I couldn't resist finishing the year of this blog with this wonderful character portrait from Charlotte.
It sums up 2007 for me - a great face, stories to tell, and now having to smoke outside but still resilient. Resilience despite the environment.
Looking forward to meeting more terrific characters in 2008.

365 Londoners
Modern day Arthur Daley
In Islington. People still want to buy other people's junk - the junk and the people in the shops telling tales of a big city. Us and our possessions, our way of owning the sheer expanse of London. How we stamp our features on ourselves and the spaces around us.
Woman's best friend
love the wideness of this photo, and that chilling sensation. Wonderful late London colours.

Kilburn High Road
Another one I took back in the summer, guys hanging out waiting for the bus in Kilburn.
We're going to keep up the 365 Londoners project next year, and still hoping to show it somewhere. Do get in touch!
Kilburn High Road
Can't remember if I blogged these back in September. Reminds me of a sunny day on the Kilburn High road (or anywhere else in London), people coming out to watch the world go by. looking forward to warmer weather, the easy days, hours of sunshine.

At the Emirates
A cold and grey November day at the Emirates. Charlotte has done a great job of capturing the life and colour in these Arsenal fans. A great little set of people with different faces but a common interest.
At the Emirates
Wonder how many games this old guy's been to. Players and goals he's seen, made it through the 80s rough patch, and all the Premier League successes.
At the Emirates
Love the range of life Charlotte found at the Emirates stadium. Different faces but all with one purpose, to watch the best football team in the land.
remains of the day
a day at the Arsenal a few weeks ago. wonderful set from Charlotte who has such a way with people!
Arsenal fans are of course the best in the country and I'm not biased.
ummm... I'm not sure that hows you use those hair curlers...

Ava
Looks like a traditional 50s or 60s portrait shoot. Shot traditionally but bang up to date. What a cute looking baby and great name too. A real keeper.
Trophy Room
Sunday afternoon football. At least it's not raining but looks like they've got liquid inside warmers anyway.
Brian
what a great looking geezer. back in the summer when the sun was shining. Wishing Brian a long life and hope to see him around in 2008!

pearly king of bow bells
Harry Mayhead, the pearly king. What you might expect when you'd picture a Londoner.
Bad Robots
Camden, the centre of everything that#s happening in the music scene for years and years.
Loving the facial hair look.
