6k writes about the long journey from journeyman amateur snapper to Artist:
I don't pretend to be a photo ninja. I can point, and I can shoot, and sometimes the results can be pretty good. Very occasionally, they can be startlingly good, but only very occasionally. I need to work more at not just pointing and shooting to increase the percentage of those startlingly good shots. We'll get there.
There follows a picture of a bird spreading its wings. In other words, the capture of a fleeting moment.
6k photos his family quite a bit, as they do things like explore the spectacularly beautiful coastline near where he lives, in South Africa. Photoing your loved ones is also a matter of capturing the exact right moment.
With me, I think I get nearest to Art when I'm lining things up with each other. I have a mental list of things I like, and a picture counts double in my head, if I can line a couple, or maybe even more, of these things. The most characteristic of such alignments over the years have typically involved a digital photographer, with a London Big Thing in the background.
Here are a couple of efforts I might pick out to enter a competition, if someone told me I had to do that:
In these two cases, there is also an element of me waiting for the right moment, or more accurately me snapping lots of promising looking moments and picking out the best one.
Those two are from this huge collection of unrecognisable photographers, which I doubt many of you scrutinised in its entirety. So there are two of them again. I particularly like the one with the blue balloon.
And here is another exercise in lining things up, captured just a few days ago. This time, the object at the front is a plastic water bottle, resting on the anti-pigeon netting in the courtyard outside and above my kitchen window. Behind the bottle is a thing that regulars here will know that I like a lot, namely: scaffolding! This being the scaffolding at the top of the big conversion job that's being done across the courtyard from me:
That picture involves something I don't usually like to do, which is cropping. The original snap was rather bigger.
I don't know what exactly I've got against cropping, but it feels to me like only one or two notches up from cheating. Maybe I take rather excessive pride in (the Art of) getting the snap I want to emerge straight from the camera, no muss, no fuss, no photoshop. The truth, of course, is that cropping is itself very much an Art. But because I don't do cropping that much, I probably could have cropped this photo a whole lot better than I actually did.
I must have walked past it a hundred times, from Currys PC World and on my way down Tottenham Court Road towards to Maplins, seeking blank DVDs and plastic DVD sleeves. But yesterday I actually noticed it. Above a back alley called Beaumont Place, just before it arrives at the back entrance of University College Hospital, there is a a footbridge:
A rather strange one. Hospitals often have these little footbridges, connecting the Somethingtrics Department to the Somethingology Ward, or whatever, so medics and more to the point patients, don't have to go down to ground level and into the big outdoors.
But unlike many such bridges, which were clearly added years after the original buildings were erected, this one looks to have been part of the original design, to attach the new green building to the older dark grey and boxy building. (Form, as is usual with Modern Architecture, is following fashion as well as function.)
What is that strange lump on one side of it, on the bottom? And what's with the big sticking-out dark grey and boxy bit that the bridge is attached to?
That strange curved pointy thing, to be seen in the left hand picture behind the bridge, sticks out high above over that back entrance. Perhaps the idea was to draw attention to the entrance, but if so, it contributes very little along those lines. Having the words "University College Hospital" and below that, in bigger letters, the word "Entrance" , does that job far better. Aside from being physically pointy, the high-up pointy thing just looks pointless. But maybe it has some other more meaningful purpose.
Usually, I do quota postings in the small hours of the morning. Today, I am doing my quota posting in the big hours of the morning, to get it out of the way before a rather busy day, at the end of which I do not want to be fretting about doing a quota posting. Although, actually, this posting has now turned into something a bit more substantial than that, and I changed the title to something more meaningful. So anyway, yes, cranes:
Ah, cranes! Those structurally perfect votes of confidence in the sky. Those cranes were snapped from the south bank of the river, looking across at The City, on the same day earlier this month that I snapped yesterday's quota photo. What that new Moderately Big Thing is, that some of the cranes there are ministering to, I do not know, but I like how it looks, in its incomplete state.
With Brexit, will the cranes vanish for a few years, until London sorts itself out and finds itself some new business to be doing? Crexit? (You can always tell when a word has well and truly caught on, because people immediately start trying to apply the same verbal formula to other things. Brexit, verbally speaking, is the new Watergate. Frexit, Swexit, Thisgate, Thatgate, etc. etc.) I thought that the cranes were going to depart after 2008 and all that, but the money people managed to keep the plates spinning on their sticks, and London's cranes carried on. How will it be this time?
