#58 Museum of Broken Relationships

While people hunting on the streets of Covent Garden, we walked past the Museum of Broken Relationships. I was so fascinated by the name that I just had to go in. I had a quick peak around the exhibition and was really fascinated by the concept of possessions that reminds us of our past relationships. Maybe it's the soppy old me but I am most certainly going back for a second look. You can read more about the idea behind the museum here.

While there, I asked one of the volunteers working in the museum to pose for me. He is a student of psychology from France, who came to London for a couple of weeks to improve his English. He was the most patient guys ever happily chatting to us while I sought Emil's advice on the lighting. Thank you.

 

#54 Martha

I met up with a fellow photographer and a friend of mine, Jim last night. We were walking around Southbank when I noticed this girl sitting on the wall reading. She was happy to pose for us. I took one test shot and one with strobes. Absolutely loved what I saw and after trying another shot, I decided to leave it at that. I like the first shot so much I knew there was no point trying to make it even better.

#43 Reading girl

She was engrossed in her book. I asked her if it was ok to shoot her and she nodded and went back to reading ignoring us completely. 'Kafka on the Shore' is a good book even though not Murakami's finest. Although what do I know?! I am not a great fan of Japanese fiction.
