the museum guard
i'm sure this chap was just fishing to get in this photo by standing around in the background. kezia looks worried
small spooky girl
i had lined myself up to take a picture of this strange wedding shop with it's lose 'A' and this small girl in a spooky cloak floated by.
just after i'd taken the picture a police car whizzed by, but it didn't stop to arrest me.
lunch break
you might need to click on this to appreciate a bit bigger. which tribe would you be in ? hear no evil, smell no evil, see no evil moody dark clothes or brown sandled pastel colour clothes corner ? i think i'd go sulky to the left.
just like in your actual olden days
no idea what this was about. i thought the church of the flourescent octopus was good in the background too
traditional pottery man
not quite sure what is going on below. and the tent is a bit out of context in the photo above.
the watched snog
i went to see the Rodchenko exhibition on friday and was inspired to take this photo. it was only afterwards i noticed the girls with balloons on the top left.
military types with big hats
everyday sights in london town
a very small man
this was a half accidental optical illusion. i was actually trying to take a picture down a gap in the footway to the right, but missed.
other people's weddings
according to the polish taxi driver who picked me up from heathrow to take me back home after my warsaw trip, people in Poland have their wedding photos on a different day to their actual wedding. As a result they are a lot more relaxed and can be more 'set up'. He knew this as he was going back to Poland to get married (today in fact i think)
when i was in poland last week i got to explore Park Lazienkowski which was lovely
there were lots of people having their wedding photos which made for a great spectator sport.
you can see what this place looks like from the sky on google maps
even as i left there were more pouring in !
please buy my product
i crossed over the road rather than walk past these two and be given a leaflet. i'm probably not in their target demograph or something.
model and her fiance
the model's boyfriend wasn't quite so sure about this photography lark.
portrait course week 2
i'm currently doing a short nightschool course on studio portrait photography with Tony (not big eye). it's very good, and has revealed i'm essentially clueless on proper photography !
i was quite pleased with the photo above though, and the one below isn't bad. the subject is another chap on the course.
and here we all are randomly photoing
tube fashionistsa
here's my homage to Going Underground's underground fashion thing. all people showed here allowed me to take their photo.
green hair is SO cool.
very pointy shoes are cool too.
a man walking in to a lamp post
this is a bit spooky. this chap is apparently walking in to a lamp post (rather than in to a lamp post)
bored mozarts
these chaps were being mozart-like in vienna to entice tourists in to concerts. they didn't look that bothered though.
and things looked even worse a day later
dave and steve
here is preacher dave and preacher steve.
children's party games
the mummy game
the sponge game
the pegs on a washing line game
fellow photographer of strange things
this chap was taking a picture of a litter picker-upper so i took a picture of him taking his pictures to show you. when he had finished photoing i explained that i too took pictures of random objects in the street
"why do you do that ?" he said
"to put on my website, funkypancake.com" i said
"how about you, why do you take pictures like that ?" i said
"because they don't have these kind of litter pickers in India and i've see lots of old people stooping over picking up litter and a device like this would really help them out." he said
"you're reasons are much nobler than mine" i said
and off we both went.
what with him and the chap on monday i'm beginning to wonder if i'm not fullfilling my full potential
jolly chap on the tube with flowers
i had a chat with this chap who sat next to me on the tube yesterday afternoon. he'd found the flower you see here on the street and had picked them up and was taking them home.
he asked my opinion of them and we got chatting about street finds and my blog. he gave me a bit of a telling off for not picking up my finds and caring for them ("it would have been better if you had never seen them, than just take a picture and walk away - it's like taking pictures of war victims").
but when i showed him some of the pictures of the stuff i photograph he realised taking some of the things home would be impractical.
anyway, he said he might be in touch via the website and he said hoped he'd be famous by his picture appearing here. which he probably is now.
so, hello mr flower-man if you're reading !
watchers from above
two chaps up a cherry picker enjoying the view (cheeky cherry chaps perhaps)
