Three Ways
Been going through a bit of a creative wilderness the last few weeks or what writers call “writers block”…….hence the lack of updates. It’s been so bad I have been out in London for hours with the camera and come back with NOTHING….. not one picture…ZERO. Before I took this picture I looked at a…

Green on Blue
A wet, gloomy and miserable day in Central London and nothing very much inspiring in photographic terms UNTIL I went through the subways at the BFI Imax and saw this blue subway with green lights. A couple of people came through but didn’t really make the frame UNTIL a woman came through with a GREEN…

Top Cuvee
Top Cuvee? Was going to call this EYES but that’s too obvious so Top Cuvee it is. It’s a restaurant apparently, but it’s more about the whole picture. I saw this when I was in North London a couple of weeks ago (see Islington photo) in the Islington/Highbury/Finsbury Park sort of area. It looks like…

Looked down into the pea soup saw MY silhouette and thought “there you go” and the rest is history. A lovely…

Rotherhithe Tunnel
I don’t know why, I just love tunnels? Needed a break from pounding the streets of the West End and City so a moment of madness and a painterly? photo of the Rotherhithe Tunnel that goes under the Thames in East London. Didn’t think you could walk through it, but you can (paths just visible…

Leake St
Leake Street aka The Banksy Tunnel under Waterloo Station SE1. No Abstract London blog would be complete without a Leake St photo. Gone with Black and White which focuses the mind more on the light and shade than colour. This photo has been taken many times (just Google it) but this is MY interpretation of…
