Having participated in the Photo24 Challenge recently, myself & Tim Scott decided another trip into London would be a great idea. This time I only took my little Sony RX100 mk3 & iPhone with me as the thought of carrying my Canon 5d mk4 & associated lenses in 30 degree heat for the day was just too much. Ultimately, this was the right decision & whilst at times the image quality & ability to get certain shots that the Canon would have given me proved frustrating the small bag & weight far outweighed this. We arrived in London at 10.15am & headed straight to The Barbican for some brutal architecture shots, then made our way across London taking in various sites along the way, ending up in Brick Lane for a curry at 7.30pm.
Near to where we live there is a well know example of brutal architecture the Alexandra Road Estate
It was much admired in times past now its just another failed concrete carbuncle.

Felt a bit fatiguey this morning, but got better as the day went on (possibly helped by the new supplements I'm taking, but also almost certainly helped by the beautiful weather!) By lunchtime a walk to the seafront felt possible - and incredibly lovely it was, too. I also popped into Lidl on the way back, to pick up a few bits - then back to a busy afternoon of work.
After dinner (cooked for me by Tim), we went out into the front garden to water the plants and do a bit of pruning - then Tim suggested a glass of wine, so we had a lovely sit down out there with that. Bliss.

In January 2025, I loaded an AGFA 100 that was about to expire into my trusty Lomography LC/A+. I took it for a few walks around Berlin. These are the pictures I took during these days.
Bierpinsel is the work of Ralph Schüler und Ursulina Schüler-Witte an architect couple who also designed the brutalist ICC Conference Center in Berlin-Westend. The original concept that came from the couple was that of a tree shape, but I don’t think this idea is there today. It looks more like a crazy Lego creation than anything else. Either way, it took four years to build it, between 1972 and 1976 and, according to the legend, it got its nickname due to the amount of free beer that was served on the opening day.
