An update

Anyone reading this blog will have noticed a distinct lack of entries over the last couple of months. Truth is that I have not been out taking photographs since our Workshops came to an end in July. I am putting it down jointly to losing the security of the group setting AND the increasing influence of the "I'm a photographer, not a terrorist" movement that has, as far as I can tell, made the lone photographer stand out even more from the crowd than before!

For the photography I want to take - cityscapes, streets, buildings (architecture) - where I don't particularly want people wandering through the scene, going very early in the day (or late at night) could look even more suspicious. I don't particularly want to be harrassed by the Police or, worse still, mugged (and these days, more likely knifed) and relieved by my photographic equipment.

With autumn approaching, and the days getting shorter, I will have to content myself with studio work and macrophotography until I join another group. But until then here are a couple of archive shots to be going on with......how the artistically challenged youth of Preston express themselves.
