Exploring London Since 2007
On Friday I bought myself a new digital SLR – a Pentax Km – and proceeded to take it to a few parties on Saturday, and over to Greenwich with D today. I think these are the best of the shots – these things are complicated! It’s going to take a good while before I’m […]

This week has been all new venues for me. Last night a couple of us went down to the Luminaire on Kilburn High Road to see Official Secrets Act play. I’ve just discovered these guys courtesy of S and they’re pretty amazing – the lead singer gave a frantic, almost manic performance and the music […]
