LONDON – I spent a good part of the day wandering in the Holland Park area with a camera. I didn’t resonate with much of what I saw. Here’s a typical image.
Day 1,740 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Judy.
On this day last year (day 1,437): Judy on Lake Waramaug.
LONDON – A dullish day. Too hot with a high overcast sky. Not really great for cityscapes or anything else for that matter. Here are a couple from Holland Park.
Day 1,739 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,071): Monochrom. This was the maiden voyage of my Leica Monochrom so it must be celebrating it’s second birthday today. Here’s a picture taken in the rain near Fotocare where I bought it.
LONDON – I arrived in London this morning where I’m staying with my sister-in-law for a week to keep her company as she recovers from serious surgery. She lives near Shepherds Bush and Holland Park which will be the focus of my photo efforts. We won’t have time for tourism so you won’t be seeing Big Ben and the London Eye. Here you go:
Day 1,738 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,008): boiler room.
LONDON, ENGLAND – We spent the day dodging the Pope who is here on a historical state visit (but if I want to see the Pope I’ll go to Rome and security measures here snarled up traffic). We spent the day on foot, starting at the sensational Eadweard Muybridge show at the Tate Britain; catching a street food lunch in Chelsea near the Saatchi Gallery; a few well-spent hours in the Saatchi Gallery; and finally tea at the V&A. I had difficulty selecting so I’ve posted three images – I may winnow a bit further with a future edit. All images are with a Leica M9 and 30-year old 35mm Summicron lens.
LONDON, ENGLAND – A very busy day – I had time for this out of our hotel window.

LONDON, ENGLAND – Today marks the end of my eleventh month of daily photos. We arrived in London this morning. I had time for a walk before embarking on a day of meetings. Here’s a reflection of Wilton Crescent off of the bonnet of a vintage Bentley (British racing green, from the mid ’50s, one off custom body so its hard to place the actual model). It was casually parked on the street. This is an above average ride, even by Belgravia standards.
