This is kind of an ode to “NothingtobeSaid”. I sit opposite the bloke in work and we often spend five minutes over a cuppa at lunch debating the merits of certain pictures, the objectivity of art and other such topics.
We have a very different style. Whilst I’m trying to find mine, Andrew is very into his street photography – urban architecture, people, that sort of thing.
We also have a very different approach to kit. Whilst I spend hideous sums on digital cameras and lenses, he spends similar on film cameras and lenses… OK, maybe not that different.
He’s been on at me for weeks to try street photography, but I’m not sure it’s me. the idea of taking a photograph of someone in a street is a bit too hard core for me at the moment.
Still, you sometimes have to try these things.

I’ve said before about my reluctance to put pictures of people on this site. As I gain experience, my attitude to this is changing. I’m not sure where this will take me (maybe I’ll end up stalking the cityscapes like Andrew), but in the meantime the odd portrait or crowd shot may appear.
If you do stumble on this and you don’t want the picture displayed, please just say.
I like this one. It looks like they are watching a tennis match.
Say hi to Andrew for me. I like his stuff.
Hey you – that’s my Grandfather!
Only joking … great shot, Paul. Nicely converted into B&W as well.
(Hi Scott! How’s it going?)
I’m very pleased to see the Connemara stetson I spotted in the crowd has made it into the blog.
