Just brilliant.

Loving the whole fashion look, that belt and cardigan thing is very 2007.

Well I no longer need to tell you that Eamon has a great eye for spotting people on the street and a way of making them feel at ease when he takes their photo. would love to know what this guy's story is, it's not every day you see a snake in Brick Lane. Just don't look too closely into your curry.

Notting Hill, 5.30am

Another strong and yet soft portrait. The strong contrast, strong shadow, and obviously tired subject is portrayed very well, the photo has that sense of having been awake for too long.

Youth, huh.

Streets of London

Lovely fashion shoot on the streets of Soho. Apparently getting up super-early on a Sunday pays off. There's something very London about this shot.

And at the other end of the scale, is this strong but soft carnival style self portrait. Despite the strong colours and strong fierce straight into camera look, there is a softness to the photo as well.

Complimenting the last photo very well is this beautiful low-light study in brown. Very well handled on a cheap plastic camera.

A wonderful study in grey tones in colour. A real vibrancy coming through from the layers of tone and texture.

She is looking at a book of photos by Jaques-Henri Lartigue, a French photographer who took photos for almost the entirety of his 80+ year life, through a large chunk of the 20th Century, witnessing major events taking place.

Strangers into Citizens


Zimbabwe, originally uploaded by Monkey Magic.

I met this family at the Strangers into Citizens rally in Trafalgar Square. It was absolutely pelting it down but so many people from all over the world came out for the rally.

Peopel from Algeria, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Colombia, etc, who all want to participate in British society - not as illegal immigrants but as citizens.

Young Blee Music Video, Who Dat Boy, 2007

Fantastic staged shot. Lit wonderfully, demonstrating all of his rippling muscle power.
