We took the train into Victoria, then made the mistake of walking to the National Gallery past Buckingham Palace just as the changing of the guard was set to begin. We were penned in and were allowed to go neither forward nor backward for about 20 minutes, stuck in a crowd of tourists with volunteers warning of pickpockets. But, of course, nothing can be said to have happened unless it’s been captured on a phone.

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’m not sure what this dog was looking at, but he maintained this pose long enough for me to get out my camera, get it on and focused and take a few shots. He was very still and focused.

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.

Night Walk

I liked the combination of yellow and blue light in the misty night, with the mystery of the silhouetted pedestrian.
