Differing Styles

Posted on Fri, 3 October, 2014 by LensScaper

It’s easy to forget that the world looks different walking the opposite way. If I hadn’t looked behind me, I would have missed this image completely. This was another image captured on a walk from Tate Modern to Tower Bridge. … Continue reading →

Posted on Mon, 15 September, 2014 by LensScaper
