Proms in the Park = surreal
The BBC Proms was something that needs to be experienced to be believed. My thought process when someone tried to explain it to me went something like this. Proms, but no a prom. Not the American version with drunk teenagers misbehaving in dark corners. Oh that could happen but under a giant British flag? Oh… Continue reading Proms in the Park = surreal
Silver lining
The week in review. Can’t sleep, lack of sleep, lost concentration, endless days blurring into negative days and no energy. Thank goodness it’s Friday and I will be in the city for work for Monday!
European Weekender Part 1
Twenty four hours ago I was walking down the streets of Brussels with the London Flickr Meetup Group for a nocturnal shoot lasting from dusk to dawn. The weather was thankfully much warmer than the London shoot and I was able to keep my delirium until just before dawn. It still amazes me how easy… Continue reading European Weekender Part 1
Life so far
Life is oddly getting back to normal. Often times it feels like I live in an odd pararell universe for working in the same company. Having friends over for a roast dinner helped to make life feel ordinary again. Things I’ve done lately in no particular order: – Wander around the streets of London for… Continue reading Life so far

I didn’t know what to expect and had this image of Alan Moore as a rather… Continue reading Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie
London Pride 2008 (and seeing Ian McKellen)
When my housemate said, do you want to go to Pride this Saturday I had no idea what he was talking about London Pride. Turned out, he was talking about , the London version of the Sydney Mardigras, similar but not the same. Pride starts in the morning here, and it felt a little strange… Continue reading London Pride 2008 (and seeing Ian McKellen)
So many to see, so little to shoot
“The circle line will not be in service on account of a person under a train at Monument” I couldn’t quite believe my ears, but judging from everyone else’s reaction this happens often enough for it to be a non-event. I can’t quite shake the feeling that London reminds me a lot of Sydney, I… Continue reading So many to see, so little to shoot
Living life in London
The uncanny good weather is making it very difficult to dislike London. The first time I turned up on this side of the world was in December, it rained every day, windy and the chill in the air seemed to enter my bone everytime I stepped out. London in summer, is quite simply glorious. My… Continue reading Living life in London
