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:
- There are hell of a lot of us humans rattling around that part of the world, all busying around and bumping into each other.
- It only takes a little self training to differentiate between nationalities based on demeanor and costume, especially with the males.
- 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.
