After reading the section on photography and ideas about what to photograph I decided to start bringing my camera to work. This course is already opening my mind. I walk to work from Moorgate in the mornings mainly because I hate taking the tube in the morning from Kings Cross. Before it was just head down trying to get down the pavement without having anybody run into me. I am now starting to be more observant and have realised how interesting the City can be. I see sculptures on the buildings that I never really noticed before. The reflections in the Heron Tower on a sunny day are beautiful and I didn't realise how close I was to the Tower of London. I went out several days at lunch time and took photographs. Always before I would be sat at my desk having lunch or down in our cafe. This will give me a reason to get out in the fresh air if you can call London air fresh, but at least to stretch my legs.
I am going to look for one of those books on turning photos into fabric art when we go to the quilt show at Chilford Winery in November. I am looking forward to that and to seeing a few owners of the quilt shops I buy from as I count them as my friends.
Below are a few of the pictures I have taken already in London.
A few pictures of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. I like the textures of the stone on the walls.
