During the half term my family and I went up to London and we did all the typical 'tourist' things such as visiting Madame Tussauds, London eye, London film museum, West End show, Harrods, London dungeons, selfridges, and Oxford Circus by night. I had a really good time and there were loads of great photo opportunities. These pictures are my favourites and I like then for many different reasons. The picture over London from the London eye is one of my favourites because I really like the way the yellow sticks out from the rest of the offices and buildings. Also the picture of the old man with his instrument box really shows the life of London and the fact that there is a lot of hardship as well as wealth, this relates back to the street photography I have been focusing on and the likes of Bruce Gilden and Robert Frank can be refernced. I also really like the picture of the little boy on the scooter, this photo really stands out because as I was walking along oxford street I saw children and adults and businessmen in suits, however this picture captures it all in one. The little boy is dressed in a suit and is scooting along one of the most expensive streets in London, I think there is also a good element of fun implemented in this picture. The picture also relates back to the photographers I have been focusing on over the term and one of these being street photographer Bruce Gilden. Bruce4 Gilden did a lot of street photography and his work is quirky and fun and I think my image fits well into the Gilden style. My time in London opened my eyes to different types of pictures and I had a lot of fun photographing there.
