Thanks for supporting me on this Blog site over the last couple of months but i have moved my blog to a hosted website http://photographinglondon.co.uk doing this has quite a few benefits. The site is virtually complete with only the maintenance and the hard work taking photos and blogging left to do. Please continue to follow me at this new site, i believe its more appealing to the eye but i might be wrong and if that is the case then please please don't hesitate to tell me. You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook if you use either of those networking tools.
My user name for both these sites is Photographing London. My email address is photos@photographinglondon.co.uk if you want to contact me.
I am not going to delete this site just yet i will leave it running for a while so everyone knows my new address

Bank Holiday Blues
What a dreary not nice day, i have been in and out of sleep today and still not really feeling well, not well enough to go out. Thinking about taking Nico out but haven't really got the energy. Gonna have to take him out soon so he stops bothering me lol. Fresh air might do me some good. I did some networking this morning and updated my facebook which was very interesting, the way you can start with one friend and the next thing you know you've got over a hundred friends that you've never met or spoken too in yer life lol.
The news has been a bit depressing, more MP's being found out for dipping into the cherry pie and more fighting in the middle east, nothing changes. Sticking to biggyzee's world of my cosy little office with my computers books, magazine, cameras oh lets not forget the missus.
The website is coming on in leeps and bounds and i thank you all for your support in visiting and taking a look.
Can i ask you to please click on the follow button if you like to keep in touch here and listen to my rants and comments. I will be transfering this site to wordpress shortly so i can take advantage of all the tools available.
Has anyone here bought anything from ebay ? i bet most of you have. Well i am still pissed of with the blasted thing and i know its not ebays fault but the fraudsters who pimp there stolen and counterfit items on the site are to blame. I hate em and i for one will be spending the extra dollars and making my purchases from elsewhere.
Well thats my rant for today, go check out my new photos on http://photographinglondon.co.uk and thanks for the visit.

Changing of the Guard
Its the national tradition here in England for us to have a rainy wet bank holiday weekend and that's whats in store.
Not really going to bother me because it looks like i have some kind of virus and its trying to take hold of me.
The missus is in bed and no sign of movement, she's still not well.
Can you believe another MP is milking the cream, you would have thought that these people were intelligent enough to know when they are going to be rumbled.
Gary Coleman died which is really sad, for those that don't know he was the black boy in Different Strokes, he died from a stroke.
World cup fever is about to hit us not sure what time the games are going to be shown, it might mean watching the England games at work now that would be a result. While we are on sports lets wish Murray all the luck in stepping up his game.
Just took the dog out for a long walk this is the time when i really think about things and its really relaxing, well i am have to do some research into taking photographs of the changing of the guard in London.
Not sure how much you can see and if taking photographs are allowed.
If anyone has taken photos of the event could they let me know or send me a link
Posted some new pictures go have a peak www.photographinglondon.co.uk

Ebay Tricksters
Ebay sucks, its pissed me off so much now that i am thinking about deleting my account.
Bought a copy of Modern Warfare for the PC for a nice price of £23.50 the idiot posted in his auction that the item was new, well guess what ? yup you guessed it, it arrived in a nice brown package and i was drooling over it with anticipation of a mega weekend Kicking some of my chinese mates butts.
The game was'nt sealed so its not new and the big problem was no inlay with the serial number so i am real pissed. World of warcraft is not cutting it at the moment for me so its Photographing London working on the website. By the way my site is looking hot (well i think so) so not sure if i am gonna post any pics in any quantity here. But i will be airing my blog views here on what i have been doing in London and current affairs and just letting off steam. Both me and the missus are sick by the way i have flu and she is vomiting and farting all over the place lol. So this weekend looks like a nice one lol

The New Ipad
The new Ipad has been released guys and i haven't got one !
Not sure if i really really need one, it looks nice but i have too many gadget, where would i put this £500 item ?
My laptop gets used very little and my iphone does it all for me, when it comes to checking email and surfing the internet when i am mobile. The ipad is a luxury guys and not sure how its going to go down with the haves and have nots.
I think people go out of there way to buy the iphone because it serves a purpose, so spending £500 on an iphone is an investment, now spending that kind of dosh on a ipad hmmm gonna really have to think about that one. Not saying that i wouldn't buy one though if i had the dosh.
From what i have seen though its a lovely machine. Its rumoured that the Times newspaper is charging £9.95 per month for there online newspaper. What do you guys thinks about the purpose of the ipad ? let me know please

Blackheath in London where the real Ripper lived
Another gorgeous day a great day to take photographs but unfortunately i will be working in the world of Toyota. The plan is to go to Blackheath tommorow and do a shoot. I was there a few weeks ago trying to take photos owhen the London marathon kicked off from there but the rain was a big obstacle and that shoot had to be abandoned. I did get some photo's of the air balloon's which i will post when i get a quiet moment.
The focal point of Blackheath is the Centre known as the village. Blackheath got its name from the heath being used as a 14th century burial ground.
A bit of interesting information about Blackheath was the fact that a gentleman by the name of Montague John Druitt actually lived in Blackheath and he was thought to have commited all the Jack the Ripper murders. He was found floating in the Thames and thought to have committed suicide, no other murders were committed after his death. Isn't it funny that no one really mentions this man when the topic of Jack the Ripper comes up ? Anyway he used to live at number 9 Eliot Place so i will be finding that address if it still exists and taking photographs for anyone out there who's interested.
I will also get some shots of the All Saint's Parish Church. It's going to be a lovely weekend enjoy every minute of it.

