Our best trained, best educated, best equipped, best prepared troops refuse to fight. It’s safe to say that they would rather switch than fight.

Taking photos is more fun when the sun is out.

This guy was out in the rain, just taking it all in at Trafalgar Square today. I long for summer—but you don’t get people dressed like this when the sun’s out.

I don’t need a 50mm lens. I don’t want a 50mm lens. I have no use for one. It would be ridiculous to even think about getting one. Now that I’ve concluded I have to get a 50mm lens, I just need to figure out which one to buy.

10 years, countless journeys, and still going strong! My trusty Brompton has been one of the best things I’ve ever bought. Absolutely love this photo I took of it.

If anyone wants to get out of going to in-laws this Christmas feel free to use this.
Just doing my civic duty.

Who needs golden hour when you have a golden car?

I have no idea who these people are, but if you're going to hang around dressed like this, I'm definitely taking a photo as I walk by.

This morning, I’ve been listening to Nick Drake’s Pink Moon album. What a great way to start the day.

The light from a nearby building reflected onto this wall, and I stopped to capture it. I’m sure passers-by wondered why I was photographing what looked like nothing.
But sometimes, nothing can reveal something beautiful.

More boring concrete for us boring people that like that kind of thing.

I am glad I went out yesterday to take photos, it has rained all day and is going to do the same tomorrow.

22,000 steps today wandering London with my camera. Cold, sunny days make the best shooting weather.

I've listened to Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins about 3 million times today.

Laundrettes aren't just for laundry—they're also great for photos! I only go for the pictures.

Got lucky with this shot! At The Barbican, I saw a stunning woman coming down the stairs in amazing clothes. I asked if she was a model and snapped this pic. She said, ‘Yes they’re filming me!’ I’d walked into their shoot. I apologised, the crew filming a commercial were cool about it! #photography

New York, Trump had just been found guilty on 34 counts and was en route to Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. The streets were crowded with TV news crews and vans, helicopters buzzed overhead, and this guy was soaking it all in, gazing up at the helicopters.
