Photograph of the week #7: Culture is dying

This lady was sitting in the V & A. I found it amusing to watch her sit there for half an hour as her kids looked round the museum and she sat there with her Tesco bags looking baffled and bored by everything.We look at our parents as guides and if most parents can't be bothered to show interest in culture or independent thought, why should we?

Photograph of the week #6: Catch them off guard!

This is Jorge. He doesn't look good when you ask him to smile (see image bellow), but when you catch him off guard  he looks lovely. All natural lighting and little editing was required which is why I miss summer so much!

Oh dear :s

Photograph of the week #5: Making up for lost time

I know that I haven't posted images in months, so in a half arsed attempt to make up for it here's another image. This was also taken in London, I don't have much to say about it as there wasn't much thought in it if I'm completely honest, but I like it for the simplicity.

I have plenty more images that I can upload so don't worry about that and if you can't wait, go to my DeviantArt :) I upload there, but don't really talk about my image that much ;)

Two sites you should see

If you're bored, I'd recommend taking a look at these two sites if you haven't already seen them.

Life is the 21st centuries version of Life magazine, which had it's heyday in the 1960s. They have new images everyday and I find the site very easy to navigate. It's very inspiring to look at some of these images and it makes to want to go out and take more myself.

PhotoExtract. My friend showed me this a few days ago and although I like Life more, this is a nice site for images which aren't necessarily documentary. If you go to Plus extract you'll find a 'list' of images to go though :)

Photograph of the week #4: Look my eyes

This man was selling the Big Issue in Knightsbridge, London. He looked rather angry in person, but I snapped this as I walked past him and you can see in his eyes that he's a nice person, he's just frightened.

I wish I'd stopped to talk to him, but I didn't have any money and thought it a big rude to ask to take his picture if I didn't have anything to give him in return. Thank you Knightsbridge man, you've given me a great image and I hope you find yourself in better circumstances soon :)
