joshfspearLeave a comment

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

joshfspear1 Comment

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.

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.

joshfspearLeave a comment

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.

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.

Yesterday it was 420, so in aid of this day I thought I would share an interesting fact I found out about Trees and Green spaces in London:

London has enough trees to be classed as a forest, with a total of around 8.4 million trees. thats about 1 tree for every person.

Have a look at these snaps for some pretty cool but random facts on trees in London.
