London - April 2024

 London - 2024

Last week I spent a few days in London just hanging around, exploring new places that I've never seen or been to and just generally seeing how the city is changing and evolving.

I stayed in East London, at Stepney Green on Mile End Road, an area I kind of know a little having lived there back in the mid 80's. 

The first whole day I spent walking 25km from Peckham in South London up to Hackney then back down to Whitechapel.

The second day I walked down to Limehouse Basin then walked up to Tower Bridge then around the city for another 20km's.

The third day I visited Kew Gardens for the 2nd time, 19 years after my first visit. I really enjoyed the Rock Garden and Treetop Walkway which wasn't there last time.

After I returned to central London to visit Gee Vaucher's exhibition at the Horse Hospital, a small independent art gallery just around the corner from Russel Square. She was responsible for most of the artwork and record covers from the band Crass who had a big influence on me back in the early 80's. 

I then walked back to Stepney Green passing through the city and exploring even more, which, well, just never ends...

All shots made with a Fujifilm X100VI.

Football - Inter Empoli @ SanSiro 01.04.2024

 

San Siro, Milan - 01.04.2024

All photos shot with a Fujifilm X100VI and edited in Lightroom.

Before the game we visited "Santuario di San Bernardino alle Ossa", an ossuary inside a 13th century church just a 5 minute walk from Piazza Duomo.



From the city center we walked the 7km to San Siro in around 1.30 hours.

Calcutta - December 2023 (Part 4) Mullick Ghat Flower Market

 

Calcutta - December 2023


Part Four - Mullick Ghat Flower Market

In December 2023 I spent 5 days exploring the central and Northern areas of Calcutta.


I shot two rolls of colour film in and around Mullick ghat flower market and forgot about developing them until now.

The first roll was expired Kodak Ektacolor Pro Gold 100 shot at 50 iso which I was really surprised with as it had expired 25 years ago. The colours were really punchy and the images very sharp overall. The second roll was Portra 400 and all images were shot on my Fujifilm GF670 medium format camera.
