Comedic Relief

I've been meaning to post this for a while now (definition of procrastination), but after acquiring the last piece of the puzzle, or what I would call the piece d'oevre, posting was imminent.

Before further ado I present to you things that made me laugh in London, and deserved a photo.

Ps. The last picture was the icing on the cake (maybe literally).

Really, my own 'on' camera?

High Streets all over London...

Tesco's latest offering. I'll pass, thanks.

Look up, way up...

What wonderful things one can find when they take the time to look up amongst the rooftops of houses and buildings in any given neighbourhood. My fascination with looking up to the roofs of buildings began with my urban hunting of old painted advertisements. An interest in all things graffiti related soon followed and with that, a whole new world of looking up, had opened up to me.
There are endless possibilities in terms of what you will find on rooftops, whether it be downtown amongst taller buildings, or in a more residential neighbourhood. Next time you find yourself going for a walk, talk the time to look up, and embrace the opportunity to explore urban rooftops.

Product Placement

Painted advertisements used to be common-place until the use of billboards all but eliminated this practice. These painted ads offer a glimpse into products that were designed, produced, and sold locally, by family owned businesses. Over time, these painted ads began to fade, adding to their mystique, and making their documenting all the more important. The documentation of these ads is something that I enjoy doing. Although difficult to come by (for the most part), if one looks carefully enough, they can be spotted in more industrial parts of cities. Enjoy just a select few from my collection of photographs of painted ads.
