Had a lovely surprise down on the Thames at Sonning this afternoon - a pair of beautiful black swans came gliding by as I was walking Milo. They were so pretty with their ruffled wings and not at all aggressive unlike their white cousins. A real pleasure to see them.
In the background rising from the ashes is the "Belmont Hotel," at the time it was built in 1924 it was the tallest building in the capital city at nearly 124 feet. After it was built, height restrictions on any future "skyscrapers" were put in place to protect views of the capitol building: which are still in effect to this day.
As for the pile of broken stone and tangled wires in the foreground, RIP one of my favorite buildings I never had the pleasure to enter, this site will be turned into a parking lot over the coming month.

Ou apenas o começo?
Bom, deste projeto, é o fim mesmo.
No começo foi tão delicioso começá-lo, a empolgação me inebriava e mesmo com minha compacta, eu amava dar os clics ( devo dizer que acho minha fotos de Janeiros mais legais que as outras. ahahah).
Só que ao decorrer dos tempo, o corre-corre do colégio, vestibular, minha máquina quebrando, o tédio e o mesmismo foi tirando minha vontade de continuá-lo. Por vezes pensei em desistir, mas só a ideia que marcar cada dia me fazia repensar. E foi bom. Porque cada flash, visto hoje, me fez relembrar muita coisa, desde o contexto tirado às trabalheiras e tentativa - às vezes frustradas-.
Foi uma pena, não ter prosseguido nos meses de Outubro, Dezembro. Mas as poucas que tirei, deixo aqui.
Também fiz uma limpa daquelas que não me agradaram e deixei um álbum só com as minha favoritas; os melhores do 366. rs
Tirei minha última foto do ano e do projeto como uma nostalgia. Porque foi nesse exato cantinho que tirei a primeira foto do projeto ( a do relógio marcando 00:00 h). Só que o símbolo retratado agora é um animal que bem me rodeando esses últimos dias; uma coruja. Procurando se significado, descobri que além de mistério ela trás conhecimento, sabedoria. Então que esse 2013, seja repleto de muitos aprendizados. :)
Feliz Ano Novo.
Another place I've shot from previously, but the sky was amazing and I gave it a little more boost with Lightroom.
Yes, I love my notepads and my pens, pencils... all that retro stuff that gives writing some bohemian flavor. But when it comes to be practical and accurate, when you have to correct and rearrange chapters... Then my MAC is my best friend.
Doesn't this guys look tough? Cardinals are what I call the "fake tough guy" birds. They talk a mean game, but they never back it up. Mockingbirds, on the other hand, are to be feared by everyone. They are the real tough ones.
I had to head up to Camden after work today to pick up some photography related products I had ordered from a shop there. As the market was closed by the time I got there, I thought this image of the tube station would be suitable.
Probably the best lift in the world, it only goes up two floors but you are serenaded on your journey by a voice choir all the way. The best installation at the Ikon Gallery at the moment.
"I can only imagine where these tiny feet will go in their lifetime. My only hope is that they never forget the way home."
Today I was the photographer at a Confirmation in West London so was very tired when I got home in the evening. As usual my Fiancee took care of me by cooking me a lovely roast dinner - it was very tasty and very much needed!
I love mockingbirds, and I listened to this one sing for about 15 minutes. I lost count of the number of distinct songs it sang in that time.
