london.













8:00AM, WAKE UP, COFFEE, GET DRESSED, HEAD TO MOOR STREET. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME TO LONDON, WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING FOR SIXTEEN YEARS? I'VE BEEN MISSING OUT! HELLO TOPSHOP WITH 33738FLOORS, HEAVEN.
I ACTUALLY LOVE IT THERE, THE SCENERY, THE PEOPLE, THE ATMOSPHERE, THE STREET PERFORMERS, LONDON HAS EVERYTHING POSSIBLE ON OFFER, AND THE BOYS, OOOLALA.
I LOVE HOW FASHION HAS NO BOUNDRIES THERE ASWELL AND EVERYONE LOOKS DIFFERENT.
I ALSO LOVE HOW WE MADE IT OUT OF THE RAIN (AFTER GETTING SOAKED BY A BUS) AND FOUND REFUGE IN A STARBUCKS AND THE FIRST PERSON I SAW WAS THE STYLIST OFF RICKKI LAKE!
I CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE THERE WHEN I'M OLDER, IT'S THE PLACE TO BE, RIDDEN WITH OPPERTUNITY AND FRESH FACES, EVERYWHERE YOU TURN THERES SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WEST END STARS SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS AT THE BACK GATES, TRAMPS SITTING ON THE FLOOR IN A PICADILY CIRCUS DRAWING THE SCENERY, MEN ON UNICYCLYES, POLICE ON HORSES PACING DOWN THE OLD COBBLED STREETS.
IT WAS AS PRETTY AS I PICTURED, EVEN WITH THE MANIC RUSH OF HUMAN TRAFFIC, WE DECIDED TO CAPTURE THIS, FIRST OF ALL WITH A FEW GENERAL SNAP SHOTS OF GRAPHITI, A WOMAN FEEDING THE PIGEONS IN A 'FEED THE BIRDS' FASHION, THEN WE SET UP THE TRIPOD AND THE START OF THE ROAD LEADING UP TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND SET THE CAMERA ON MACRO AND TRIED TO BLUR THE CARS TRAVELLING PAST. OKAY, WE DID GET A FEW STRANGE LOOKS BUT WE GOT A FEW PHOTOS IN THE END.
I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO CHECK OUT ALL THE VINTAGE STORES BUT THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH TIME TO DO IT ALL IN ONE DAY! NEXT TIME!
