London Fashion Week

I'm missing LFW this week due to a stomach bug. Here's one from last season. A model has make-up applied to her face seconds before taking to the runway for the Meadham Kirchhoff Autumn/Winter 2009 show at London Fashion Week February 24, 2009.

Balloons

Red balloons are released outside the Financial Services Authority offices in London's Canary Wharf financial district September 15, 2009. Small investors who lost money in the collapse of Lehman Brothers were protesting about being sold high risk financial products.

Steve Parry Memorial

I went to Steve Parry's memorial service today at Wembley Stadium. Steve, former Reuters sports editor and friend to many, died one day before the start of the Beijing Olympics. I've worked with Steve at Reuters and also had many pleasurable dealings with him in his IOC and London 2012 role but I had no idea he was in both Eastenders and this music video. Just great.

Boris Yeltsin

I always enjoyed photographing Boris Yeltsin. I've made pictures of him at various G8 summits in the past, always animated. This sequence is from a vist to London sometime in the mid nineties.

PhotoVoice Auction

I'm very happy to say that my Lehman photo sold for a few hundred pounds at last night's enjoyable Photovoice auction.

Group Photo

I shot this sequence of pictures from my hotel room at the end of the Olympics in Beijing. It shows the 'Public Health' employees having their group photo taken. I love the photographer's precision in getting everyone in exactly the correct position so that when he hits the timer all he needs to do is run to his place. Also strange to see a tiny camera on a tripod. I wonder if he bought it along especially for the shot.

Rain, rain, go away !

Beijing - Airport

These were shot whilst waiting at Beijing Airport for check in. They are reflections and the images have been rotated for effect.

Beijing - Baggage Hell

This was the scene on the tarmac at Beijing Airport yesterday. Only 1 out of 3 of my bags made it back to London. I somehow expected it.
