I was going with something else for today, but London 1853 (our 24 hour shoot in London on the 19th and 20th January) is taking off and I'm so excited about it, that I really can't think of anything else…
Whilst I've been away, a new Japanese restaurant has opened around the corner. I was admiring the plants outside and was trying to work out if they were real. Indeed they are, but their interestingness has less to do with…
Having just discovered the book "Dark Lens" by Cedric Delsaux, I've become something of a fan, so this is my homage to him. As I don't have a hotline to George Lucas, and so don't have the rights to…
This may look like a very ordinary graffiti tag (although the passing by of the policewoman was somewhat fortuitous) - and indeed it is. However, this might be used as part of a larger project, the inspiration from which came…
On reflection, this doesn't bear any relation to the graveyard scene from The Third Man - wrong avenue, wrong character facing the wrong way, but I did get the hat! The Viennese take death very seriously and the day was…
Always good to start the New Year with a trip to the Rathausplatz to watch the New Year's Day concert on the big screen. The cold air blows away the cobwebs from the night before, whilst the hot punch and…
Where has the year gone? It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were doing all this to see in 2012. Definitely a day for being a flaneur and seeing all the preparations for the big Silvester party tonight!
Now that the weather has improved, I want to start putting together a Viennese collection in the style of Harry Weber. No such collection would be complete without a typical tram shot.
... with a stroll along the Guertel. Filthy light and filthy weather meant that the chance for shooting some urbanalia was sacrificed in favour of curling up on the sofa with a good film or two.
This wasn't quite what I wanted for today, but my shutter button has jammed, which means that the camera shudders each time I depress it and by the time I'd depressed it on this shot, the girls had moved out…
After waking up to a world covered in snow, my excitement soon turned to disappointment as the heavens opened and washed it all away. At least we were able to get a warm tram home, unlike the poor old Fiaker…
The punch vendor enjoying a slurp. An early trip to the shops meant that the Christmas shopping was finished by 11.00, which gave MisterMac and I plenty of time for a wander around the Christmas market, a mug of punch…
Well you could have knocked me down with a feather! There we were strolling through Heathrow when I suddenly saw Brian's face beaming out at me from this poster!
Given how busy London is in the run-up to Christmas, I was surprised to see Starbucks so empty. Just a lonely soul and a pair of pink soles. If only I liked the coffee, I would have gone in for…
This was one of the highlights (literally) of the day but the other is the momentum that our planned 24h hour photo shoot "London 1853" is gathering. Details on the RPS website here. This is going to be a marathon…
