Ouch!

A Merstham & a Dulwich Hamlet player receive treatment today, after clashing heads.

Professional snappers

The foyer in the National Theatre, on the South Bank, is currently displaying the exhibition 'The Press Photographer's Year'.















This photo of a city trader committing suicide by jumping from a hotel wasn't in the exhibition. I saw it flicking through the book of the awards that was on display. I see nothing wrong with the publishing of this sort of photo by the media. I find them fascinatingly intrustive, possibly distressing for the personal relarives of the jumper; but certainly publishable & newsworthy.








I saved the best til last. What on earth was the photographer thinking? Down a bit, down a bit...PLEASE! ;-)



A typically random snap of mine...

Not lined up, not caring about the light. A classic example of when I 'simply point and press'. Taken outside London Bridge station, but a perfect example of why I like to take a picture. The building the man on the left is standing by is now being demolished, and it is inaccessible. My photo is not important, but it's a random snap of contemprary London that is no longer there.

Taxi!

The only reason this cab, parked in Eltham, caught my eye was the pink & blue colours-Pink 'n' Blue being those of the football team I support.

Building on sand

I saw these sand sculptors a couple of Sundays ago, while strolling along the South Bank of the Thames.
