The Tate Modern

Seems like so long ago, but it's still not a fortnight since I was in London. I love this building: not sure how you'd describe it architecturally, but it's high on powerstation-chic.

Highgate Cemetery

My interest and affection for Victorian Gothic cemeteries is well documented by now, and last Sunday I had the chance to visit Highgate in North London. It really is the ultimate Gothic cemetery. I took most of these shots with a view to making them monochrome, but some worked best in colour.

Day 310

Just flew in from London, and boy are my arms tired. Seriously though.............

I finished work reasonably early today, so I took a trip out to Brompton cemetery. My interest in cemeteries is pretty well documented by now, and this one had everything on my list: crypts, angels, catacombs, the lot! I knew straight away that it would be a monochrome image: I was in a very Bob Carlos Clark frame of mind. This is my favorite image from the day, but it was a tough call. I should have more days like today!

Day 309

Last night in the edit suite. The next suite I'm in is unlikely to have steel guitars provided, so now is the time to take advantage.

Day 308

Day two of Other Voices, but the first show that doesn't coincide with a Leinster match so I was there. Wilton's really looks impressive, and Dexys were the perfect band to kick off the night.

Day 307

A half hour to spare and a quick trip down to Tower Bridge. It's a grey day in London, and without the time to find a good vantage point the bridge looks like just another tourist attraction. Instead I was drawn to this rather cool sculpture near St Katharine's Dock. Minimal post work, just enough to bring some detail in to the sky.

Day 306

First day in a new edit suite is always interesting: where do they keep the tea bags, what's the story with Internet access, do you have any pianos with camels on, that sort of thing. This place has it all, assuming that all comprises of musical instruments everywhere and people sleeping in the foyer. Still, it's definitely the most interesting place I've set up shop. Other Voices has landed in London.