Here is a very pessimistic piece about Britain's prospects, for the immediately foreseeable future. Does this mean that my crane photo-archive will, in hindsight, be the capturing of a moment of the economic history of London that will now pass? If the cranes do go, how will they look when they return? When the new cranes move in, in ten years time or whenever, will cranes like those above look strangely retro, like digital cameras circa 2005?
Or, will the cranes never return, but instead be replaced by magic electric guns which fill the air with muck and sculpt a building out of the muck, 3D printing style, all in the space of an afternoon?

Taken by me earlier this month:
Blackfriars Station being the one that has its own bridge.
I've not yet checked out this edifice, but of course I will, Real Soon Now. Equally of course, it's what I will be able to see from it that now excites me, rather than any of the stuff I might encounter in it. That top layer of windows looks like it has an open balcony in front of them. I hope to get out there. You can read all you want on the internet about arrangements like this, but there is no substitute for actually going there and seeing for yourself.
But, there is also the matter of other photoers to photo. They may be photoing the stuff inside. If I come across them doing this, then I will, even more of course, join in.
I found a handy little graphic – of Big Things built and Big Things soon to be built in the "Square Mile Cluster" of the City of London – in this piece:
Click to get a bigger and easier-to-read version.
As you can see, the names are all very dull and stupid. The Gherkin is called "30 St Mary Axe", the Cheesegrater is called "122 Leadenhall Street". The "Aviva Tower", which will (if built) be the biggest of the lot (until a bigger one gets built), is far too big and obtrusive to go on being called the "Aviva Tower" indefinitely, by anyone except dull construction magazines terrified of their advertisers. There is also no way that the angular pointy thing (5: "52-54 Lime Street") will remain "52-54 Lime Street". And I see that they even still calling Heron Tower the "Salesforce Tower", which got squashed by public opinion ages ago.
Have these people learned nothing from the example of The Shard? The Shard's owners heard people calling The Shard "The Shard" as soon as they announced it, and said, okay, that's a name we can happily live with, we'll call it that too. That way, there is no confusion. Everyone, even its owners, now calls The Shard The Shard. But refuse to bend with the linguistic breeze, and you end up with a building that you persist in pretending is called "34 Boring Street", but which is really called The Dildo, or some such thing.
But the particular new tower which this article is about, now called "1 Leadenhall", could quite well remain that, because it looks pretty unremarkable. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The fundamental purpose of the City – London, actually – is to get things done, not to look pretty.
But although unremarkable to look at, "1 Leadenhall" may prove very remarkable to look from. For here is yet another City of London Big Thing which will, assuming they mean it, have a viewing gallery at the top. The views of nearby and bigger Big Things will, I surmise, be pretty spectacular.
I actually think that they do mean it, just as they meant it with the Walkie Talkie. The City's rulers seem to be making viewing galleries – free and public viewing galleries – at the top of new City Big Things a condition of planning permission. This is, I surmise, because they want to liven up the City at the weekend, by attracting out-of-City-ers there.
The City at the weekend is now about as exciting as the inside of a coffin. When I visited that model of the City (which at the moment is open only on Fridays and Saturdays), I stayed nearly an hour and saw only two other people there. They want to change that.
Trouble is, one of the things that gives the City at the weekend its coffinian atmosphere is its semi-darkness, on all but the brightest days. This is because of the Big Things of the City are not built with daylight in mind. They are built to create as much office space as possible, and maybe look cool from a distance, and they are now starting to cluster in a solid lump. I recently wrote about the difference between London and New York in this respect. In New York, daylight is a very big deal, and the Big Things of New York have always had to be rather further apart than these new London Big Things.
Here is a photo taken by a friend with her mobile, of a construction site in New York, complete with cranes:
I love it when friends send me snaps of things they know I will like.
I am particularly glad to see New York construction cranes in action. After doing that posting about how there has been no construction in the southern end of Manhattan, mentioning absence of cranes as evidence of no construction, I started to wonder if, in New York, they do things differently. I wondered if they built skyscrapers without using cranes, but just lifting all the stuff up the building, as they built it. Or something. But of course they use cranes in New York, same as everywhere else.
Just to be quite sure about that, I googled "construction cranes new york". And I was greeted with scenes of crane carnage like you would not believe.
Apparently cranes in New York occasionally fall over, and this is the one time when the average person is interested in them. As a result, the average person has a totally distorted idea of the positive contribution made by construction cranes to modern society.

New, big and impressive bridges have been somewhat rare here, recently. All the great bridges of my time seem to have been done at least a decade ago, or of course longer ago. Very recently, not so much. Financial crisis, I guess. Not so much "infrastructure".
