London Street Trash
London offers up a vast amount of subject matter for a photographer, subject matter ranges from Candids, Buildings, Landscapes, cityscapes and detail shots. Everything from the out of the ordinary to the mundane can be of interest. Due to the amount of time I spend in London sometimes I find myself looking for the out of the box subjects.
After a walk along the Southbank one afternoon with very little new subject matter to show for the walk, I deviated off of my normal route and decided to cross the water and walk the North side of the river for a change.
Not far from St Pauls I can across a set of steps that seems to be a favourite place for people to sit during their lunch hour, or it may be that a group of holiday makers or tourists might have taken a breather there? who knows. When I found the steps the only remnants of the people was in the form of their litter, Cigarettes and matches and discarded flyers…..
I liked the composition of the shot due to the flyers leading you out of the shot along with the slight curve of the steps.
Dungeness Point.
Dungeness is littered with fishing boats and sheds used by the fisherman, It is a vast shingle bank that produces great images when the weather is on your side.
Wandering around the shingle banks amid the beached fishing boats and the hulls of the derelict and dishevelled vessels of years gone by your attention is grabbed by shapes, colours and patterns that are everywhere.
This vessel has not seen the water for years and I doubt if it will ever again, paint fading and peeling away and the deck slowly rotting.
Also to be found along the beach are the hand winches and mechanical winches that have been used over the years to drag the vessel back on to the safety of the shingle once the days fishing has been completed and it is time to return home.
