Photography on “easy mode”. My closest large city – I wouldn’t say that I love the place but it has an appeal. People, places, architecture, events. A gallery of images, some for the sketchbook, some I’m really proud of.
Concrete and glass dominate the street

Goldfinger's Trellick Tower in September sunshine.
Some of the workings of one of London's subway system stations laid bare
The construction of Westminster underground station does an excellent job informing us that it was new construction in a much older space. Much more fun than the more recent sanitised Elizabeth line.
airport, station, terminus. arrivals or departures. never satisfaction. Looking down a ramp between two platforms at Waterloo Station in London. The scene is brightly lit by the light pouring in through the glass roof and there is the promise of something...
who is separated from what? a lonely barstool stands in deep shadow under an enclosed balcony
screaming at yellow as loudly as it screams at me. Looking down a canary yellow staircase at the BFI South Bank
life. Filled with motion, even when empty. The undercroft at the National Theatre, a favourite haunt of skaters
Steel beams arch across the Thames in London. They reach for the other side. A step on a much longer journey
all lit up. St. Pauls Cathedral is viewed from the south bank of the Thames, lit up by a break in an otherwise overcast sky
turbine hall floor with rope. Echoes of the swirls at twists in the two materials' shapes in each other caught my eye
observation. Who is looking at what, and why? Looking up at the Blavatnik building and the newly erected residences that have resulted in the High Court ordering the Tate Modern to close its observation deck.
so many directions. St Pauls Cathedral viewed from behind the southern end of the Jubilee Bridge. The mass and stresses of what appears to be quite a delicate bridge can be seen in the design of the supports
spotted something. Someone, somewhere, has a new memory to keep. A presenting male with a smart haircut takes a photo with their phone
check. A tourist? A regular? Either way, I think they know what they're looking for and this isn't it. A person in an overcoat, baseball cap and polished brown shoes leans slightly forwards as they inspect some groceries for sale
an eye on it. A presenting female with an orange crew cut, glasses and pursed lips gazes into the near distance, maybe looking for something?
full flow. Smile, assemble, serve, repeat! A presenting female assembles food for one of several waiting customers
checking in. Leaning nonchalantly on a post, with a carefully composed look and a graceful pose, a person checks their phone
waiting. A starling familiar with human company waits for an opportunity, perched on scaffolding inside Borough Market
The best sauce? Fresh air over fish and chips being eaten by a man in a blue jacket wearing a knitted hat
Diligence. Skill and care lead to enjoyment as two store workers prepare take-away food for customers in Borough Market.
Amid all the bustle - and there was a *lot* of bustle - people all around were able to connect with the basic acts of eating and drinking if only for a moment
Gotcha! Caught in the act, unposed, apparently unguarded, taking a moment, a presenting male with a beard pauses looking down my lens
Working in a pretty confined space, these three were going at top speed at a stall in Borough Market.
The dedication, skill and dexterity displayed by staff and customers were lovely to see as they went about their individual processes
The best-looking crumble I'd ever seen. The queue was serpentine, even for Borough Market.
The link between these two was obvious and lovely to be around
Snoozing. Probably the best way of using the Underground.
