Um, can I get an award for "Best Commute Ever"?
Although admittedly, it's not always perfect... cold, near-freezing weather, rain, flat tires, smelly stagnant water at some points... but it sure beats waiting in traffic on the 880, that's for sure.

The view driving over the Gold Star Bridge from Groton to New London. Most schools were dismissed early. We hung on to a full day- which the students weren't very happy about.
I can sit and bemoan a loss of creativity, and fail to take my camera with me everywhere I go, or I can make the effort to start taking photos again. And so, this morning, I have, taking my trusty little Canon M100 and pancake lens, which makes me wonder whether or not the big camera will ever realistically come out again, save for if I get back into more strobist style shots.
This morning, therefore is a homage to the commute, and possibly a bit of additional exploration around New Street Station and, unusually, a short video. Yesterday was Cat’s dad’s birthday and, in the evening, we were looking through her nan’s old photo albums which her aunt had lent to us. Naturally some photos predated 35mm film, but the vast majority were clearly from more point and shoot style film cameras.
Yes, the fashion and style, from a modern perspective, appears to be incredibly dated and unfashionable, but people seem to be having more genuine fun in the past; less of the duck face pouting and posed photos. We also wondered whether the fact that you would, literally, point and shoot, had more to do with the honest nature of the photos.
Despite their names, modern point and shoots are nothing of the sort, waiting for the lens to extricate itself from its contortionist home within the body, the on-board computer to fire up and lock focus, before inevitably the person moves and you need to reshoot. Under the bed I have a plethora of photos from college, all taken on disposable camera, that whilst lacking in technical quality have a degree of more meaning for it.
My new, smaller, camera is a bit more honest to these older times, especially when it has a prime lens on it. Having previously put the time in to develop a black and white photo style that works for me, maybe it’s time to get back into a more spontaneous type of photography and use automatic mode and just straight to jpeg. If, or course, I can bear the lack of control…
I am sometimes temped to use the emergency brake, just to get some great morning photos! (Dang train goes to fast...)
On average I spend about 2 hours every day inside London's tube commuting to work from the apartment where I stay. (total commute time is almost 3 hours)
Public transportation in London is very good. In fact, today I read in a paper that it's the best in the world. That wasn't surprising. Although it's not all that glorious during peak hours, the overall system is very good.
Took this photo while waiting for a train to arrive.... she was waiting too :-)
A pause on the commute at this Cherry Tree that is about done dropping its flowers. This was also my first commute with the Baggins Adam saddlebag I recently acquired. I write a bit about all of this in this blog post.
I think this shot captures how people dislike commuting heads down and looking tiered after a days work !!!