But, feast your eyes on this (that being a link to a recent posting about it at Dezeen):
Click on that to get it bigger.
The Guardian has more:
Tabiat ("nature") bridge, the largest of its kind in Iran, was architect Leila Araghian's first project. She designed it five years ago while a student, winning a local competition for a plan to connect two parks separated by a highway in north Tehran.
It was built over two years and was unveiled in late 2014 by Tehran's mayor, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. It has since become a popular place for hangouts and morning sports. Last month, as Iranians celebrated an ancient festival of outdoor picnicking, thousands flocked to the bridge.
"I didn't want it to be just a bridge which people would use to get from one park to another," said Araghian, who is now 31. "I wanted it to be a place for people to stay and ponder, not simply pass."
Built on three large pillars, the 270-metre curved structure has broad entrances, multiple pathways and three floors of restaurants and cafes and sitting areas. It was recently named among the winners of the Architizer A+ awards, a global architectural competition based in New York.
I love it when bridges are not just things to go across, but places to be in. London used to have a great example of such a bridge. It should again.
So I photo this guy outside Westminster Abbey who is wearing a Chicago Lions shirt:
Later I ask him what sport the Chicago Lions play. He doesn't know, but the magic WWW in the sky knows, because it knows everything that there is to be known. Turns out the Chicago Lions play rugby. I couldn't find any Chicago Lions shirts looking like that one, that colour. But I could find no other Chicago sports team called that, so that must be it.
In the course of googling I also came across some Lion statues in Chicago, and further news of how these Lion statues were made to wear Chicago Bears helmets (American football), and Chicago Blackhawks helmets (ice hockey):
Such is the world. Such is Chicago. Such is the internet.

To you, yes, I hope that you had one, but actually what I'm saying is: I did.
England came belting back against Sri Lanka at Lords. After sampling the London weather last night, I had a feeling that might happen. It was not bright and sunny, more overcast and sweaty. It felt like swing bowler weather, which made SL's reply yesterday afternoon (to England's 416) of 162-1 rather strange. Dropped catches apparently. Well, this morning, order was restored and SL are now 218-6. Woakes, luckless yesterday, got a wicket with his first ball. England now look likely winners of that series 3-0. The longer the series goes on, and the more the Lankans get acclimatised (following seriously inadequate practising games), the more it counts beating them. The first game, where SL collapsed twice, meant nothing, I reckon. I've been following the score here.
Deep thanks to Michael Vaughan, who mentioned on one of the bits of cricket commentary I listened to that England were also playing Australia. At rugby. Aus 28 Eng 39. Must have been some game, and according to the BBC live updates, it was.
And before all that, I even managed a quick (they're often the best) Samizdata posting, about something odd I heard on the radio, about the EU.
Here is one of the funner pictures I took while out and about last night, this one taken at the Parliament end of Whitehall:
Great reflections in her sunglasses, right? On the left, as we look, the two devices she is holding, and on the right, you can just see a tiny Big Ben. Is that red thing she is holding a charger?
Plus an elephant.
The onward march of mobile phones into photography continues apace.
I haven't always been blogging here as early as I'd like to in recent days, but today, I did it.
If you had as good a morning as I did, lucky you.

Indeed, with cranes and with intervening roof clutter in the foreground:
One of the oddities of the internet is that if you google new us embassy london, you get lots of Big Boxy Things, all looking different from each other. By which I mean, it's the same box, but the architectural wrapping is different. Basically what you are looking at is all the different guesses or early suggestions about how it was going to look or how people thought it ought to look, which then just hang about for the next few years. Until such time as the Big Boxy Thing is finished, at which point huge numbers of new photos of it will drown out the guesses and the failed propaganda. This makes it hard to know, now, when the Big Boxy Thing is still being constructed, if what you are seeing is the Big Boxy Thing in question, or some other Big Boxy Thing.
But, in among all the imaginings, I found actual photos of the new Embassy as it actually is, in the process of being built, and the above photo is definitely of the actual US Embassy. No doubt about it. More views from the same spot, above my head as I write this, here.
What is happening is that Spook Alley, which starts near Waterloo Station, continues via all those James Bond enterprises in anonymous Big Boxy Things, and then takes in the new MI6 building, is now being added to with an American strip of boxes of comparable scale, further up the river on the south side. This is the Special Relationship in steel and concrete form, and the idea that this relationship is now cooling is visibly absurd. It has never been more solid. A whole new district of London is being created, basically for spying on terrorists, and on anyone else that the spooks take against.
