I went to Photo London this year at the new location at Olympia. And I happened upon Joel Meyerowitz showing his work.

A panoramic view of a crowded exhibition space with people engaging in conversation, browsing tables filled with books and other items, and displaying art on the walls.

I created panorama of the photobook area with 4 or 5 images and captured the woman in the black jacket on the right in 2 frames, breaking photography’s claim to capture a moment in time.

I’ve been casting about for a new project and not taking a lot of pictures lately. Hence it’s back to the archives for now. I’m looking at images I failed to keyword in my catalogue – that should also mean I haven’t posted them here before.

The last time we shot from the Palace Pier and thought we’d be closer at the Doughnut (Afloat). This time we shot from the Doughnut and wondered if we wouldn’t have been better at the Palace Pier. Or, perhaps, the best view was had by the swimmers in the frigid waters.
