Artist's Comments

After about two minutes before this picture was made, at Canary Wharf in London, I was aproached by two police officers who started to demand why I'm taking pictures and where I'm from. When I said Ireland. They asked that I show them some ID, I told them I don't have any, and said I'm tourist and I didn't think there were any laws about taking photos in public. They just said you can't take photos here. Strange how the 20 people I saw with camera phones could snap away and I can't.
I continued on shooting whatever the fuck I felt like after they left.
I should mention that I had only a few hours sleep, and still half pissed from the night before.

It was my last day in London, and marred what was an otherwise nice little trip.

Hasselblad x-pan. 45mm + Orange filter goodness.
Ilford delta 400. Dev in xtol.

great shot man, lovely tones to the pavement.

I've never been stopped around there, perhaps it's the old 'fancy camera = professional = excuse to charge some sort of fee' cobblers.

Just ignoring them is indeed the way forward.

way to stick it to the man! Based on the outcome, I'd say it was well worth it. Awesome shot =)

A world without art? That is impossible.

I'm surprised they didn't arrest you once they heard your accent :D

Oh, and more to the point - great picture. Love the formalism of those lines, and the use of reflected light to throw the shadow :)
