Don't tell Tesco that 'decadent' means having low moral standards or being morally wrong and evil.

Camera: Fujifilm X-E1. Lens: Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 XF R.

Nikon D40 + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens.

Nikon D2Xs and AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm lens.

every time i go to tesco i try to park in a newspace and then when i get home i tickitoff on my big plan that i made on the back of a roll of wallpaper sometimes when i am leaving tesco i see a space i have never parked in before and if it is not too busy i nip into it and park a second time to qualify for the wallpaper chart i have to have parked for at least ten minutes this is my own rule otherwise people would notice and say i was eccentric to pass ten minutes i go back into the store and join a long queue with a newspaper or a magazine but if it is a nice day i go over to the perimeter of the car park where there is a hedge and i pretend to be interested in photographing wildlife they call me the tesco photographer but i couldn’t care less about photography i just like tickingoff the spaces only 73 left now mostly disabled and mothers with children could be a problem

The streets of England are squalid. It is a national disgrace. Our politicians are weak-willed and pusillanimous. It was not always thus. Canon EOS 30D and EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM lens. The settings for this photograph were ISO 200; focal length 65mm; speed 1/200th; aperture f/8. I am astounded by the clarity.

When I gaze on this casually photographed and unplanned image, I think of 'Nighthawks' by Edward Hopper, and I don't know why because this is nothing like 'Nighthawks'. However, Steve Bucknell of this website has explained it elsewhere (flickr) thus: It gives a similar sense of late night isolation, ephemerality, bright artificial light and deep contrasting dark. That's why.
