B088 – Back in sunny London

June 29, 2017June 28, 2017 joshfspear5 Comments

theres no better wake up call and to be reminded that your back in london than english rain, its the “I dont need a jacket today” attitude that catches you out the most and the sudden down pour that seems to last a few hours but long enough for you to be sat at your desk with wet jeans for the whole day! but I suppose I cant complain because I saw a guy standing in the que for the sainsburys check out with a metro news paper still balanced on his head to protect him for the sudden down pours that happen inside Sainsburys every now and again, it doesnt sound that funny as I write this, but if you were there…

Any way heres my snaps from today. I’m trying a few new things out, to see what works, what does work, changing the format, adding a watermark trying to work on finding a nice typography that I can use consistently and mainly the style of my photos, what I focus on when i’m in London and what I focus on when Im in new countries. so please let me know what you like and what you think is absolutely crap.

B088-1-3 — – its like the old people are walking towards the light –

B088-1-4 — – I found palm trees in tower hamlets, its almost like being on holiday –

Around bethnal green and shoreditch the poster game has been definitely got better, each day I see a bunch of random weird posters and they actually make the walk to work easier. you gotta love the London sense of humour, politics is always a long debate, but I think these posters sum it all up pretty easy, Jeremy eating hamsters and May is a dominatrix. end of discussion.

who ever is putting these posters up, carry on its making my walk to work better.

B070 – I LOVE MANCHESTER

June 11, 2017 joshfspearLeave a comment

So before my train yesterday I wanted to pop to st annes Square to see the memorial for those people killed at the concert a few weeks back, everyone was telling me how amazing it was, when I got there they had taken to the memorial down, the only thing left was a few flowers on the statue and some candle wax on the floor. it was properly raining, the type of rain that somehow only manchester can have. But i still thought it was only right to leave some flowers and show some respect.

MUCH LOVE MANCHESTER!

B070-1-2 — – this is me putting some flowers down –

B070-1 — – it was properly raining, so I used a shower cap to protect my camera –

two day has been a day of two halfs, a missed train from reading to Manchester, an angry taxi driver who tried to hold me as a hostage of a mistake that his comms office and a lost jumper (it was my new favourite), all added to me only having one option grabbing a pint before the next train to Manchester and then sleeping all the way, so now im sat in a pretty swanky hotel room in manchester wide awake!

but over all im pretty happy with the pictures i managed to get, by the way, I cant take any photos of my location or anything this week, so time to get creative. Ive brought a big pack of balloons just in case I run out of ideas and need to make some water bombs or something.

at the moment its 7:30 in the morning on saturday and im on a train, doing this post. 2 coffees down and about to dig into my breakfast. its weird doing something like this, because obviously there is zero money involved, apart from me getting excited about camera gear and spunking all my money. but this is slowly becoming just a normal part of my day, take some pictures of things a like then post them, it makes my days feel like 10 times more productive. not sure if the photos or writing is improving but im not too fussed, its just something fun todo each day other than just working and drinking. this is my Saturday morning reflection session over.

walking around london in the morning during the summer CAN actually be perfect, to me the best thing todo is leave your house in a t shirt, thats the start of summer.

in other news tomorrow is friday, which has to be the best day in the world. it means weekends and nothing is better than a summer weekend.

so with all that to thing of, heres a few snaps of my walk to work.

B061-1-2 — – bethnal greens got it all –

B061-1 — – if you know this place then you know that man that sells illegal curry from his wheel chair –

B061-1-3 — – i do like a photo of a building –

Last night I was walking to liverpool street from Bank station, something im doing todo on the last days of my office/desk job is to walk from one tube station on another tube along the line i need, just so I dont spend countless hours on the tube when I could be in the sun taking snaps.

its been a big week and its only Tuesday night (when I writing this), today I finished work at like 7:45ish and was like screw it im going to westminster to be a proper tourist and just take pictures and just enjoy being in London, something I think im actually doing more and more, I keep finding that I will purposely sometimes go the long route just so I can see some more of this crazy city! I love everything about london, other than the tubes, I hate the tubes.

So here a few snaps of my hour on Embankment last night.

B059-1-4 — – “make sure you get my good side” –

B056 – I SAW A FUCKING STORM TROOPER ON THE TUBE

Yesterday I my day in stratford shopping centre getting supplies and most importantly new socks. Then in the evening, Amy and me went out for dinner in tower hill. Decent. But nothing comes close to the fact I saw the best storm trooper outfit of my life. I think I could even be a real storm trooper.

Heres the snaps.

B056-1 — – Ive always wanted to see one in person –

B056-1-3 — – this could be spain, but its London zone 1 –

This weather is perfect, spent Friday night in a pub garden and after a busy day of work and meetings I didn’t really take as many photos as I should but here as the best ones from the day. I really not sure of the point in this Website, but I am enjoying the challenge of trying to take good photos everyday and get them online by mid day the next day.

I think im doing an ok job, but thats for you guys to decide.
