J. knitting, originally uploaded by lesbru.

another kind of fashion, this time the knitting craze. Or is it a craze? or just a return to old fashioned values, when making something yourself results in the best quality.

Lovely shot of this lady coping with the intricacies of double knitting needles and sock making. mmm, home knitted socks, fabulous!

great combination of fashion and street portrait shot. here David went with the model into the streets, this wonderful direct portrait captures that spirit of fashion fabulousness as well as the grey miserable wet streets of London really well.

In the Long Grass


, originally uploaded by Friday Films.

It's always struck me that the long grass on Hampstead Heath is made for wonderful portraits.

This one is no exception, truly beautiful shot, the man's eyes are so sharp and reach out from the shot.

Portobello

Portobello Road, a name synonymous with London style, full of characters as diverse as the area.

Brick Lane

A sunny day, a great new/old dress - any more reason for going out looking fabulous?

On the Underground

You're not supposed to take photos on the Tube, but it's always so tempting. All of life, going on underground.

You wouldn't normally think that a group of watercolouring ladies would venture into deepest soho with their easels - but here they are, painting the street market. Wonderful.

Traditional black and white portraiture brought bang up to date in this direct challenging shot from Pete.

is it a lightfitting? For me, that transforms this into a much more interesting photograph.

A very urban shot, very london too. Check out the rest of Robin's work, he's got a great eye and a great connection with his subjects.

More great stuff from Eamon.

part of the whole Glastonbury experience is the fabulous outfits - that doesn't always mix well ith the mud. Here one of our regular contributors somehow manages to keep it off her lovely dress. Well done!

the best part of taking a picture is capturing the decisive moment - which is exactly what's been done here. The rest of the crew in the background are looking on with respect too.
