Liverpool Street. London I recently tried to stylise my images to make them look more like a painting. Although the straight lines up kind of overwhelm the stylistic colours. ————————————————- #liverpoolstreet #londonlife #london #igerslondon #londonist #londonstreets #londonstreetphotography #streetphotographer #streetphotography

Walking back through the Cumberland Basin the low light was fantastic on the 60’s architecture. Then out of nowhere this chopper flew over. This isn’t layered. It was just a 10 pics a second motor drive. Cheating. 😛 #cumberlandbasin #igersbristol #yourbristol #bristollife #bristol_lens #monochromatic

I don’t miss public transport in London. Steamy windowed buses on a wet winter’s night. There’s nothing nice about travelling on a bus apart from looking at passing offices that must have massive electricity bill with all those lights on especially when nobody is working. #wetwednesday #lloydsbuilding #thisislondon #londonnights

Once again the street sellers and spectators to the one and only Nottinghill Carnival are equally as interesting to photograph. #nottinghill #streetphotographers #streetart #streetphotographer #nottinghillcarnival #streetportrait

Dalian in China was once Russian Dalian, also known as Kvantunskaya Oblast. It’s growing like Hong Kong and in 2008 had the feeling of a city in its infancy. It’s next to North Korea by the sea but it had a romantic feel to it which I can’t quite explain. #dalian #sunsetphotography #fairgrounds #sunburst #china2008 #chinastreetphotography

What’s moving? The bridge or the car? I love panning out when an object is moving in. Watching old movies where they get it spot on. Try it on your zoom lens. Hours of 🤩 fun.

How has evolution made us smarter than ever yet at the cost of loosing direction. Commuting is soulless and is similar to the Hamster on a circular treadmill.

If you traveled on the Great Wall from east to west the distance is 21,196km this is in the far west and the last 5km of the wall. I was here alone for a day and managed to fall off this part of the wall as it’s made of mud & stone. The mountains in the distance are where China meets Mongolia. ————————————- #thegreatoutdoors #thegreatwall #thegreatwallofchina #wallofchina #realchina #chinatravel #bnwchina #bnwlandscape #bnwlandscapephotography #jiayuguan #jiayuguangreatwall #monochrome #monochromatic #mongoliaphotography #萬里長城 #jiāyùguān #Jiayuguan #jiayuguanfortress #jiayuguangreatwall

One of the animals that is no longer from Bristol Zoo as it sold up to property developers. After 185 years the zoo is no longer sadly. As a child it was a birthday treat. I expect it was for my great great grandfather too. #lion #lionphotography #bnwanimals #zoophotography #monochromatic

I love this street portrait. I was walking in Harbin and this little man was just sat in a motorcycle sidecar for no reason apart from he liked it there. He posed as if an adult in the cold seat.

Forget the immaculate stone built Great Wall in the East. Most of the 15th century wall is actually mud and rocks like it is here in the most westerly point. The Great Wall was built across this Gobi Desert pass. Jiayu Pass is the gateway to China from the west. #gobidesert #thegreatwall #realchina #igerschina

The stadium for the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I find the building uncomfortable but architecturally has a strong masculinity I’ve not encountered before.

Sometimes you look at pictures you took and think you’ll probably never return there. This is Russia. At the time I had to debate whether or not it was a country to visit. On a positive note the winter was probably the best time to visit such majestic sights. But that’s never going to happen again. #monochrome #wintervibes #church #misty

Its Chairman Mao time. I was looking through some of the 15,000 pictures I took in China, some of which I’ve yet to see since taking.
