A street in London which had a Dickensian feel to it.
Taken while on a guided photography tour of London, these great street is just near Tower Bridge. I believe these area used to be the old docks for loading and unloading the boats, but is now more residential and I’d say pretty pricey.
In Notting Hill London, just after a tonne of rain…..somehow makes the area much less depressing STREET / THE SEA/WATER / BIRDS/ANIMALS / UK / ITALY / ARCHITECTURE / CARDS / OTHER BITS

This time for some reason l was walking very slowly.. once I got here l just thought this could be the moment to take a nice picture.. I am happy with the result ! / / - / Click to view
This is how it would look framed: I’d like you to indulge me a little whilst you look at this image of Baker Street Station as it will help you to see it though my eyes. To help you do this I found a video of Gerry Rafferty playing his 70’s hit ‘Baker Street’ / I can never seem to walk through this station without the sound of that amazing sax running through my head, and since I spent 20 years of my life traveling through this station, every day, on my way to work, the words of the song seem so very relevant for me; this is an image of my home. / Baker Street is also the home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s world famous detective Sherlock Holmes. You will find tourists wandering about this part of London looking for the place he was supposed to live… almost as if he were haunting it. I think perhaps that when I’m gone we will probably both end up wandering these platforms, me and a man that never existed – how fitting. / Video Link Here

This image was nominated for the Pay Forward group by SeanOlio (http://www.redbubble.com/people/seanolio). He wrote: / “I would like to nominate David Malcolmson’s photo London Tourists / This is an extraordinary image in its own right, and has a justified place in the history of that great art form – street photography. On the one hand, it seems hard to believe that the image is approximately 41 years old, but on the other hand it is hard to escape the conclusion that it is very much a product of its time. It seems to me that works like this just aren’t being casually made anymore, so we should celebrate fine examples like this one and use them as inspiration so that we can re-ignite the flame that once powered our candid street photographers.” ** Possibly the strangest photograph I have ever taken. It was late afteroon and I was approaching the entrance to Piccadilly Station when I saw these people gazing at the local sights. I was extremely lucky to have just one frame of film left. The light was getting dim so I shot at full aperture and prayed everything would turn out all right.. Thankfully it did! London, 1967.
This classic Banksy stencil used to be up on a wall along Clerkenwell Rd, London. Unfortunately, after having been covered up for the last few weeks, it is now gone and to make matters worse, similar ‘Banksy Disappearances’ are happening all over London. Through either being covered up with board or by removing the entire wall or (as the case was with this piece) by being completely whitewashed out. It is a real shame as it is the public who are the ones that miss out.
This stencil was created in early 2008 inspired by fashion photography and damp cold London. Recently cut stencil with one layer from an older stencil of a zebra in pink on her dress, with hand drawn cobbled stones. The canvas itself is 3 times in length this is just a mere snap shot of the original piece. This piece is 1 of 3, utilising the same same stencil and composition of works I’ve posted on Red Bubble at the moment. The other is ‘snow and umbrella’ and ‘rain birds’
Banksy – East London
One of the first street shots I ever took back in 1964 in the East End of London. This was before Playstations, and probably the only ‘toy’ these kids shared between them was a skipping rope. Old bomb sites still held a fascination though as a form of amusement and exploration, as can be seen here. It was taken using a Yashica Mat 120 film twin lens reflex camera that took me six months to save up for. I used Tri-X B/W film and printed on a hard grade of paper to get the punchy contrast, a characteristic of all my early B/W work. This image was photographed digitally from the original print in my portfolio. © 1964 John Hooton Photography
somebody answer the phone © 2008 Urban Umbra in Bell Yard, there’s another Red Phonebox (aka Red Phone Booth) out of shot. The building is The Royal Courts of Justice in London.
To be honest I was slightly concerned whether this chap was just drunk, stoned… or whether he’d shuffled off his mortal coil. Passers-by didn’t seem too worried though. I guess that’s life in the big city for you.
Shoreditch , East London , 2008 evereddy © 2009 Urban Umbra This image has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group, by Tainia Finlay and this is what she very kindly had to say about it… “I love this not only for the colour but also the feeling of times past, taken in Shoreditch, London. This building has withstood two world wars and could say so much about life over the years in that part of London. Umbra has a unique way of illustrating candid street life in London. One of my favourite artists on RB.” Thanks so much Tai :))

STREETS OF LONDON /
Another quick capture tonight, from work to the tube, just as the night was falling around 5:30pm. These are the lights on the South Bank of the river Thames, close to Waterloo bridge. To me, the varying size of the lights on the picture and the slight curve of the layout, like just like a string of pearls.
