Old Edinburgh

A visit to the Scottish capital early last year to collect some work from an exhibition that friend Simon had been showing at, and this was also an opportunity to do some street photography.

We found ourselves in a part of the town that was unfamiliar and this view point came as a bit of a surprise. It shows part of the Grassmarket and on the horizon is the impressive ivory towers of George Heriot’s School.

That’s Simon lurking on the right.

I can earnestly recommend Simon’s website where you will see examples of his photography projects including, Reading, At the Vets, and Street Photography. He also produces an interesting and varied range of photography Zines that you can purchase from the site.

    I have literally thousands of images that I have not even looked at yet, its a shame really because I know I have a mountain of good images just sitting on file waiting to see the light of day! Maybe one day I will get round to them!
    
    Cheers
