Results from recent experimenting with a new toy cam I acquired recently. Very basic plastic camera called “split cam”. I bought mine at the Photographer’s Gallery in London for £7, but I’ve seen them go for as much as £30 on “gifts” sites. Don’t be a dummy and pay £30. I was too impatient to fill a whole roll before developing. I’m pretty pleased with the initial results. Let me know what you guys think. Do more?
Double exposure with Harrow camera. August 2018.
I don’t like crowds, but I like people watching; how we interact, and what silly things we do, and faces we pull. These are some pictures from my recent trip to the Netherlands.

Took this on a night out in Bristol.
A photo I took years and years ago. A personal favourite of mine.
The picture I’m featuring in today’s blog is one of my favourites. I shot this from the hip on my mobile phone, as I was walking home from a quick shop run. I saw the text; which I believe was part of a heart health ad, and framed it out of context. Hey, it begged to be. As I pushed the shutter though, a bus came into frame. This all happened in a few seconds, and the phone went back in my pocket. I only noticed much later, when I was looking at it again, how incidentally / accidentally perfect it was.
It’s the two strangers on the top deck that get to me. The reflection against the glass siding of the bus stop shelter creates the illusion that they are seated facing each other, but invisible to each other. Or ignoring each other. In fact, one is sitting behind the other. It seemed/seems like such a perfect illustration of how life in London can be sometimes. We see each other, but we don’t. This, combined with the “skip heartache”. Well, it’s heartbreakingly perfect to me.
