London

A selection of photographs I took over the course of my London (and Stratford-Upon-Avon and Warwick Castle and Birmingham) trip.

All of these were shot on either Ilford XP2, Ilford HP5, Ilford Delta 3200, or Kodak BW300CN film, with a Minolta Maxxum 7000, for the most part using both a red filter and a polarizing filter.

Are these like special pics that only people who do things on time can see. Because I can't see them.

Warwick Castle.









Stratford-Upon-Avon

The one on the left is Jeremy, the one on the right is Andrew. The very same Andrew I, um, had a total crush on.

April 1st, 2008 marked the 90th birthday of the RAF, and the Red Arrows performed a flyover of the city in honour of the occasion.

Nice pics IB

london is such a gray place. wish they would go ahead and switch to color already.

some really great pics here! I like the one with the tagger; and what's up with the guy with the horn hat? I mean, I've heard of horny guys, but that's ridiculous . . .

From the Last 2 pics it looks like a GuHey place !!

Great pics Ibby! Although the black & white with overcast skies does make it look ever so grimy. Although I suppose it is.

What did you think of Camden?
I have a Londoner's perspective of it (tired and tatty and for out-of-town teens only) but when my friend Terri came down I saw it through her eyes and was delighted again.

And what a very fat squirrel! I'm guessing if it let you get that close it was probably tame enough to be fed like the ones in Greenwich Park. So much for Alan Carr's theory of weight loss (listen to your body, nature will not let you put on weight, you never see a fat squirrel).

Thanks for the pictures.

Camden did kind of feel like a tourist trap kinda fakey gimmicky market, but i found some great vintage clothes there. Two pairs of Levi's for 12 pounds! considering a new pair goes for about fifty, not too bad. Oh, and I bought some nice records too. Chili Peppers, Patti Smith, and I believe, a third.

Well done Ibby - very nice.
