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.