As the rest of London expands down river, towards places like the new Container Port way off to the east, governmental London moves in the other direction, up river, west.

Well, not quite a decade. I've been photoing photoers since well before this, but the first of these particular snaps was taken in July 2007. They illustrate that I have been concerning myself with the photoing of photoers while contriving, in one way or another, not to photo their faces, for a long while now. When I started taking photos of photoers, face recognition was a mere idea, used by implausibly attractive detectives on the telly but not yet a real thing in the real world. Now, with the social media and ubiquitous digital photography, faces (not just big faces but faces in crowds) can be dated and placed and identified, of everyone, and very soon by everyone.
I just picked out a few photos that I like (although, it soon became a bit more than a few). I like them because the pose is fun (6.2, 6.4), or because they're strongly back-lit (1.1, 3.4), or because the screen is so clearly visible (6.1), or because the faces of photoers are hidden by bubbles (7.3), or by a coat (7.1), or by an orange bag with the Eiffel Tower on it (that one is the one snap of these that was not taken in London (that's Paris, Feb 2012)), or because they're photoing through some bars (in this case at the top of the Monument (1.3)), or because they were just too far away (in one of the pods of The Wheel and on the other side of the river (5.3)), or because they are simply facing the other way or holding their cameras (or their arms or their hands holding their cameras (1,2, 1.4, 4.1, 4.3, 5.1, 6.4, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4)) in front of their faces. My favourite face-blocking device here is the blue balloon (2.1) saying visit Mexico. The balloon goes very nicely with the Testicle (click and look on the blue square below if you are baffled). Happy times:
The most recent of these was taken when I was photoing that model of the City of London (8.4). Someone else was also.
After assembling these thirty two snaps, I did more browsing, and I soon realised that I could easily have found another thirty two more, and more, many more, of equal fun-ness.
Like with everything else, good photography comes from doing the same thing again and again.
Here is a picture of the Lower Manhattan end of New York, the bit with the tallest skyscrapers, topped off in 2001 by the Twin Towers:
And here is another picture of the exact same scene, taken fifteen years later in 2016, this time topped off with the single replacement tower for the Twin Towers:
The guy who took these pictures was interested in which photograph is photographically superior. The first one was taken with old-school film and the second is digital.
To me the two pictures look nearly identical. Their technical identicality does not interest me. But their architectural identicality, aside from the Twin Towers alteration, is something that I find fascinating.
Skyscrapers have exploded all over the world in the last decade and a half. New York is one of the world's great cities. And yet, here are two photos of New York taken at opposite ends of the last fifteen years, and aside from the rather dramatic change imposed upon the place by terrorism, nothing at all seems to have changed.
Things were not changing in 2001 and they aren't changing now. Consider the cranes in these pictures. Basically, barring a few microsopically invisible ones, there are no cranes.
I don't know why this is, but it strikes me as an extremely remarkable circumstance.
It's not that you aren't allowed to build towers in New York any longer, unless you are replacing something like the Twin Towers. In the part of New York a bit further to the north, just to the south of Central Park, there is an explosion of skyscrapers under way. Skyscrapers that are very tall, but very thin.
Here is a picture of how these new New York Thin Things look like they will look:
People have long feared that skyscrapers would make all big cities the world over look alike. But the shape of individual skyscrapers varies from city to city, and does the shape of skyscraper clusters as a whole, and as does the variations in the heights of buildings. A city where the newest and tallest towers are a lot taller than the older buildings is one sort of city. A city where new towers are only slightly taller than old ones looks very different.
New York's newest towers are, as I say, these tall Thin Things, a lot taller than their surroundings. In London, the typical new tower is a much fatter looking Thing, the extreme recent case being the Walkie Talkie which is big on the ground compared to its height, and which then bulges outwards as it goes upwards.
Interestingly, the Walkie Talkie is the work of Rafael Vinoly, as is this new Thin Thing in New York. (You can just see the top of this new Thin Thing in the second of the two Lower Manhattan photos above, bottom left, in the foreground. That's the one big change in these photos aside from the Twin Towers having been replaced.) It's like Vinoly wants to do his bit to make great cities look distinct and recognisable, rather than them all looking the same. Good for him.

I constantly walk to St James's Park tube, and often past it. Seldom do I actually notice what is above it, namely the until recently) headquarters of London Underground, 55 Broadway. This evening, on my way to a Libertarian Home meeting, I did notice this extraordinary, Mussolinian edifice:
According to Wikipedia, when 55 Broadway was completed in the late nineteen twenties, it was the tallest office building in London.
