5 Photographs: London in Winter

Continue reading 5 Photographs:  London in Winter

London in Winter. When the sun disappears at 4:30, and the gray buildings reflect the gray sky and the gray trees, all moments of colour stand in contrast. Upon exiting the underground, on the edge of Hyde Park, the famous blue and red symbol glows in the darkening sky, London. On the edge of Hyde [...]

London Abstract Photographs: Signs in the Underground [Fragment 5]

Continue reading London Abstract Photographs:  Signs in the Underground [Fragment 5]

Three signs, from the London Underground, in an effort to keep us, the general public, safe. ‘Take Care After Drinking Alcohol’ says the sign, which I found beautiful, after drinking some alcohol and attempting to look sober on the platform. The lilting angle of the photographs is not the world turning on its axis, but [...]

In December of 2009 I spent six days wandering about London, just looking around with my camera. Look up is spray painted in the corner of a brick wall, for no reason what-so-ever. All that was up was the sky, and maybe some sun. Must be one of those intellectual statements about seeing things differently. [...]

In December of 2009 I spent six days wandering about London, just looking around with my camera. Memorial for the ‘Glorious Dead’ standing in the middle of Parliament Street, between Trafalgar Square and Houses of Parliament, London England.

In December of 2009 I spent six days wandering about London, just looking with my camera. In the center of London, next to the theatres, is Leicester Square. The square was filled with carnival games impossible to win, cars spinning in puke circles, and the statues stood quietly looking on, displaying no emotion. At the [...]

In December of 2009 I spent six days wandering about London, just looking around with my camera. Hidden underground, at the Hyde Park Corner station, is the simple and typical red, blue and white circle and rectangle that symbolizes all that is the London Underground. Standing on a corner, watching the world flow by at [...]

Uncategorizable Photo: London Science Museum, WC Exhibition

Continue reading Uncategorizable Photo:  London Science Museum, WC Exhibition

    Of all the photographs I took in London in December of 2009, there was one that obstinately would not fit in any category.     In the basement of the London Science Museum is a ‘How Things Work’ exhibit. This is an obviously older exhibit, as most of the items look to be from the 1950′s, but [...]

Kew Gardens, London

Continue reading Kew Gardens, London

The infamous Kew Gardens is about to celebrate it’s 250th year. Kew has always been on my list of places to visit, not because of the vegetation, but because of the history.  Everywhere in the world I have traveled, it seems there were pioneers there, 200 years before me, that were sent by Kew, or [...]

London: A Different Camden Locks

Continue reading London: A Different Camden Locks

     I remember Camden Locks being dirty and dangerous. Not dangerous to me, because I had the look, and walked the walk. But dangerous to those uptight Thatcherites in their public school clothing.      This was almost 20 years ago now, but I remember the leather jackets, (which I wore), the alternative band t-shirts (I had Jesus [...]
