Exhibition bike outside brixton tube station



I spotted this bicycle locked up to a lamppost outside Brixton tube station last week, it appears to be an exhibition of some sort, it had marker pen writing on it making reference to a couple of freedom of speech websites, which are speaking out against our government system.

They are:

www.tpuc.org (The Peoples United Community)



www.infowars.com (The site home of Alex Jones acontroversial broadcaster covering government issues)



and a youtube video

Amazing how a bicycle parked outside a tube station can link you so so much.

Horniman Museum

The Horniman Museum is a stones throw from where I grew up. It is an interesting building and has a very interesting history, I popped in the other day and was delight to see a quote from the museum's founder; Frederick Horniman:

Those who use their eyes obtain the most enjoyment and knowledge. Those who look but do not see go away no wiser than when they came.

I found it interesting as it also related to my and many others' philosophy of photography.

A few images from my visit.



The view over London from the Horniman gardens.



The impressive Aquarium in the basement.



The Quote in the entrance gallery of the museum.

A video filmed on a Canon 5D II, something that I aspire to...Great visuals, good track too. It was made by a very talented person called Chase Heavener, aka "Northern Lights".

Architecture has always interested me, I am sure it has a lot to do with my father who was an architect. I do enjoy looking up and capturing what I see. Here are a selection of images that I have taken over recent years.



The Barbican, London. Brutal architecture, in the city of London where it is very quiet on weekends. It is very rare to have a quiet area anywhere in Central London, and the Barbican area is a great place for peace and quiet if ever desired.


A car park in Welbeck Street, London. It is quite famously featured at the end of The Chemical Brothers video "Believe" which I love.

Have a look.
