Concrete Information – 30/365, originally uploaded by Simon Wicks.

In an earlier picture in this project i said i was going to go back to Westminster and try to capture a couple of shots of the architecture there. I went all the way down as low as I could, to the Jubilee line, and took a look around the large walkway down there trying to get some good angles. Shame I don’t have an even wider angle lens really, 18mm still doesn’t fit in as much as there is down there.
It’s an impressive station though, the huge structural supports carry the load of Portcullis House above, and it’s all pretty space age looking.

Today was Marmite Monday.
Marmite released their new flavour, XO, which stands for Extra Old.
It’s matured with a strong taste, I cant wait to get it on some toast, or in a nice pasta.
I stuck a finger in it already, and its lovely :)

Tonight I’m round a friends house, preparing a speech I have to do tomorrow in front of a load of students at a University he teaches at.
He has a real fireplace, which is actually in use, so it got put on tonight to warm the place up a bit.

Eeeek I’m scared about tomorrow!

This is a nice little inspirational piece we have in the office.
I have no idea where it originally came from, but it’s been there for ages.

Nothing else to add.
Happy weekend!

STAND – 25/365, originally uploaded by Simon Wicks.

Another wet evening tonight. *sigh*

Walked down to somewhere i thought might make a good shot for tonight, but couldn’t really get it because f the weather.
Need to get some bags to put over my camera in the rain i think. Living in England, they’ll come in useful 364 days of the year i should think.

This is just a shot of a temp bus stop somewhere near Victoria Station. Tube’s go down, people get to stand out in the rain instead. Fun times.

Hopefully the weather is a bit better tomorrow, been sucky all week!

This was just a quick walk by (and duck down a bit) shot from this evening.
It was stickered up all the way round, both sides front and back.
Not sure quite what i make of it, but it caught my eye so chose it for today.

You can go into this restaurent for breakfast and surf the web for free. Nice of them :)

Roll in, Roll out, Roll up to the Bunny Club – 22/365

Roll in, Roll out, Roll up to the Bunny Club – 22/365, originally uploaded by Simon Wicks.

I saw a mention of the bunnies being at Spitalfield Market today, so I made the mission over there after work and hunted them out. They were on the path when i got there, earlier on and over the weekend they had been on the grass, but that was looking pretty worn out so i guess they moved them.
Nothing to fancy today, 10 second exposure, had a few goes at it, and tried a HDR as well, but went for this one as it has a plane going behind the building in the background, you can see its blinking lights and trail.

My mission got cut short by a bunch of art students showing up to dress the bunnies in scarfs and hats and shooting some clips for a video project… Thanks. It was to cold to hang around and wait for them to leave so i just went home.

What’s That Coming Over The Hill.. – 21/365

What’s That Coming Over The Hill.. – 21/365, originally uploaded by Simon Wicks.

Is it a monster? :)

I didn’t really go out today, but I didn’t want to just upload an old photo for todays part of the project. I’ve not really taken photo’s of toys and stuff like that before and included them on my feed, and so many people do i thought I’d give it a go.

This is a little night light i bought from Ikea a few years back, it usually just sits on my shelf as a toy, but I thought it might make a good model today. I sat it in my garden in the grass and set the camera up on a my Gorilla pod really close to the ground. Tried to get the grass in really sharp focus, and the light just in focus enough so you could still kind of make it out. The light lights up the grass quite well i think, and makes for quite a nice eerie shot.

Needs to be seen in full screen large size to get the full effect: www.flickr.com/photos/lonelycoo/4376440743/sizes/o/

Also, no editing other than a crop and straighten!