Yes, quota photo time. I have spent the day doing ... other things, and am in that familiar tizz of having to shove up any old thing before going to bed. So here is another snap, to add to the one I earlier showed of all those bridges, of that model of the City of London, in the City of London, which I visited last Saturday:
The point of this picture being that it doesn't just show what is there now. It shows what it is intended will soon be built.
The biggest of those Big Things there is, I presume, this.
Isn't it terrible how horrible modern skyscrapers are ruining the view of the Gherkin.
I was very proud of this photo of seven London bridges ...:
… when I first posted it here.
Today I took another photo of these same seven bridges:
I said I'd check this model of the City of London out, and today I did.
I wish this model included Westminster as well as the City, but it's a model of the City.

About this design:
After I cut my fingers up with the wire work I did (seriously, like papercuts on my thumbs and 2 other fingers!) - I switched to some metal pieces in my stash. And bravely added some fabric!
Components:copper sheet, Vintaj embossing dies, Vintaj patinas, various glass beads, sari silk ribbon
Read the comments (or add your own)
These are wild and wonderful, Cindy – - especially like the orange one !
Love the touches of sari silk…they add some softness to the beautiful metal work.
Love these and appreciate the color with the outside still so white!
Really nice and colorful. The fabric touch is great.
Absolutely wonderful focals! My, I wish I could make something like them. Bravo!
Awesome, Cindy!!Love it
These are beautiful — especially love the focal pieces! How do you make those? (Not expecting step-by-step, but maybe there is a name for the technique or something so I could find tutorials? Thank you! ^^ )
Beautiful metalwork…love the colors and all the elements mixed together!
I love these – just beautiful – wonderful work!
Love these! Fabulous work!
Fabulous – I especially love the orange one. Where did you get the copper clasp. That is so cool. I'm so in love with copper these days.
Beautiful, Cindy! Now I want to make some!
Thanks for all the comments! I am falling in love again with the Patinas.
@ErinM this is plain copper that is cut to size and placed in an embossing die. Look up Vintaj Big Kick (LB has it) as well as info on Vintaj.com. I painted it with Vintaj patina colors ( also LB) then buff it so the raised parts of the design get the paint removed.
@GrannyNancy – got the clasp at a local bead store (Bead Stash). Forgot I had that!
Love the orange one
Hi Cindy. These are so playful and happy. Your work is inspiring.I really like the little splash of pink with the orange. One of my fav color combos.
Ouch ouch about whose wire cuts. Omg,I'd be on Morphine!! I hope they head quickly. ;+(…..
Thank you so much for tips, Cindy!
Stunning-I can't pick a favorite! I hear you on the wire cuts-my fingers are always killing me after a day of jewelry making! That's why I have to rest sometimes-that and early onset arthritis due to double jointed fingers. Your pieces are always lovely, and these are no exception! Your work with copper is so inspirational-I can't wait to see what you create next. Keep it up! =^__^=
I love both, can't decide! I wish I could incorporate fabric and make it look that good, but I never order any sari silk, and haven't found a good substitute… About the copper — I just feel how it creeps into the back of my mind, to burst out as an new idea someday… Thanks!
Wow Cindy!!! They are both just fantastic!! Fabulous work with the patinas I also cant decide which I like best.
Both of these are just wonderful. I love the blue one the best.
Both are just great! You patina work is awesome!
Wow, more thanks to you all. What I decided to do with the patina is ignore most of the suggestions on using it. .
I dab it on with q-tips or sponges, I mix colors before using, I paint with it like water colors (with the glaze), layer it, and heat set with my hair dryer.
Usually adding fabric is not my thing, which is why I mentioned it. It's a challenge to myself. And you Monica!
I love what you've done with both of these! Your patina work is awesome too. The orange is so vibrant and happy, yet I love the blue against the copper and the ribbon you added. Nice touch!
I feel your woes of metal working. Most days I have calluses, cut and cracks all over. For me it's exacerbated by my eczema (since childhood) and the fact that I live in the desert. Dry skin and the desert don't mix. I can't wait to get back to Florida where my skin was sooo happy! (and me too)
Now that I see them on this background I am really in love with them love the colors.
These are fabulous! One for each wrist with a smashing Santa Fe dress to accessorise them. Your work is always so intriguing to view, especially in close-up where the details are truly appreciated.
Wow! These are fabulous!. Into my faves as well
You did a fabulous job with the embossing and patina! Fantastic use of the ribbon as well. Beautiful!!
