You Meet The Strangest People...

Not a real person mind you. But the title made you look....

Taken in Southend-on-Sea.

Light and Dark

Took this in one of our local parks/nature reserve. I'm not entirely sure why I took this shot. Quite like it though.

Walk On By

Another shot in London. Not of the people, but the cobbles. Loved the light and shadow on them. The people were an added bonus.

Even Scary Dudes Have A Soft Side

One of the last 365 shots I took of myself. I took quite a few self portraits with that mask. Still have it. May have to dig it out tomorrow. Oh, and the cup is NOT mine!

Karen

I won't lie. I was lucky to get this shot of Karen. She next to never lets me take her photo, so I have to resort to very quick candid shots and hope for the best.

The Boat

No story for this shot. It's a boat. I've textured it to make it a tiny bit more interesting to the eye. 

Teeth

Yes, a photograph of my teeth. It took me an hour to get this right. It involved not only holding a small torch in my my mouth, but also keeping the 'on' button pressed down with the teeth on the other side of my mouth.

Luckily, I didn't swallow it.

Saint Paul and His Trendy Neigbour

This is one of those photographs that was screaming to happen. A good shot on it's own, but much better with the cutout on the modern structure.

My Whole World

OK, so I tend to show off Eden an awful lot. But this one doesn't usually get shown. Taken when she was just a wee bubba (clearly), this is without a doubt my favourite shot of her. She really is my whole world.

Into The Great Beyond

One man (myself). A camera. A tripod. A pier. Lots of fog.

I had a great time taking this and the rest of the shots I took this day. It was meant to be a nice family walk along Southend pier, then the fog appeared. Not great in terms of the family walk, but excellent for photography.

The thing I like about this shot, is the wall of fog ahead of me. I imagined a whole lot of strange and creepy creatures laying in wait.

There wasn't though. Just tourists and water birds.

And a crap coffee shop.

No Matter How Long They Watched, It Wouldn't Move

I felt a little strange taking this photo for obvious reasons. The main one being that they were completely unaware that they were featuring in a strangers photo. But, none the less, it's turned out to be one of my favourite Black and White shots to date.

Taken in London.
