This shows a busker on the South bank of the Thames, opposite St Paul's Cathedral. Sat at a typewriter, his sign invited commissions of short stories, poetry, etc. I managed a quick snap between the crowds of passing tourists.

A Kodak circular snapshot photograph of a beach photographer with his portable darkroom. For many years beach photographers were a common sight at the seaside. They took cheap, often technically poor, 'while-you-wait' portraits as souvenirs.
The origins of popular photography can be traced back to 1888 when George Eastman (1854 - 1932) patented the first Kodak camera. A small box camera it was sold ready-loaded with a roll of negative stripping paper providing 100 circular pictures 2.5 inches (64mm) in diameter. In 1889 Eastman introduced the No 2 Kodak camera which took slightly larger circular photographs, 3.5 inches in diameter.
Originally a shooting term, the word 'snapshot' was first linked with photography in the late 1850s, when it was used to describe a photograph taken with a brief exposure. Over time, snapshot came to mean any amateur photograph taken with a simple camera. Snapshots are informal, personal records of everyday life and experiences.

The building in Brownsville this was on is huge and must have had a lot going on at one time.. With BING birdseye you can actually see this from space!
Here's the link to the wider view of the building taken almost the same time by congoeels that shows other ghost signs:

Individually, not great photos it's true. Conditions and circumstances were not ideal, but as a study of young lovers, their intimacy, and our voyeurism, it says something to all of us about that feeling of newness and exclusivity.
The exterior of the west end of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, what is up the road from where do live. This was taken from over the wall of the Plantation Garden, which is also up the road from where I do live. If I'd been standing in the car park of the Beeches hotel, which is the other building in this picture, I'd have been painted black and gold immediately.

Revenants While you Wait
This laundry and tailor shop is adjacent to one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. I think it’s time to order new window appliqués.
The flower boxes are a little... barren... too.
Everyone loves to take pictures of Murphy and Tatu! I guess this photo can count for Fence Friday. HFF, everyone!
Taken in September 1973.
The B&B we stayed in our one night in Cornwall (or Devon -- wherever we were). Four rooms, one of which they rented out to occasional travelers like us.
Here the owner takes Lin for a walk around the yard. A sign in front of the house read, "dental plates fixed while you wait." (Another source of retirement income?) When we told him we'd now be driving back to Exeter, he strongly urged us to take a short byway to the town of Chagford, which he said was very lovely. We decided to follow his advice. (He also said something about "Brentor," though whether that's where we were or a place we should visit, I can't remember.)
He said they didn't often have Americans stay with them but he had noticed that they sometimes took two showers a day, and that they tended to take long ones. (I thought he was telling us we had used up his hot water that morning.)
"Done while you wait."
That cracks me up.

Thanks for contacting me about the usage of my stuff.
While I make pita and hummus for this evening during a rather wet Saturday afternoon...
I would prefer duck confit taquitos.
most of the time when you see a cooking pot full of a black substance, you think "i'll wake up in the zoo naked with amnesia and half the town will have been raped and pillaged"

Ordered a new lens today. A Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 ultra wide angle.
All I need to do now is wait for it to arrive... might as well eat some chocolate.
