Ah the Mona Lisa. you walk in the room and immediately see the huge amount of individuals trying to capture a nice photo of this famous painting. I battled. Boy was it a battle. Elbows, feet kicking and swinging everywhere. My favourite pair of sunglasses was lost in the carnage. As i was walking away i took this photo and loved how it captured the many many people photographing this popular lady, rather than just getting a clear crisp shot of the lady herself.

The city of love! i was standing on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and was snapping away like crazy. I thought i was only going to be there once so i really wanted to capture a good one, but also something different. i saw this bridge and loved the symmetry and alignment of it. I also enjoy watching the tiny people and cars travelling around and wondering where they are off to in their lives.

London, Finnsbury Park. i loved this park. strolling through and seeing the diversity of people sitting, playing, bonding and running. I found it fascinating and wanted to sit there all day and take pictures of everyone. I sat and watched these men play basketball for quite some time. I found them humorous when they bickered in their english accents over whether a foul was committed or whose ball it was. The sun was setting and i only took a couple but i liked this one. i like the motion of the photo of the players all jumping for the ball, however the ball is engulfed in the sunlight. i like the colours of warmth and serenity even though its in the middle of a basketball game which is all hustle and bustle.
