The age of innocence is so fleeting.

Blink and you miss it, and once it's gone. It's gone forever.

But the memories linger.

The Crystal Palace in SE London.

Was deliberately destroyed to rob us of our ancestry.

If you've got nothing to look back on with fondness...

You have nothing to look forward to.

Too many historically important landmark buildings have disappeared in the same manner, worldwide.

I was having a saunter in St Pancras Station on the look-out for compositions, as you do.. This guy wandered past me a couple of times, bare feet completely lost in his own world, oblivious to his surroundings. Where has the explosion of mental illness come from? The academic system.

In the Trocadéro at Piccadilly Circus..

The Troc's gone. It's not there any longer. The building has been redeveloped into a hotel.

In the basement there was a space where hip-hop dancers collected to work out. It was a good hang out. It was good while it lasted.

cont.. Which I made sure to use before parting with any cash. Quite frankly I was staggered at how good this HD PENTAX-D FA★ 50mmF1.4 SDM AW lens actually is. So I had no problem buying it whatsoever. A damn good investment.

This lens I found, how can I put this delicately...

A little wanting. Having used the best, only the best will do. Even 99.9% is not good enough. So I invested in HD PENTAX-D FA★ 50mmF1.4 SDM AW... to be cont..

Using the rear screen on mirrorless for composing, makes you really lazy. So it took a little bit of getting used to using the view finder again, but ultimately... Much Preferable.

Paris, Louvre...

Yes, you've guessed it...

Fujifilm X100f 2018

Earlier this summer I switched out of mirrorless altogether, deciding to go back to DSLR. As I don't do video and I'm strictly a stills photographer, Pentax ticked all the boxes.

So far so good..

This cloning story will explode...

What really piques my interest, is the quote from Jack Black a few years ago when he was being interviewed about Hollywood. He said: In Hollywood, you have to obey everything you are told to do. Or they kill you and clone you.
