I found Samuel Johnson's house within a maze of red brick hidden alongside Fleet Street. To be in the home of the man who wrote the English dictionary, and whose indefatigable love for obscure words became the inspiration for my own lexical obsession, this, by far, is the climax of my visit to England! The best certainly has been saved for last.
There are a multitude of portraits hanging around the house like ornaments on a tree. Every likeness has its own story, meticulously retold on the crib sheets in each room. Celebrities abound, including David Garrick and Sir Joshua Reynolds, who painted several of the finer images in the house. I have developed a particular affinity for Oliver Goldsmith, of whom Boswell writes, "His person was short, his countenance coarse and vulgar, his deportment that of a scholar awkwardly affecting the easy gentleman. It appears as though I, too, could use a more flattering description of myself!

I've seen this shot done many times on flickr, but there's nothing like having a go yourself. That's Erin's engagement ring in the middle of a massive dictionary she once bought, but is only used for scrabble. It was really hard to get the ring to stay still, so it's supported by some blutac. I cloned a bit of it out, but a lot is still left.
This was taken using the old 90mm Tamron f/2.5 that I borrowed off Roy (thanks Roy!)
