Recently at home

A couple of hoodlums, one Buddy and an artist at work.

Walking the camera

So here’s some of what I saw on my stroll in town at the beginning of the week. It’s been ages since I’ve been out actively taking pictures, as opposed to just being out and about, and by chance having my camera on me. There’s a huge difference. I recently watched an old documentary following Joel Meyerowitz shooting on the street (sadly the picture quality is rubbish), and it was so exciting to see how he worked and what he thought about what he saw, when he saw it. There’s a huge treasure trove of old documentaries about famous photographers on YouTube that I’ve only just discovered, and I’m looking forward to diving into them soon. And my intention for 2020 is… to take pictures more intently. Hehe.

Sitting out on the bench

The sun has been out for a few days, and I knew that it wouldn’t last, so I took my camera out for a walk in town on Monday. I walked streets I’ve never been on before, and ended up in St James’ Park, where I sat down on a bench, soaking up the rays and resting my legs. After a while I started taking pictures of people walking past, trying to catch them at the moment they blocked the sun - ‘cause you know how I loves me some silhouettes. Hopefully it’ll be sunny again soon, as it would be fun to collect some more of these.
