B034 – HUNGOVER? HAVE A READ OF THIS!

After a ruby last night, I had a vindaloo, normally im a korma kind of guy but apperently thats a childs curry, so I upped my game. half way through the meal DAVE was telling me how shit my writing is in these posts, which I have to disagree with. Anyway I woke up this morning completly regretting the vindaloo with phal sauce and remembered that my pictures of yesterday were only of Daves bald head.

So heres the snaps of daves head and also some cool pictures of brick lane I took a few weeks back.

B033 – SOUTH BANKING

Last night I had a brain wave and ended up on the South Bank taking photos and actually looking at the sites and basically pretending to be one of those people that londoners hate, a tourist. I think I was probably a very good tourist and fitted right in.

When you live in london its easy to only ever end up on the south bank for the pubs, which are pretty good and you can do a never ended pub crawl if you’ve got it in you.

Heres some snaps of last night.

B031 – Burrito and a beer

No meal, no recipe will ever beat a simple burrito and a beer and the only place todo this in London is in that weird car park place on Shoreditch high street. I didn’t take a photo of my burrito and beer because I forgot.

B030 – 1 down 11 months to go

So after exactly a month of taking and uploading three photos a day, I know appreciate how hard this type of stuff is and the amount of gear you have to carry with you. for the last month it feel like Ive always had my bag on my back, with the camera and my laptop top, but along the way I am slowly picking up more and more gear which Im not sure is a good or bad thing. 1 down 11 months to go.

 

anyway, yesterday. my bank holiday started with a run, Im training for something kind of big, but will give that an introduction in a few weeks, I want to have some sick pictures ready and then tell you all about it. after that I ended up at homeslice, somewhere you can get a decent sized pizza and then onto anders hours for a “Bro down”

B029 – Hackney Half Marathon

working at the hackney half yesterday was a good old summer event, I had alot of fun see some old chums and watching the runners pass that finish line. it was abit of an early start and meant I had to wake up at 4 in the morning on bank holiday sunday, but lucky anders left his bike at mine so I meant i got to ride there at stupid o clock in the morning.

B028 – WE TOOK THE OLD STEED FOR A SPIN

So yesterday Anders and myself went out with the BMX to be the 15 year olds we used to be. after a good old session at the local skatepark we naturally ended up at the pub for a drink, which soon turned into 3, which of course turns into 5 (the last two weren’t with anders, he went to watch the boxing).

Any way check out the snaps.

B027 – THE NEW LENS

So yesterday I got a new lens, 24-105, now for a lot of people that doesn’t mean anything and for more people thats an OK lens. but up to this point I’ve been using a 50mm 1.8 (the cheap of all cheap lenses). So im pretty excited to now have some zoom, can start having abit more fun with my camera and hopefully improve my pictures. Any way heres a few snaps that Ive taken last night and then some from this morning.

Better snaps to come.

B026 – I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT WINE

So last night I ended up in some wine bar, trying to guess the region, grape and something else todo with the wine and if you guess it right you get it for free. so I had a pop, I tasted a bit and said it was Californian from the north shore and a mean grape. the wine turned out to be from italy and “mean grape” isn’t actually a thing.

Heres a few snaps of the evening.

B025 – IVANKA

Today I thought, I would take pictures of my walk to work. Basically I couldn’t think of anything to photograph so just focused on my walk, I was looking at stickers on the walls and basically trying to take a photo of anything I thought might look kind of interesting.

B024 – Black and white

So this is my last week at work before I move on (goodbye barcroft). On my way home from work last night, In a bit of a rush I just took a few photos that i thought looked good. I like  black and white photos at the moment, so I think there will be quite a lot of black and white photos in London to come.
