In the past I have been 'into' photography... dark room, bag full of expensive gear blah,blah,blah but the fact that I seemed to spend my life looking through a lens missing what was really going on began to bug me and so I abandoned all that in favour of the standard digi-cam. I was crap anyway, anyone can be taught the technicalities but not everyone has a 'good eye'.... I fall into that category!!
So here they are, just snaps but snaps that remind me of a good time and 'my London'

Great pix, Gemma, and they do exactly what they're supposed to - act as evocative reminders and be representative of something. Each has a charm all its own and captures that unique essence, the 'x' factor that makes London what it is. I have to take issue with your protestation that you don't have an 'eye' for photography - you do. Photography is in many respects, like any other form of art, and opinions are only subjective. What matters is that you do it because you want to and the images you capture have meaning to you. Nice work.

Thank you for that, I appreciate your input :o)
The pictures are evocative to me but it's hard to be subjective about ones own efforts. If I have captured even a small part of the 'x' factor then I'm happy!
Thanks Sarah. I love Leicester Square too, this pic was taken early morning hence the lack of hustle and bustle on the edges :o)
Thanks....I love Covent garden too but didn't make it there this time. Ran out of time and energy!
