Self-Portraits

Self-Portrait at St. Paul's : London, UK

Proof positive I was in London! I think these are the only photos Maya and I took together. For a couple of photographers, we're sometimes really lousy about making sure we take pictures that feature the sights and our mugs. Kind of lame, really!

St Paul's Cathedral Up Close

St. Paul's Cathedral : London, UK

Again, the weather wasn't great for photography. These are just basic pictures of the exterior of St. Paul's Cathedral. Nothing too exciting, but at least I can say I was there...

Bridge Views

Millennium Bridge LOS St. Paul's Cathedral : London, UK

I know it's July 4th and all and I should post something patriotic, but I already posted a photo of the U.S. Embassy. Happy Birthday, America! Looking good at 235.

100 Unnamed Strangers: Busker on the Bank

Busker on the Bank : London, UK

This busker was playing the Blues on the banks of the Thames across from St Paul's. I wanted to get a better shot of his face, but felt I was being a bit too intrusive, especially as I'd spent a bit of time trying to frame him with St. Paul's in the background. I gave him a few quid for letting me photograph him.

St Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Cathedral and the London Millennium Footbridge : London, UK

In seeing St. Paul's across the Thames, all I could think of were two things: this very famous photo of St. Paul's during the Blitz in World War II and the lyrics to the Disney adaptation of P.L. Travers' Mary Poppins, "Feed the Birds". As it was a Sunday, we weren't able to go inside. But again, perhaps on the next trip.