Beautiful, beautiful colors!

Off-campus PhD degrees not to be recognised: Assam govt
Guwahati: With a view to maintaining standard in teaching, Assam government has decided to go for quality parameters under which, off-campus PhD degrees will not be recognised during recruitment and promotion of faculty.
Even serving faculties with off-campus PhD degrees who have got time-scale promotions during recent years will be affected, state Education and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said in the Assembly on Thursday.
"In the past few years we have seen a rising trend of research scholars opting for universities where rules are relaxed and there is less academic pressure. In many cases, even to find details about such universities, is a work of research in itself," Sarma said.
"Such scholars are not capable of proper research work, and when confronted they seek excuse in the name of `humanity` and even threaten to commit suicide at times. If we do not take steps against such blackmailing, the education scenario will only worsen," he said.
"Those who have got promotions due to PhD secured in off-campus stream, will also be affected. No doubt it will create some issues, but we are going as per UGC rules," he said.
"The state government will form a committee, which will prepare a list of teachers having off-campus PhDs after contacting principals of all colleges, who will be served notices and we will take action," Sarma said.

Pupil with leukaemia dies aged 15 just one day after classmates walked out of school when they were told they couldn't wear charity bracelets to support him
- Joel Smith died last Thursday, one day after pupil protest on Wednesday
- Police called in when 100 pupils left lessons at Bilton School in Rugby
- Told they could only wear 'Team Joel' bracelets on a non-uniform day
- School says it's supporting pupils and families at 'sad and difficult time'
A 15-year-old boy has died of leukaemia just hours after his classmates went on strike when their school banned them from wearing charity bracelets to support him.
Joel Smith, a Year 11 pupil at Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire, died last Thursday evening - one day after police were called in when 100 students walked out of lessons.
The schoolchildren had been told they could only wear 'Team Joel' beaded bracelets - made and sold by his family to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust - on a non-uniform day next month.
Tragic case: Joel Smith, a Year 11 pupil at Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire, died last Thursday evening
Controversy: Police were called by teachers when 100 pupils walked out of lessons at Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire, after being told they could only wear 'Team Joel' bracelets (pictured) on a non-uniform day
Pupils who wanted to wear the wristbands in support of Joel at other times were told they would be violating the uniform policy. But last Wednesday, pupils mounted a protest on the school field.
A Bilton School spokesman said: 'We will continue to work with our students and families to support the whole school community at this extraordinarily sad and difficult time.'
The school added that it would say nothing more 'out of our deepest respect for Joel Smith's family'.
Joel's friends took to Twitter to express their sadness at his death. Charly McLeod said: 'Rest in paradise Joel - heaven has granted another perfect angel. Gone but never forgotten. Team Joel.'
Made by his family: Wristbands in support of leukaemia sufferer Joel Smith and the Teenage Cancer Trust
Showing their support: Pupils at Bilton School in Rugby showed whose side they were on last week
And Cheryl Edwards wrote: 'R.I.P Joel. Lost his battle to cancer. Never to be forgotten, always in our hearts. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.'
'We will continue to work with our students and families to support the whole school community at this extraordinarily sad and difficult time'
Bilton School spokesman
Following the strike last Wednesday, mother Emma Howell told the Daily Mirror that she would be backing her daughter Laura's participation in it, despite her missing a mock examination.
She said: 'I support my daughter. The only resolution I can see is if the school back down because the pupils are very passionate about this, and I can't see them letting it go.'
The school said it had responded several weeks ago to a request from the children to have a non-uniform day for Joel, and he had requested that pupils wear blue and white coloured clothing.
Support for staff and pupils: A Bilton School statement said it was an 'extraordinarily sad and difficult time'
Reasoning: The school said it had responded several weeks ago to a request from the children to have a non-uniform day for Joel, and he had requested that pupils wear blue and white coloured clothing
Firm stance: Bilton School refused to let its pupils wear a charity bracelet in support of the pupil every day
This was planned for April 11, but the school also told pupils that the bracelets could only be sold and worn on that day - a policy which caused much anger among the children last week.
A spokesman said: 'We spoke to students and said that they could show their support by attaching the bracelets to bags or keys but not wear them as bracelets, in order to comply with our policies.
'This has been the topic of quite extensive social media comment over the last two days, culminating in a call from students and parents for students to strike yesterday [last Wednesday].
'Although this was a largely peaceful event, we called the police who supported us in evaluating the safety of staff and students, which is paramount to us.'
