I found a tripod over winter break, yipee, and have endlich put it to use. The result you can see in the last gallery.

First came a mad bicycle rush through London’s twisting roads on bicycles, then a solid three hours of shooting time. We came by some protesters (against the Iraq war and the Gaza situation) in front of Westminster Palace; one of the fellows (a war veteran I believe) has apparently been there since the beginning of the Iraq war and refuses to move, and bills proposed to remove him never passed. When we made it to our ultimate destination, the London Eye, we did something I’d wanted to do for quite a while: painted with lights on long exposure photos. We used lights we got off our bicycles, and I dare say I’m pleased with the way they came out. Then another mad dash home, curry for dinner, and all you can do is wonder where the whole evening went..
