2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Avenue Of Steel
Location: Liverpool Street, London
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I had a meeting in Maldon this morning, and took a few grey, damp shots on my way home, but I wasn’t particularly happy with them. So when I went to London for another meeting this evening, I took the camera along. My friend showed me a new building just behind Exchange Square at Liverpool Street, which has some dramatic architecture and was trimmed up for Christmas. It’s a great place for photos, and no “jobsworthy” security guards in sight!

Title: Three Holloway Stooges
Location: Holloway Road, London
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: I went to the excellent Scriptingenabled conference today, held at the London Metropolitan University campus on the Holloway Road. One of the university buildings is this striking creation, the Graduate Centre, by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. He also built the Jewish Museum in Berlin, which I visited a while ago. But I haven’t seen this one before. It’s been there a while, and the locals are pretty oblivious to its striking lines now.
