Reading Time: 2 minutesWhile I tend to wait until I am at least part way through a set or project, I thought I would put this up now. This is an idea I want to explore further, based on my Backstreets and Rooftops photographic project from some years …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI have been so busy this last few weeks, it’s taken a while to get the last of these up. Our last morning in London, we went to have a proper look around some of the new development of the Kings Cross area. After exploring …