Punishment: The school said it explained to the students how it was helping Joel and his family, and those who quickly returned to lessons would make up the lost learning time during detentions
Doing their bit: The school said it had responded several weeks ago to a request from students to have a non-uniform day for Joel, and he had requested that students wear blue and white coloured clothing
The school added that it then told pupils how it was helping Joel and his family - and the many of them who quickly returned to lessons would make up the lost learning time during detentions.
But the spokesman continued: 'There were a small minority of students whose actions can only be described as anti-social and potentially dangerous who used this as an opportunity to be disruptive.
'These students were putting pressure on others not to go back into classrooms and contacted the press. We will be evaluating the actions we will be taking with these students over the next few days.'
The Facebook page 'Spotted: Rugby Town' had been inundated with angry comments when the ban on bracelets was announced, with some people branding the decision 'disgraceful'.

Petr Cech would welcome Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney at Chelsea.
Rooney has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with showdown talks between the England international and boss David Moyes believed to be taking place this week.
Stamford Bridge has been mooted as a possible destination and Cech believes it would be a good move for the 27-year-old.
"I could see him in a Chelsea shirt. Players can change shirts and obviously he had a fantastic career with Manchester United and sometimes players need new challenges," the Czech goalkeeper told Sky Sports News.
"So if that happened, obviously he is a fantastic player and he will be welcomed to our squad, but now we are only in the moment of speculations about it so we will see what this week will bring."
Securing Rooney's services would certainly underline Chelsea's ambition to claim the Premier League title, a feat they achieved twice under Jose Mourinho.
Cech feels that the returning boss has strong ideas about how he wants to make the squad his own and insisted that plenty of players would be tempted by the opportunity to play for him.
"I could see anybody in a Chelsea shirt, it depends if Jose Mourinho wants to see those players in the Chelsea shirt," he continued.
"So I believe that he has his own ideas about the team, he knows exactly what he wants in the team. And as I said, now the transfer window opens and we will see what will be the movement in our squad in reality."

Drug-taking teachers let back into class: Official rules allow convicted users to keep job
- Rules from National College for Teaching and Leadership passed by Department of Education allows cannabis and gambling criminal records
- Critics warn drink, drug and driving offenders set bad example for pupils
- Guidance on sexual misconduct and supplying drugs tightened
Change: Teachers who have been convicted of smoking cannabis, using amphetamines or shoplifting will not be banned from the classroom, state rules which have come to light
Teachers convicted of drug offences or theft are to be allowed back into the classroom.
A criminal record for smoking cannabis, using amphetamines or shoplifting need not bar them from continuing their jobs, official guidance states.
Certain gambling, alcohol and driving offences are also not enough to see a teacher removed from their post, the National College for Teaching and Leadership said.
Last night campaigners said routinely allowing such offenders to continue to teach would set a bad example to their pupils.
'The job of a teacher is not just to impart knowledge to learners, it is to give them moral guidance,' said David Green, from the Civitas think-tank.
'You can't give moral leadership if you yourself don't set an example.
'If you've been found guilty of the possession of drugs, it implies you at least use them.'
The official guidance from the NCTL has been sanctioned by the Department for Education. It covers when disciplinary panels should issue prohibition orders, which bar teachers whose conduct has fallen below expected standards from working in any classroom.
The guidance tightens the rules in some areas – making it clear that teachers guilty of sexual misconduct and/or any crime involving indecent images of children should be kicked out, as should those convicted of supplying drugs.
But for other drug offences leading to a conviction or caution, teachers should not be prohibited from teaching unless class-A substances – such as heroin, cocaine and ecstasy – are involved, it says.
Offences involving class-B and C drugs, including cannabis and speed, would not mean an automatic prohibition order.
Last night, a Department for Education source said: 'Obviously, teachers should be strongly disciplined if they have committed theft or used drugs. We are absolutely clear that teachers can be banned for life.
Example: We need teachers to give moral leadership for children, which drug offenders cannot do, critics claim
'Heads are responsible for considering whether a lesser punishment, such as suspension or dismissal, is more appropriate.'
A DfE spokesman said: 'What is important is keeping children safe. But it is also important that cases are dealt with individually, based on the specific circumstances.
'We have tightened guidelines to make the system tougher than ever.'
The spokesman added: 'It is wrong to say that teachers won't be barred for these offences.'
But Mr Green said: 'It would not be compatible with a teaching job if someone is found guilty of an offence of drug possession. It would imply that the teacher did not feel there was anything wrong in taking drugs, which hardly sets a good example.'
The same principle applied to theft, he said.
