London trip(Digital) part I
London trip(Digital) part II

So we made our way to the famous London Eye…which was HUGE…i try to avoid doing touristy stuff but i love ferris wheels…so i had to go on this one too. First…get tickets…which is when i discovered the blue loos…and a funky hand dryer…one thing to notice is that there is no paper towels in London unlike Oslo..where its the norm.

all shot with trix + Nikon FM + 50/2

more streetlamps

the eye…and the plane


the kid was scared by the street performer

from the eye


the loo…suri wearing a beanie…i dont know why…as it was not too cold…but then again…i am comparing it to oslo

street performers…and man watching…wrong horizon

soothing in london was much easier than i expected…people smile…unlike oslo…

see…told ya…dont like the fact that i cropped the bike

art?

i should have given up now…as it was pretty dark


failing at 1/4…talked to him…shook hands…moved on

and met Paul…do not move when i am shooting at 1/4/8 damn…anyways…he has done his masters in photography…uses a contax and play music to make a living…

man with glasses and the red hat…suri tells me that i am not allowed to shoot inside waterloo station…as if i care

stand on the right…amazed by the amount of signs…are people that stupid?

on our way home

next update…we goto Trafalgar square with a roll of delta…

need to sleep…

cya…

London trip(Digital) part I
London trip(Digital) part II

as the title mentions…its finally here…

i was in London from 20-24 of December…why not more? like spend the new year…that was the plan…but me being an Indian and all…i need a Visa to enter UK…and my visa was due to expire on the 25…so…call it whatever you want…fate/bad luck…

anyways…it was awesome to be in London…i only wish that i could get all excited when i goto new places…sadly i do not. new place…whatever…new people…now thats exciting…seeing new faces…experiencing new traditions and customs…thats what i dig.

i was in london to meet my good friend surhud…he suggested that i just take a train down to surbiton…i was glad that i insisted him to come pick me up, as i would be completely lost in the insanely complex rail network in london…

all shot with trix + Nikon FM + 50/2

i hate airports…i hate waiting in airports…i hate these passport control checks…

due to fog the plane was delayed for 30 mins…i hate this even more…

anyways…its all worth it…meetup with suri at Stansted airport

dinner at some mexican place

the kitchen…he tells me that i should take permission before i take a picture…yeah right…and you would be the king of England…

breakfast at a cosy french place called *chez julien delicatessen*

on our way to some part of central london

ladies on the train…some sleeping some staring…for some reason i always tend to wait for the person to look at me…happy with this shot as it has turned out exactly as i expected

on our way to the london eye…the only touristy thing i did in london


tourists…wonder what she shot

the eye



strange guys playing music…they would get all excited when someone of the female kind passed them…

love this frame…i love street lamps…i love people…i love bw film…i love the fact that these is a bird in the frame

more tourists…

Thats it for now…time to play QuakeWars and have the rest of my pizza…

Next update more 17 frame from London…

Hope you are having a great weekend…
