This is the thumb of someone I met at at a mate’s stag do! I hope you can see the blister on it. He said he got it from playing too much play station. And when he said it was because he played the new Street Fighter game for days I had to laugh out loud. What a freaky time we live in – he got a “REAL” injury from a VIRTUAL fight!
If you’re from outside the UK you might not have heard this story. But then again you might have as I guess this is something the media in other countries would pick up big time. It is definitely a massive topic over here at the moment.
Now this morning i took a photo of the Evening Standard headline board (as i do almost every day – as you will see when i start posting these images as well) Anyway – a minute after taking this photo a young Muslim man came up to me and told me with a knowing smile that the prophet Mohammed has more than 1500 years ago (he actually told me the exact date – but i just forgot with my still half-asleep brain) predicted that the end of the world is neigh when a boy of the age 13 will father a child!
Now I m quite fond of those sorts of stories, especially with the next Armageddon date just around the corner. I m sure you all have heard already about the year 2012-end-of the world theory? (if not click here)
Anyways, does anyone know more about this prophecy I ve heard this morning? Please tell us!
I uploaded a new/old project of mine – my favourite: Grannies with Trolleys. They are meant to be together. And I can’t stop taking photos of those lovely ladies and their little partners.
It was a very beautiful day. Valentine’s Day. Me and my girlfriend decided to go to Broadway Market near Bethnal Green in the East End of London. A place I’ve only heard of a few weeks ago despite living in London for more 3 years.
The market is not big. But what it doesnt have in size it has in character. When you walk through the market street you feel a bit like being in a different time. Most shops in the street are privatly owned and beatifully maintained by their owners. There are no hints of the usual big chaines. Hence every shop and pub and restaurant is an experience in itself. The market offers a mix of food and vintage clothes, designer items, ad second hand objects of all kind. And many treasures that really deserve to be discovered by yourself. It is one of the nicest things you can do on a Saturday in London.
And we didnt seem to be the only people who thought this way. I saw many families with children and dogs and a lot of young people, that some people might describe as a bit trendy and arty folks.
I truly recommend that you go there with a loved one, friends and family or even just alone with your camera. It’s open every Saturday from 9am until 5pm. So it’s perfect for a little relaxing and reenergising afternoon stroll after a long night out!