'You can't give moral leadership if you yourself don't set an example'
- David Green, Civitas think-tank
Norman Wells, of the Family Education Trust, said: 'Although a lifetime ban from teaching would in many cases be too severe a penalty for more minor offences, schools and professional conduct hearing panels cannot afford to turn a blind eye.
'In order to safeguard the reputation of the teaching profession and to send a clear message to pupils that drug, alcohol and theft offences – no matter how minor – are not to be tolerated, some form of disciplinary action is called for.'
The NCTL guidance says each case needs to be considered on its merits, raising the prospect that teachers convicted of very serious offences could be allowed to continue to teach in some circumstances.
Latest figures show that, in 2012/13, 98 prohibition orders were issued.
Four years ago, an investigation found that dozens of teachers with convictions were being allowed to stay in the classroom. Some guilty of crimes including harassment, battery, assault, indecent exposure, indecent assault and possessing class-A drugs had not been banned.

'It's been hell... I'm not going to lie': Michelle Heaton reveals baby son Aaron is home after being rushed to hospital with meningitis
Michelle Heaton has spoken of her relief after her baby son Aaron was allowed to go home following a hospital stay for viral meningitis.
The 34-year-old singer's son was rushed into hospital last week suffering from the condition, but has now been deemed well enough to return home.
However, Michelle admitted that she and husband Hugh Hanley won't know if there has been any permanent damage to Aaron until he gets older.
Scroll down for video
Home again: Michelle Heaton has revealed that baby Aaron is home after being treated in hospital for viral meningitis
She tweeted on Wednesday: 'Our beautiful baby boy Aaron Jay Hanley is home now and we couldnt be happier. It has been hell, I'm not going lie and only time will tell if Aaron has been physically or mentally effected with having had viral meningitis.
But the chances are slight so we just pray he will be one of the lucky ones! We certainly are to get our little man home. Faith has been the best big sister ever, nursing him every day, now time for Lots of cuddles and family time.
'I love my family .. More then words can say! & @hughhanley is our rock! Luv you baby xxx'
Michelle previously revealed her fears after Aaron was diagnosed with the condition - which causes inflammation in the lining of the brain and spinal cord.
Growing brood: Hugh and Michelle introduced baby AaronJay in an exclusive shoot and video for OK! Online
What a cutie: Michelle gave birth to Aaron on 28th February
In addition, baby Aaron was also suffering from Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) - a condition where stomach acid leaks into the oesophagus.
She tweeted last Sunday: 'The
last 24 hours has been the worst and scariest in my life. With
Everything I've been through mentally and physically nothing, I mean
nothing, compares to that of when your baby is sick.
'Our beautiful baby boy has been very looked after in hospital after being diagnosed with viral meningitis.
'And reflux disease just to top it off. He's fighting strong & taking the antibiotics well so far.. But at only 5 weeks old one can only imagine our @hughhanley distress as parents.
'He's very sick and in pain with the reflux. The hospital are amazing and he's well looked after. Hopefully we will be able to take our little man home soon. I'm sure we will.'
And after messages of support from friends including Atomic Kitten's Liz McLarnon, Michelle added: 'Thank you all for your messages of support. We have read them all, and it means allot .. So thank you. Xx'
Doting mother: Michelle is also mother to two-year-old Faith with husband Hugh Hanley
Michelle gave birth to Aaron Jay, her second child with husband Hugh Hanley, on February 28th.
Following Aaron's birth, Michelle gave an interview to Lorraine Kelly in which she admitted she ad Hugh had considered giving up on having another baby after she was diagnosed with a mutated BRCA2 gene.
Untreated, the diagnosis gives those with the inherited gene and 80% chance of developing breast cancer and 30% chance of developing ovarian cancer – meaning the singer made the incredibly difficult decision of having a double mastectomy.
She said: 'We just didn't know because
obviously the BRCA gene that I have, getting my ovaries removed is
something that's going to happen and we didn't really know when.
'There's no right answer – I suppose the longer you leave it the higher the risk is that you're going to get ovarian cancer so we were contemplating not having any more children.'
Now that she and Hugh are parents to baby Aaron, as well as two-year-old daughter Faith, Michelle is planning her ovary removal surgery – athough she
admitted the prospect of another surgical procedure is nerve wracking.
She said: 'Baby Aaron was a bit of a surprise
so we though this is God's way of telling us to have one more and then
we move on with the operation.
'They ask you to wait a couple of months after you've given birth so that your hormones all settle down before you start on HRT and whatever else. I don't really know all the answers – it's all a bit scary.'
