First of 07
I've been aworkin', leaving little time for abloggin', but I do have some pictures for you:
Leaves
More leaves
The bigger, albeit darker, picture. Oh, and more leaves
Buckingham noir? No?
Some notes from New Year (what I saw):
- A couple, combined age approx 180, hobbling out of McDonalds at 11.15 in central London. The old man's lips were permanently drawn back and he seemed to be able to see only as far as his nose. The woman would have been no more than five feet tall standing straight up, but her Quasimodesque forward hunch made her look about 4'5.
I've seen faster glaciers than those two. Yet they're out and about on New Year's Eve. A golden star for effort, I guess.
- A clearly anorexic girl waits outside the McDonalds. She is shivering so hard that if she were wearing stilettos they would start cracking through the pavement. She tries to light a cigarette, fails time after time because she can't hold the fag still. Eventually, she manages to light one. The cigarettes are so slender, out of proportion almost.
A girl in a nearby group drops a cigarette very carelessly. She practically throws it to the ground. She goes to the Slender Smoker and bums another. The thing is, there was a look from the thin girl as the careless one explained. She understood, she was a good person and she wanted to help out. Not just a goods transfer.
She hands it over, and then resumes shivering on her own.
- A tiny Japanese man walks up to a huge officer of the Met Police. Sunglasses, badass moustache and serious biceps. The tourist gestures some request, and I expect a beating, or a rejection, at least.
No, the cop gets onto his motorcycle, and poses for a friendly pic. Another. Then one with his colleague. The tourist skips off, having taken one of the best postcards of his life.
Die blaarfoto's is ongelooflik cool. En jou stories.
