Smoking In Lisbon
As mentioned, I recently went to Lisbon with some friends. A full set of photography is available on Flickr – street and standard. My favourite street image from the trip is the above. Smokers are interesting – perhaps it’s their action that separates them from the everyday person. This image is particularly well composed – two ...
On The Edge of Chinatown
With the end of the Japan photos approaching, I’ll be back to sharing shots of London. I’ve got plenty to get through and some really nice B&W photographs.
