we've seen Elvis on this blog before, but I've never met him, although his fame is widespread. he's often to be found at open air events round London and I'm glad to have finally caught up with him.

Some people had to give out free sweets to get people to agree to have their photo taken - although these girls look so fabulous I'm sure they didn't need much encouragement.

Notting Hill Carnival #6

Notting Hill Carnival #6, originally uploaded by edscoble.

last weekend I went ot the Notting Hill Carnival. A perfect excuse for taking a few portraits of people getting into the party spirit.

Everyone was very friendly and plenty of people were happy to have their picture taken. This shot from Ed of a man in the crowd really reflects the party atmosphere well, and the sun had finally come out.
