doing alright and ready for the weekend. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind these past few weeks as we continue doing what we’ve always done — documenting our great city of Glasgow, just as we’ve been doing since the 1980s.

The first photo I managed to grab recently was from a demonstration at Buchanan Galleries. Let’s just say things got a bit tense — the police were pretty heavy-handed, to say the least.

Not long after that came the big one — the official launch of Glasgow Eyes Magazine, which made quite the splash in the national press. We’re buzzing about the response and grateful to everyone who’s shown support. We’ve also just launched our new yearly subscription, available now at a great low-cost deal — make sure to check it out if you haven’t already.

Then, as if Glasgow hadn’t seen enough action, Storm Amy came crashing through — battering the city, nearly blowing a few hairpieces off, and even bringing a building down on a car in the Broomielaw area. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt.

We’ll be back out and about soon, camera in hand, capturing more of Glasgow’s life, people, and spirit — just as we’ve always done.

Stay tuned and stay safe, folks.

Best,
Brian Anderson

Night Patrols and the Bridge over the Clyde

There’s a certain stillness that comes over the city at night. Most people don’t see it—by the time the streets quiet down, they’re home, warm, maybe drifting into sleep. But on patrol, you see the city differently. You hear it breathe.

I always find myself pulled toward the Clyde. The river has its own kind of voice, steady and low, carrying the reflections of lamps and passing headlights. There’s comfort in it. The bridge over the Clyde feels like an old companion on those nights. Solid. Steadfast. Watching as the city changes, but never losing its place.

There’s a kind of humility to walking the city when everyone else is asleep. You’re not part of the noise or the rush. You’re just there, keeping watch, noticing things others might never stop to see. That bridge, those reflections on the Clyde—they’ve kept me company more times than I can count.

Maybe that’s why this picture means so much. It’s not just a view—it’s a memory. A reminder of nights when the city felt like it belonged only to me, the river, and the bridge.

Photojournalism - Picture of The Day

Glasgow Eyes was out on the streets today as Buchanan Street turned into a flashpoint of noise, colour, and conviction. Hundreds gathered in the heart of the city, some waving placards in protest, others arriving to counter them. The result was a raw, unfiltered slice of Glasgow life—voices clashing, chants echoing between the Galleries, and police standing firm to keep the line between the groups.

Our lens was there, capturing the tension, the faces in the crowd, and the story unfolding in real time. From students with banners to older campaigners standing their ground, the sheer mix of people told its own story about the city’s spirit.

This is Glasgow photojournalism in its purest form—on the ground, in the moment, no filter, no distance. The full picture story will be front and centre in the brand-new first issue of Glasgow Eyes, launching in the middle of next week.
