Welcome to my PhotoBlog

"The ultimate wisdom of the photographic image is to say:  "There is the surface.  Now think-or rather feel, intuit- what is beyond it, what the reality must be like if it looks this way."  Photographs which cannot themselves explain anything, are inexhaustible invitations to deduction, speculation and fantasy."
Susan Sontag in On Photography

Bistro

It appears that spring has finally arrived with temperatures in the mid teens and it's supposed to improve over the next few days. So, no more excuses. I headed out on my first photo expedition since last October. Took 41 images and ended up processing this one and making a composite on another. Nothing special here, with the exception of the Bistro's colour, but that alone is enough to carry it in my opinion.

It's also prompted me to give some more thought to an idea I had for a series on intersections of downtown London. I started thinking about this last fall when I took this image. Looking back on my photography over the last several years it seems that I have been most productive when I have a project like this to work on, so I think I'll probably go with it.
