candid

In the evening of our tours through Richmond and Clapham we were thrilled to attend the private view (opening) of my course-mate Naoto Yoshida’s collaborative show, Un/Masked, at the Aperture (UK) Gallery in Mayfair.

Abba Adonai

Mayfair

After the Moriyama show at The Photographers’ Gallery, we went on to the Flowers Gallery where I was hoping to see Edward Burtynsky’s new work but I’d misread the web site and that show wouldn’t be opening for weeks. We went on from there, through Mayfair, to the Richard Saltoun Gallery for an excellent event dedicated to the launch of 2 new Hannah Arendt books. A perfect end to the day!

Photographers’ Gallery

Our next stop was the massive Daido Moriyama show at The Photographers’ Gallery.

Boarding Point

Christmas Week

We visited with family in London on 23rd December and walked through festive streets (Villiers St and Bond St, shown here).

Style

Sitting in the cafeteria at school I noticed this young woman at the next table, fully enjoying her style and her companion projecting his (see below). They kindly consented to be photographed while they carried on their conversation.

After the Parade

Skate Park Graffiti

I don’t know the history but there are several graffiti areas in the vicinity of Waterloo Station and the Southbank. I’ve previously shown the graffiti tunnel. I found more along the River Thames edge that had been turned into an open air, underground skate park.
