Left Out


The way the girl is gazing off into the distance makes it look like she wasn't included in the trio's game, but she wasn't really. She was just looking towards her mother who was out of frame.

The camera sometimes lies.

Boats and More Boats

Also pedalos.


It was the right-left-right-left, fading into the distance that I liked.

2 Sides to Every Story

I saw this scrawled on a pavement somewhere in central London (I don't really remember where exactly).


As well as the obvious, I also liked the earthy colours and ambient lighting of the whole scene.

I remember thinking it looked kind of intriguing, but very out of place. It wasn't near any buildings of significance (government, etc) where the "message" might have had some impact, it was just under a tunnel of scaffolding. You usually end up finding interesting scenes in weird places.

Black, White & Blue


(Regents Park)

The bending reflections of those vertical bars in the water was the first thing that caught my attention. I wanted more than just an abstract image so I waited a few moments for some of the local wildfowl to appear in frame. Fortunately for me the birds that decided to do so were a black and a white one, paddling (floating? wading?) in opposite directions.

Alien Terrain





This picture reminds me of satellite photography, showing blocks of buildings, areas of Autumnal woodland and large bodies of water. There's even scattered clouds in the top right corner. It's actually the top of an old wooden post I'd seen on the bank of the Thames.

This was a way more interesting photo opp than The Shard (I love The Shard, but I've seen it so many times that it can get ordinary-looking) and it's always a nice change of pace to find something less obvious when you're surrounded by tourist attractions.