Visit to East London 19th May 2010
Morning everyone and what a lovely morning it was lol, its all turned overcast and grey again, compared to about 6:00 this morning which was lovely and sunny unleashing that feeling of its great to be alive.
Took Nico the rotty out around the park and noticed that all the squirrels babies are running all over the place. Had a bit of a nightmarish time yesterday afternoon but it all turned out fine in the end. I travelled to east london to the old Abbey Mills sevage Pump site in Newham, this building is so beautiful even though its seen better days. The Mill was built in 1860 to carry the increasing amount of sewage produced in London away from the center of the city. I will post more on the Abbey when i post the pictures. It was a difficult site to take photographs as there was double mesh fences around with barbed wire everywhere. Might have to do a bit of photoshop with some of the pictures to make them viewable.
Anyway the journey to the site was quite interesting and for some bazaar reason whenever i stopped in traffic i was looking at a underground station, so i got out my little point and shoot and snapped the stations, i am sure there are underground freaks out there who would want to see the fronts of the stations so i will post them aswell lol.

Photographing London
Its been a tough week guys, not been well and been off work for a couple of days.
I've decided to start blogging and build a website to show off my photographic skills.
Being election week did not help and that morning of the election i took Nico my 2 year old Rottweiler out for an early morning walk and just as i was approaching my drive i could see one of the election workers pining polling station signs, she took one look at Nico and i could see visible panic and fright come over her, its so funny to see people's reaction to him.
To me he is a cuddly bear on 4 legs and a big softy, if your a stranger dont try and touch him lol.
Anyway she ran inside with panic lol, i got Nico inside and then had my shower put my office kit on and strolled into the polling station to vote labour.
I said to her, was it you running from me or the rotty she looked at me not recognising me and said he put the fear of god into me lol.
Why did i vote ? it looks like my vote has caused this damn hung goverment.
I am glad its over and we dont have to listen to the lies any more we've just got to start paying the price for who we voted for or who we did'nt vote for in my case.
Being of an older generation makes me look and understand how the young can get sucked into politics and believe that they can change things when to be perfectly honest nothing changes, we just pay more taxes and thats a fact.
The young are niave they believe the hype tend to be more trusting than some of us well seasoned electors !
Politics is like religion and they work hand in hand as a way to control the people, this is why the old monachs of history tried to control the church.
Anyway thats enough of me going on about control, I need to make sure that i have complete control over Nico hence why i had his nuts cut off this week! poor boy looked like he had his nuts cut off when he came round from the anesthitic lol he did have his nuts cut off.
When he sees the ladies now he looks at them and says damn you dont look shaggable any more lol.
Being a responsible dog owner it had to be done, he must have been feeling rather pent up with sexual disire i could'nt let him go through the pain of not having a bunkup it must have been rather frustrating for him.
Lets face it it's not as if dogs can masturbate lol and he was getting so bostoruous and i want to have complete control over him, there is no margin for error with a rottweiler, if he makes a mistake and nips someone is would be major surgery so lets make sure that he has no reason to be aggressive towards man or beast, bless him he's a softy.
I will post pictures of him here so you guys can let me know what a handsome specimen Nico is.
I've been off work with an aliment that's gonna need surgery. But hey life goes on and i am not going to let anything get me down.
I've been booked on this weekend photography course with Morley College http://www.morleycollege.ac.uk/ taking pictures in london and i am getting damn excited.
Both myself and my partner whom i will call LadyX for future reference went on this course and what an enjoyable time we both had, we were split up into 3 groups and i fell into the conceptual group and we decided to visit to the new olympic staduim being built in Stratford, the whole idea of taking pictures there was to get a feeling of the before and after the Stadium is built, we were going to also visit an old mill that resided not too far from the Staduim site in east london.
We arrived at the Olympic site at about 13:00 and the weather was a bit overcast but the rain held off giving us enough time to take some pretty decent shots, i actually used my tripod to capture a couple of shots of Julia Horbaschk tutor and professional photographer, using a long exposure, these were difficult shots to take as the light was changing by the minute and made exposure setting damn hard, managed to get a couple of shots but not really happy with them. Lady X got some really nice shots of the break dancers doing jumps and the graffiti artists doing there thing, will post some of her shots.
I will update these shots ASAP. We actually run out of time as Julie Horbaschk had planned to go to Abbey Lane in east london to take pictures of an old Mill that was going to be demolished very shortly.
I will be trying to get to this mill this week to take some shots.
I have undertaken my own project to take photos of all the listed buildings in london that are due to be demolished in the near future, this is an exciting task and should get some interesting shots on my treks to the sites.
Hope i have'nt bored you too much and i hope you will return to read and look at my photographs, leaving comment on my photos\writing would be useful, i am aware that the internet marketing community is an exciting arena for finding out about all aspects of photography and i hope to one day use my skills if possible with Istock pictures. If you've had any similiar experiences to myself i would also like to hear them.
Until next week take care and have a good week
