Cambridge Photowalk

I took part in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk, which saw 7,500 photographers in 230 locations around the world go out together and take photos of their home cities. As I’ve lived in Cambridge for a long time, and photographed many of the buildings and scenes, I decided to start on a project that has been long overdue – creating a “Colour & Form” montage of my home town. I’ve already created several of these from other places I’ve visited, notably France, Costa Rica, Barcelona, South Africa and Italy. I managed to put together this rather nice one from a 2 hour walk through town. I now have plenty of ideas for creating a dozen more “Colour & Form” montages for Cambridge, so I’d better get cracking!

Sweden

I travelled to Sweden again this year for more Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll training with other members of the Cambridge University Rock’n’Roll Team. This team, we spent a day in Stockholm at the beginning, and a day in Vasteras at the end. Unusually for me, I didn’t take that many scenic/touristic photos, perhaps because I was with a group of friends. Or possibly because it was quite grey and I wasn’t overly impressed until we wandered around the park on Djurgarden and the sun came out…

London Red Bull Air Race

A friend hosted a party the night before the Red Bull Air Race, and his apartment in London’s Docklands had a fantastic view over the race course the next morning. You wouldn’t have seen images of aeroplanes flying low and fast over central London a few years ago…
