Some old faces

A peculiar night – some people that I worked with about 12 years ago. Haven’t seen most of them in the interim period.
I’d like to say they really haven’t changed – but the best I can do is conceede they have changed in an alarmingly predictable fashion!

Blue Thursday

Time to get back on the horse – had my 550d stolen … but the 450d still works.
Will stop sulking.
Patiently waiting for 7d to wing its way from Hong Kong.
Patience
Patience
Patience

Anyway – this is kind of what it looks like on the way to a normal work day. With a bit of added blue.
And the wrong WB just for fun.

My Most Favouritest James EVER.

Tall, dark and organised. One day I’m going to be just like him … except maybe the tall part.

Steps retraced

This is where I was on Friday but didn’t really notice because I was either talking too much, or trying to keep up with James and Patrick – who are both eight foot tall and walk a bit faster than me…

I had to ask for special permission to go into the recycling place – which was a bit exciting as the blokey in charge told me I wasn’t really allowed to be there but that he’d give me 5 minutes. Scamper scamper scamper snap snap snap.

Barrowboy and Banker

Forecast

So – I am beginning to realise more and more that to be a really good photographer , for some kinds of pictures you really have to have an idea of what you want BEFORE you shoot. It’s not always enough to be in the right place at the right time.

I want some fairly standard pictures of my High Street , a collection of full street scenes and close up details. A mixture of B&W and colour.

The place is a bit dilapidated but has lots of multi cultural charm. Can I go out and capture any of this??

Let’s see ….. Here we go  – laters.

Sunday Best

Met this delightful trio on my wanderings. They’d been to The Church at the Grand in Clapham Junction.

All properly wasted – but happy to have their photo taken by a random stranger …

Looking for a place to shoot

Went out yesterday evening looking for some quirky locations for future shoots. Am still a bit obsessed with little grungy urban corners.

All I need now are some models to put in them …
