The life of a London copper is often lonely and involves a lot of walking. /

Exerpt from my blog ”...I found, just off Brick lane, some derelict Victorian buildings. One had a Rickshaw cycle type thing dangling from its upper railings. I could not isolate it the way I wanted to but took some shots anyway before moving round to the front of the building. Moving round to the front, I was setting up my tripod when the front door of one of the crumbling houses opened, revealing a tall thin man and a short, (very short) dumpy old woman. I was a bit surprised – I had a hunch that the building was occupied, thanks to the notices to the bailiffs informing them of the rights of the current occupiers. But I never expected one of the squatters to be an old lady of seventy-something. She seemed very friendly and intelligent and started to tell me the history of the area and the buildings. I asked her if I could take her picture, but she declined, offering her ‘son’ as a subject instead, before toddling off along the cobbled street towards Brick Lane…” Canon EOS 10D / Sigma 15-30mm @30mm / 1/45th sec @f9.5 / Manfrotto Tripod with 488 Ball head / No Flash
