Self portrait play with A1 traffic jam

I recently flew to London and back for a cracking meeting with a great client, who I’m very excited and happy to be working with again on a much bigger project (I’ll save those detail’s for a separate press release).

I had been a while since I had been back in the UK properly, several things struck me:

  1. There are hell of a lot of us humans rattling around that part of the world, all busying around and bumping into each other.
  2. It only takes a little self training to differentiate between nationalities based on demeanor and costume, especially with the males.
  3. People look at you funny (even policemen) when you refer to them as ‘Sir’

Anyway, the coach journey lasted a little bit longer then I would have hoped and my mind wouldn’t let me sleep (probably over stimulated form the great meeting) so I started twitching with my pocket digital camera, there was nothing about to take photos of but myself and the traffic, so I combined them by setting the camera to ‘Night’, and I suppose digitally double exposing the photos. All these images where created in camera (just the type was added later).

larking about and seeing how far I can push the camera whilst bored in a traffic jam in the UK

Now if only I could get sponsorship of a nice Digital SLR to experiment with,  to really play silly buggers with.

Most of my photography stuff is at Little Hellos and a growing collection at The Mushroom Farmer.
